    New installation, Zabbix doesn't start

    This is on Ubuntu 8.04, installed from source following the docs for compiling from source on Ubuntu. Zabbix 1.8.2

    Everything appeared to go well on the install, but when I try

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

    and

    sudo /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent start

    no processes are present. I get no error messages either. I have the front end installed as well, and on the Monitor tab "Zabbix server is running" says "no".

    How do I start finding the issue?

    Fixed. Two separate problems.

    There was a typo in the server start script pointing to the binary.

    The agent had the "Can't recreate Zabbix semaphores" problem and I found a solution to that in the forum.

      Don't know about Ubuntu, but in my /etc/init.d/ both zabbix server and agent have an underscore not a hyphen.

      /etc/init.d/zabbix_server start
