failed to open stream: Permission denied

[dwhite]

I've reinstalled ubuntu and zabbix twice now and each time I get to the end I get this error opening the webpage

* include(/etc/zabbix/dbconfig.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied[/home/zabbix/public_html/include/config.inc.php:131]

* include(): Failed opening '/home/zabbix/public_html/conf/zabbix.conf.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear')[/home/zabbix/public_html/include/config.inc.php:131]

This is obviously a 'rights'/chroot issue. Both locations of the file look strange to me.

Why is your dbconfig.php in /etc/zabbix/ and not under the web-directory? Why are you running zabbix under a user directory and not in /var/www/ or as a normal apache virtual host?

Maybe you can share a little more detail about your setup and the way you installed zabbix?

setup

I used the wiki directions for ubuntu:

http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/ins.../ubuntuinstall

some things were a little different because I used apt-get install to do that actual install.

for the web section I followed these commands

mkdir /home/zabbix/public_html
cp -R frontends/php/* /home/zabbix/public_html/

and added this

Alias /zabbix /home/zabbix/public_html/
<Directory /home/zabbix/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

the major problem is there's no frontends directory in my install so I had to go find the files. I do believe this is most of the problem but am not good enough with ubuntu permissions to correct the problem.

Ok. When you apt-get the packages, everything will be installed for you. The guide you are referring to, suggests to use the source package (which is different from the apt-get package in many ways).

It looks to me that you now have some funny combination between package installation and source configuration.

I suggest to either follow the guide (for a 100%) or install the package with apt-get. Not a piece from one and another piece from the other.
