zabbix_server wont start on RHES3 or RHES4?

[BigBirdy]

I just compiled and tried to start the 1.1 beta9 zabbix_server process on an RHES4 system and mysql 4.1.10, bit it doesnt seem to want to start? Have also tried on a fresh RHES3 system, with the same results?

I am trying to run either with su or logged in as another user, but this is the message I get

root@penguin:/usr/local/bin# su stork ./zabbix_server
./zabbix_server: ./zabbix_server: cannot execute binary file
root@penguin:/usr/local/bin#

Permissions seem fine:

root@penguin:/usr/local/bin# ls -la zabbix*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 184177 May 8 08:40 zabbix_agent
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 252129 May 8 08:40 zabbix_agentd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20396 May 8 08:40 zabbix_get
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29758 May 8 08:40 zabbix_sender
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1569955 May 8 08:40 zabbix_server
root@penguin:/usr/local/bin#


And nothing gets logged to /tmp/zabbix.log

i dont think zabbix will run as root unless you have created the zabbix user. also, try changing ownership of the files to someone who isn't root.

Still no luck....very strange

root@penguin:/usr/local/bin# ls -la | grep zabbix
drwxr-xr-x 2 zabbix zabbix 4096 May 8 10:45 zabbix
-rwxr-xr-x 1 zabbix zabbix 184177 May 8 12:50 zabbix_agent
-rwxr-xr-x 1 zabbix zabbix 252129 May 8 12:50 zabbix_agentd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 zabbix zabbix 20396 May 8 12:50 zabbix_get
-rwxr-xr-x 1 zabbix zabbix 29758 May 8 12:50 zabbix_sender
-rwxr-xr-x 1 zabbix zabbix 1569955 May 8 12:50 zabbix_server
root@penguin:/usr/local/bin# su zabbix zabbix_server
zabbix_server: zabbix_server: cannot execute binary file
root@penguin:/usr/local/bin#

Have you watched output while runnig make / make install?
was everything fine?

[BigBirdy]

Nothing seemed to show up in the configure or the make, but below I have attached the output. I ran

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp

Then "make"

Then "make install"

Here's a thought. Is your SELINUX enabled and set to restrictive? What does dmesg say right after you try running zabbix_server?

compile without net-snmp.
