Ask for help, zabbix installed good but not working

[taenacup]

Previously I installed Zabbix 1.8.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 using apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql. Everything went all right and I can use its frontend. However, it was not working well with zabbix agent 2.0 I installed in a monitored PC.

So, I desired to switch to 2.0. I autoremove zabbix 1.8.1 and I installed 2.0 everything mentioned in http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...lation/install.

The problem now is when I go to localhost/zabbix/, it is the installation page of 1.8 despite php files of 2.0 in /var/www/zabbix.

Any log files could be requested. Any help would be appreciated.

Zabbix 2 installation

I would recommend setting up a virtual host for Zabbix 2 that has a different server name. It sounds like the apache configuration is not pointing to the right php.

That way you can be sure about where the installation is located on the server. Follow the steps to make the server binaries etc... the php frontend stuff you should move to somewhere like /var/www/zabbix2 (in fact you could just make /var/www/zabbix a symlink that points to your zabbix php frontend.

If you want to test before making changes to bind (or whatever dns) you can just modify your hosts file eg:

Add an entry with the new server name and ip address of the server.

192.168.122.177 zabbix2.local.vmnet

example of a vhost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName zabbix2.local.vmnet
DocumentRoot /srv/www/zabbix-2.0.1/frontends/php
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /srv/www/zabbix-2.0.1/frontends/php/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>


Remeber to configure your zabbix server configuration in /etc/zabbix with the same database as the one in frontends/php/conf/zabbix.conf.php

Hope that helps.
