"32715:20100217:135347 Failed to connect to database: Error: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'zabbix' [1044]"

Obviously you need to correct this problem.

[zabbix_zen]

Jesus,

too much unfiltered output!
When MrKen asked for it you should have done,

ps -ef | grep mysql

However I can see it there, so (it seems) your DB is up.
root 2110 1 0 Feb10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --d

I don't like your

ll /usr/bin/mysql*

though, do an

updatedb; locate bin/mysql

and if you really can't find the binary I would update the MySql packages.

Anyways, if that's not the case, do a

service mysql stop

, repeat the

ps -ef | grep mysql

and see if there's still any mysql process hanging, if true

kill -9

it's pid and

service mysql start

await a few minute and do a

mysql -u root -p

(your password)

use your_zabbix_db;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON your_zabbix_db.* to your_zabbix_db_user@localhost identified by 'your_chosen_passwd';

now u must configure ur zabbix_server.conf DB credentials accordingly.
After all this your zabbix_server should start flawlessly

IMHO

You might also want to consider getting off version 1.6 and going with 1.6.8

Or even wait a few days and go with version 1.8.2 when it is released.

Generally the base release of a major upgrade: 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, etc are buggy and you should wait for a few bug releases before implementing.
