Connection Refused when usin ping tool in zabbix map

[mawoh]

Good morning.

We have just started to use Zabbix for monitorring our coustomers`s systems.
so my knowlegde about zabbix is not at high level :-)

My Problem:
Zabbix 1.8.2 is running on an ubuntu server 10.04. Everything works fine. I can monitor the systems with the agent. And I also can use the discovery for searching http-sites for example.

But the ping/traceroute function does not work.
If I want to ping a system in the map, I only get a white field with the error discription "connection refused".

With terminal, everything works fine. I can ping systems. I can use ping /fping / traceroute etc.

I tried several soloutions: set suid bit / control the path of fping in the zabbix.conf .... but nothing helped.

So please help me :-)

Very much thanks to you all and have a nice day!

I have had same problem.

The answer is very simple:

in file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

comment out line:

#ListenIP=

in file /etc/zabbix/dbconfig.php

set line:
$ZBX_SERVER="localhost";

It works for me.

in file /etc/zabbix/dbconfig.php
set line:
$ZBX_SERVER="localhost";

What is this file /etc/zabbix/dbconfig.php ?
Correct file name is zabbix.conf.php !
And the location for you web interface configuration file (/etc/zabbix/dbconfig.php) is very strange.
