I can not understand why I have this error in logs:

Seems like you are not using the right password for your zabbix database,.
You can specify it in your zabbix_server.conf file, and restart the zabbix server.

got it thanks

i checked all the conf files that applied, found there are duplicates for zabbix_conf.php, in /etc/zabbix and /var/ww/html/zabbix/conf.

which one i couldnt tell is the right one, but i changed user/pw in both, and it worked.

1. which one matters? in var or etc?

2. i now have new issue:

i selected the https option in the gui. how do i turn it off, in zabbix db? i can not log in, as ssl is not working right, before i turned on https.

suggestions? thanks.

zabbix.conf.php resides in /var/www/html/zabbix/conf
