Can't find Zabbix program files

[Daniel Carnevalli]

Hi,

I have installed zabbix 1.6 in a RedHat linux by tar.gz file.
The problem is that I can't find the /usr/local/zabbix/bin/zabbix_server program. In directory /opt/zabbix/zabbix-1.6/bin, where I unziped the tar.gz, I just have a win32 and win64 directories.
When I try to start service /etc/init.d/zabbix_server, appear the message that file cannot be find.
I have ever installed the web environment and it's OK.

Can you help me, how can I find the binaries, server and agent zabbix programs?

Thanks, regards.
Daniel Carnevalli

Where did you download that tar.gz file from ?

[Daniel Carnevalli]

I downloaded from the site www.zabbix.com that redirect to sourceforge.net

[Calimero]

Could you tell us exactly what link ?

Because download page on zabbix.com only has binaries for zabbix_agent (v1.4.x).

As far as I know (or see) there's no pre-compiled zabbix_server available directly from zabbix.com

Hi,

I downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...se_mirror=ufpr.

Then I unzip this and execute configure, as follow:
#./configure –with-mysql –with-net-snmp –with-jabber –with-libcurl=/usr/lib64

But, after this, I can't find zabbix_server or zabbix_agentd.
If I try to start as /etc/init.d/zabbix_server start, it's not possible, because I receiver an error that cannot find the /usr/local/zabbix/bin/zabbix_server

did you run "make install" ?

Here are 2 Guides that helped me.

Ye, I ran "make install" after this configure command.
I'll try your sugestions.
Tks

Daniel, here are the steps I use to install to Ubuntu Linux. May be of help. This is for installing the server and the agent.

1 - Download and Untar the Zabbix source files:
wget http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/s...x-1.6.1.tar.gz

After download is complete, run the following:

tar zxvpf zabbix-1.6.1.tar.gz
(This will put the files into /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.6.1)

2 - Create a zabbix database and populate it:
Start mysql
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
sudo mysql
create database zabbix;
grant all on zabbix.* to zabbix@’localhost’ identified by ‘password’;
quit;

From /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.6.1/
cd create/schema
cat mysql.sql | mysql -uzabbix -p<password> zabbix <-- <password> is whatever your MySql pasword is, remove brackets
cd ../data
cat data.sql | mysql -uzabbix -p<password> zabbix
cat images_mysql.sql | mysql -uzabbix -p<password> zabbix

3 - Configure, compile and install the server:
cd ../..
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mysql --with-net-snmp
--enable-agent --enable-server (do not copy and paste this command, type manually)
make
sudo make install

4 - Prepare the rest of the system:
sudo <edit> /etc/services
Add at the end:
zabbix_agent 10050/tcp # Zabbix ports
zabbix_trap 10051/tcp
Save and exit.
sudo mkdir /etc/zabbix
sudo chown -R zabbix.zabbix /etc/zabbix/
cp misc/conf/zabbix_* /etc/zabbix/

Copy the init.d scripts:
sudo cp misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-server /etc/init.d/zabbix-server
sudo cp misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-agent /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent

Edit the zabbix-server script
sudo nano /etc/init.d/zabbix-server

Look for the following line:
DAEMON=/home/zabbix/bin/${NAME}
and replace it with:
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/${NAME}

**Do the same as above for the zabbix-agent script**

Save and exit.
Now set the correct permissions and set ZABBIX to start when the machine boots:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix-server
sudo update-rc.d zabbix-server defaults

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent
sudo update-rc.d zabbix-agent defaults

Edit the configuration files:

edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Hostname=xxxxx
uncomment the userparameter lines at the end of the file.

edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf(Make sure to at least check these settings)
#DBPassword are ignored.
DBName=zabbix

# Database user
DBUser=zabbix

# Database password
# Comment this line if no password used
DBPassword=xxxxxx

save and exit


Start the services :

sudo /etc/init.d/zabbix-server start
sudo /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent start
Now check to make sure that they are running:
ps -ef | grep zabbix

HI,

Now I have other problem....
I executed the command as this.....

#./configure --enable-server -- enable-agent --prefix=/usr/local/zabbix --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl=/usr/lib64

... and the response is


Checking for curl-config... /usr/lib64
configure: error: Not found Curl library

I have ever found libcurl.a, libcurl.so at /usr/lib64 but!?!?!?

Any idea?

Checking for curl-config... /usr/lib64

Any idea?

It is checking for the program/script named "curl-config". The program outputs all sorts of information about where the compiler should find the libraries and what not. Are you sure that is found on the system?

If you are using a binary based linux distro, you should install the libcurl-dev package.

HI,
#./configure --enable-server -- enable-agent --prefix=/usr/local/zabbix --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl=/usr/lib64

As tenzer said, ./configure is looking for the curl-config utility.

On CentOS 5, curl-config is provided by curl-devel[.i386 or .x86_64].

Once installed run configure with --with-libcurl=/usr/bin/curl-config .

[Daniel Carnevalli]

I tried this command Calimero, but it didn't work, I have this libraries installed:

Package curl-devel - 7.15.5-2.el5.i386
Package curl-devel - 7.15.5-2.el5.x86_64

the file curl-config exists too.

I'm thinking about reinstall libcurl with rpm. Can you help me how can I do that?
I installed libcurl by yum.

Tks\

[Daniel Carnevalli]

I perceived that:

When I execute configure ...--with-libcurl=/usr/lib64, the message Not found Curl Library

When I execute configure ...--with-libcurl=/usr/bin/curl-config, the message is Not Found Libcurl Library

I tried to copy files from /usr/bin/curl* to /usr/lib64, but it didn't work

[tchjts1]

Do you need to do web monitoring? If not, I think you can just skip the libcurl statements in your compile.
