Error when running script

[Ishtar]

Hi,

First of all, sorry for my English. It's not my main language

I configured Zabbix and all is working fine, untill i used the ping script.

I get the following 2 errors and I really don't know what to do with it.

Error 1:
socket_connect() [<a href='function.socket-connect'>function.socket-connect</a>]: unable to connect [111]: Connection refused[/var/www/zabbix/include/scripts.inc.php:76]

Error 2:
Cannot connect to ZABBIX server [localhost:10051] [Connection refused]

This are the lines 74, 75 and 76 in scripts.inc.php:

if(res){
global $ZBX_SERVER, $ZBX_SERVER_PORT;
$res = socket+connect($socket, $ZBX_SERVER, $ZBX_SERVER_PORT);}

Do i get it right that the $ZBX_SERVER and the $ZBX_SERVER_PORT parameters are defined in the zabbix.conf.php file?

I manually added the IP and the port number in the file and when i only manually insert the portnumber, the first error disappears.
But the second error get even stanger.

Cannot connect to ZABBIX server [localhost:10051] [succes]

I really don't know what to do at the moment

your Zabbix_server is not running,check it

I checked the zabbix_server and it was running.

I stopped it and than started it again and now the scripts work.
don't really know what the problem was but it works now

Edit: ok i rebooted the system and the server wasn't running. I guess that during bootup, the zabbix_server daemon is started by root

any idea how i can check/change that?

You need to add the zabbix start scripts to the system autostart service. there is a little bit different on vary system, please refer the posts on the wiki:

that is done bij the following commands, right?

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

When i did that, i got this message:

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent missing LSB information

is this a problem?

I already did this with my initial installation ,so that is not the problem. ( I guess)

during boot, i see the message:
starting zabbix-server
starting zabbix-agent

no [OK], like the other daemons that are started.....

any1 got an idea how to fix this?

Your OS and distribution information would definitely help us help you out.

Using ubuntu Server 9.04 (Jaunty)

But i got it working.

I figured that the zabbix-server wasn't started at boot. So i created a script that runs at boot with the following command (got it from somewhere on this forum if I remember right, so credits to that person ):

sudo -zabbix -c /etc/init.d/zabbix-server start

this script runs at boot and when i go to the zabbix interface, i can use scripts.
Also, at the 'Status of Zabbix' i get zabbix server running = yes ^^

tnx all for the help
