How to upgrade zabbix from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2 ?
It's written "Recompile Zabbix binaries and update front-end PHP files." what means "update front-end php" ?

Thank you.

Hi,
I have this situation:

Zabbix 1.8.1 (server, agent, frontend) on ubuntu 9.10 server:

$ sudo find -name zabbix
./etc/apache2/conf.d/zabbix
./etc/zabbix
./var/lib/mysql/zabbix
./usr/share/zabbix

• Download source "zabbix 1.8.2" in "/home/tmp"
• untar
• sudo /etc/init.d/zabbix-server stop
• sudo /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent stop
• ./configure -prefix=/usr/share/zabbix --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl
• sudo make install
• sudo cp -r frontend/php/* /usr/share/zabbix/
• sudo /etc/init.d/zabbix-server start
• sudo /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent start

It's correct?

Yes,

in essence, that's what needs to be done.

Also note that if you have made your own skins for Zabbix that you backup your old frontend directory first, then copy the new 1.8.2 frontend and apply the changes again to your modified files. Better to be safe than sorry.

Database upgrade script is only needed if you upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8 database model.

Seemed to work for me just fine. (*knocks on wood*)
