zabbix-server locations

[cm2000]

I'm having a few problems with my init.d script, and getting zabbix running.

I was running 1.6.2, with no problems, and then i upgrade to 1.6.5 by following the info in the PDF Doc.

The front end is running 1.6.5, but the server process isnt.

when i run zabbix_server from /usr/sbin - it runs 1.6.5
when i run the init.d script - it runs 1.6.2

My init.d script is as below:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          zabbix-server
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $network
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs
# Default-Start:     S
# Default-Stop:      0 6
# Short-Description: Start zabbix-server daemon
### END INIT INFO
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/zabbix_server
NAME=zabbix_server
DESC="Zabbix server"
PID=/var/run/zabbix-server/$NAME.pid

DIR=/var/run/zabbix-server

if test ! -d "$DIR"; then
        mkdir "$DIR"
        chown -R zabbix:zabbix "$DIR"
fi

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e
# add these lines after "set -e"
if ! [ -d `dirname $PID` ]; then
mkdir -p `dirname $PID`s
chown zabbix:zabbix `dirname $PID`
fi

export PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}/usr/sbin:/sbin"

case "$1" in
  start)
    rm -f $PID
        echo "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
        start-stop-daemon --oknodo --start --pidfile $PID \
                --exec $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1
        ;;
  stop)
        echo "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
        start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --pidfile $PID \
                --exec $DAEMON
        ;;
  restart|force-reload)
        $0 stop
        sleep 2
        $0 start
        ;;
  *)
        N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
        echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

exit 0

Whats going on?

Can someone help me fix my init.d script run 1.6.5 please? It's probably something very simple, but i cannot do it! (I see the paths in the script, but they match fine?)

Thanks in advance,

Tom

What OS are you running on? I am installed on Ubuntu and here is my zabbix-server script in init.d

/etc/init.d$ cat zabbix-server
#! /bin/sh
#
# Zabbix daemon start/stop script.

NAME=zabbix_server
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/zabbix/bin
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/${NAME}
DESC="Zabbix server daemon"
PID=/var/tmp/$NAME.pid

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
        start-stop-daemon --oknodo --start --pidfile $PID \
                --exec $DAEMON
        ;;
  stop)
        echo "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
        start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --pidfile $PID \
                --exec $DAEMON
        ;;
  restart|force-reload)
        #
        #       If the "reload" option is implemented, move the "force-reload"
        #       option to the "reload" entry above. If not, "force-reload" is
        #       just the same as "restart".
        #
#       echo -n "Restarting $DESC: zabbix_server"
        $0 stop
        $0 start
#       start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile \
#               /tmp/$NAME.pid --user zabbix --exec $DAEMON
#       sleep 1
#       start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile \
#               /tmp/$NAME.pid --user zabbix --exec $DAEMON
#       echo "$NAME."
        ;;

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 Server.

I'm guessing i could just copy yours then?

I would think so. I am running on Ubuntu 8.0.4
Make any necessary path changes though.

What is more curious to me is why you are able to launch 2 different versions of Zabbix depending on the way you call the launch script. Sounds to me like you have multiple binaries on your sysetem and your paths are in the start-up scripts are not lined up.
