New to Open Source and Zabbix

Hi,

My background is with HP Openview product suite.

I am attempting to install zabbix ( on ubuntu ) and seem to be stuck on creating database schema part. Here is the error message,

$mysql -u zabbix -p 'passworddefined_in_zabbix_server.conf" < create /schema/mysql.sql
bash: create/schema/mysql.sql: No such file or directory

Any hints on what to do?

Thank you

Greg

Adjust the path of SQL file.

$mysql -u zabbix -p 'passworddefined_in_zabbix_server.conf" < create /schema/mysql.sql
bash: create/schema/mysql.sql: No such file or directory

You're getting tripped up on relative vs absolute paths. In this case you've submitted an absolute path /schema/mysql.sql, you likely want to remove the first "/". Pathing is the same under Linux as it is under Unix thanks to Posix compliance. :-)

Hi,

Yes following the documentation line for line is not the right method. The problem was with the path and I had to run the command from the right path based on where the files were installed.

Thanks
