Zabbiz Agent 2.06 does not start on windows

[amr_salah944]

I have downloaded Zabbix 2.0.6 agent for windows, I extracted it and followed the docs, but when I start it using this command:

C:\Program Files\ZABBIX Agent>zabbix_agentd.exe -c "C:\Program Files\ZABBIX Agent\zabbix_agentd.win.conf" -s

It tells me :

zabbix_agentd.exe [5980]: service [Zabbix Agent] started successfully

but when I search in task manager I could not find zabbix process!
and here you are a copy of my configuration file:

Server=10.0.0.1
#Hostname=cloud
ListenIP=10.0.0.100
#ServerPort=10051
Hostname=ArchiDC1.dc.archimedia.local
ListenPort=10050
StartAgents=5
#DisableActive=1
DebugLevel=4
LogFile="C:\zabbix_agentd.log"
EnableRemoteCommands=1
LogRemoteCommands=1

Running on windows server 2008 standard SP1.
So kindly advice, and thanks in advance .

Did you do an install of the service first?

Run:

C:\Program Files\ZABBIX Agent>zabbix_agentd.exe --install -c C:\Program Files\ZABBIX Agent\zabbix_agentd.win.conf

Yes I installed it first as a service using that command.

[werneck.costa]

With the option '-i', the Agent was installed as a service and to be viewed, after the installation, go "Start/execute":

services.msc

Search the "Zabbix Agent" line, commonly is the last one. You need to start it manually, clicking and selecting "Start".

The difference is when you execute the zabbix_agentd.exe with "-s", you are Saying "Start it now". And, the "-i" option says: "Install it Now".

Give it a try without using quotation marks.
They're not needed, even if the path contains spaces.

I did that and it's already installed and appear as a service

Exactly that was the problem.
Really Thanks for your help.

Ok.
I had not paid attention to the quotes. Sorry.
