Frontend on Secondary Server

[WernerCD]

I have "ZabbixServer" with Zabbix 2.0.5 installed and chugging along. I can go to http://ZabbixServer/ and browse with ease.

PrimaryServer is an internal server, not accessible to "outside". We have a server "WebServer" which hosts our website.

I'd like to setup http://WebServer/zabbix to show the frontend for ZabbixServer. I've copied the frontends/php to a folder, aliased it and after login it simply redirects to ZabbixServer/ instead of staying on WebServer/zabbix.

Or do I need to have Zabbix_Server running on WebServer and simply pointing towards MySQL on ZabbixServer?

I hope I'm making sense with my question.

You just need to install the frontend part of zabbix and point to your DB (You can find details in the install instructions).
You can download frontend packets here:
http://www.zabbix.com/download.php

E.g. for debian:

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.0/debian/pool/main/z/zabbix/zabbix-frontend-php_2.0.5-2_all.deb

I have the same issue as when I installed it manually (difference is location, results are the same):

1) copy frontends/php to /var/www/WebZabbix (deb creates /usr/share/zabbix)
2) Alias /MyZabbix /var/www/WebZabbix (deb creates alias to /zabbix)
3) edit /var/www/WebZabbix/conf/zabbix.conf.php (compared to /usr/share/zabbix/conf/zabbix.conf.php)

<?php
// Zabbix GUI configuration file
global $DB;

$DB['TYPE']     = 'MYSQL';
$DB['SERVER']   = '192.168.25.1';
$DB['PORT']     = '3306';
$DB['DATABASE'] = 'zabbix';
$DB['USER']     = 'zabbix';
$DB['PASSWORD'] = 'zabbix';

// SCHEMA is relevant only for IBM_DB2 database
$DB['SCHEMA'] = '';

$ZBX_SERVER      = '192.168.25.1';
$ZBX_SERVER_PORT = '10051';
$ZBX_SERVER_NAME = 'zabbix';

$IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT = IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG;
?>

The resulting php file created by the install script is the same as the one I edited manually, and has the same results: If I go to myserver/zabbix then log in it redirects me to zabbix/dashboard.

ZabbixServer is not accessable to the outside world. WebServer is. This results in the same issue: https://webserver/zabbix redirects to http://ZabbixServer/ which won't work.
