I'm new for Zabbix

[beeloo]

Hi,

I just install the OS RHEL 5.5 64Bits and installed mysql server. I'm having trouble to create a user call "zabbix" in mysql and create a database called "zabbix". Could someone please help me out here?

Below is the error message I'm having:

[root@zabbix Server]# mysql -u zabbix -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 16
Server version: 5.0.77 Source distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8;
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'zabbix'

I think I got that working. Now I'm try to compile the source but give me below error:

[root@zabbix zabbix-1.8.3]# pwd
/tmp/zabbix-1.8.3
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.8.3]# ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl # for MySQL + Jabber + WEB monitoring
.

Please advise.

Fixed the configure: error: Not found mysqlclient library issue.

I re-compile again and get below errors:

.
.
checking for IKSEMEL... no
configure: error: Jabber library not found

I'm running RHEL 5.5 64bits and IKSEMEL already installed.

[root@zabbix tmp]# rpm -qa iksemel
iksemel-1.4-2_2.el5


Please advise.

By just using below command, I was able to compiled and installed the program.

[root@zabbix zabbix-1.8.3]# ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl # for MySQL + Jabber + WEB monitoring

make install works fine too.

After that, I followed the installation manual and do below:

Go to /etc/services and add below:

zabbix-agent 10050/tcp #Zabbix Agent
zabbix-agent 10050/udp #Zabbix Agent
zabbix-trapper 10051/tcp #Zabbix Trapper
zabbix-trapper 10051/udp #Zabbix Trapper


If you are using the zabbix_agent, type like this:

vi /etc/inetd.conf
add this -> zabbix_agent stream tcp nowait.3600 zabbix /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agent
save it and type -> killall -HUP inetd

However, I'm not able to see the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf, /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf and /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

[root@zabbix etc]# cd zabbix
-bash: cd: zabbix: No such file or directory

Looks like zabbix folder isn't there. What seems to be wrong?

[root@zabbix sbin]# ./zabbix_server
-bash: ./zabbix_server: No such file or directory
[root@zabbix sbin]# pwd
/sbin


Please advise.

See the install guide: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/1.8/manual/installation/installation_from_source#zabbix_server

At Step 8 it says, "You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agent.conf as example."

Don't forget to read Step 9 & 10.
