zabbix installation on WinXP

[laicibuah]

Good day,

I've a problem on installation of zabbix in WinXp, from zabbix website, its stated that theres only 3 simple step to do the installation, which are :

:: Windows (W32) agent

ZabbixW32 is ZABBIX agent for Win32 systems. It will work on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. ZabbixW32 doesn't work on other Windows platforms.


* Unpack ZabbixW32.exe
* Create configuration file c:/zabbix_agentd.conf (it has the same syntax as UNIX agent).
* Run this command to install ZABBIX as a service.

ZabbixW32.exe install

If you wish to use configuration file other that c:\zabbix_agentd.conf, you should use the following command for service installation:

ZabbixW32.exe --config <your_configuration_file> install

Full path to configuration file should be specified.

Now you can use Control Panel to start agent's service or run:

ZabbixW32.exe start

The problem is i cannot start the service.

It come with ERROR 1053 : The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Your help is highly appreciated. TQ.

if you are using a pre-beta1 agent, there is a bug that can cause it to not start up if the hostname of the machine is too long. (>15 chars?)
