Giving up RHEL5.5 - going to Zabbix Appliance

[mrmurdock]

Hi. I admit Defeat. Giving up on RHEL5.5 with Zabbix.

I installed the 1.8.8 Zabbix appliance based on SUSE Studio (onto a seperate server). I need to know how to setup the mail subsystem in this release of Linux. Sendmail doesnt seem to exist.

Did you add the EPEL repository to your RHEL system and then use that repo to install Zabbix?

Looking at your forum posts it looks like you've given up before you tried. RHEL works very well with Zabbix and the packages found in EPEL make life easy.

Actually I have had RHEL running for about a year/year.5 now with varying degrees of success.
Of course there is the issue of my inexperience with Database management (MySql) also (like cleaning up old history, re-indexing for maybe faster searches, etc..).
If you have some tcp/ip tunables that you could share, would probably help me alot.
Somewhere/somehow I lost the ability to import/export to/from Zabbix to xml files. All I end up with is empty files.

What is EPEL?

You need the php-xml package to enable support of xml in php. It's not there out of the box. That's why you're seeing this behaviour.
