Zabbix Install for Dummies

[KeithD]

I have a clean CENTos 6.4 64bit system, trying to get through getting Zabbix 2.0.8 up and running. I am a linux noob so the freaking installation routines are greek to me to begin with, then when I run into problems I don't know where to branch off to troubleshoot.

Is there a nice, clean and easy installation script that takes care of all prerequisites, downloading sources, installation, etc?

Thanks!

They are ready for you:

Success!

I used the script I found here, modified it to install 2.0.8

So it is up and running, but it doesn't appear to be polling devices properly using SNMP. I have an "old" Zabbix server install that works, just barely (takes 30 seconds to switch between screens). The templates appear to be configured the same, I have the Macro set with {$SNMP_COMMUNITY} to the correct SNMP community but I look at "latest data" all I am seeing for my devices is "Device Uptime" under "General", no graphs, not even an entry for "Interfaces",

Ideas?

It's working beautifully now!
