Read configuration file after compiling zabbix

[jflo]

Hi,

I compiled the Zabbix server source code, but I have a couple of questions.

1) Is the zabbix server a single executable?, if so, can I move it to another Ubuntu machine and run it there without having to recompile the whole thing?(assuming the arch is the same)

2) I read the init.d script, but I does not specify the configuration file location for the server. Should I add the path to the configuration in the init.d script file so that zabbix knows where to find it every time I start/restart the service?

Ex: ZABBIX_BIN="/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server --config /opt/zabServer/etc/zabbix_server.conf"

I think zabbix looks in the etc folder that was created after compiling by default, but I need to move that file somewhere else, so I need to know how to tell it without havving to manually running the zabbix_server with the config flag.
Thank you

1.) I think that static linking can solve your problem - configure -h can help you
--enable-static Build statically linked binaries
2.) Yes, you can. zabbix_server -h:
-c --config <file> Absolute path to the configuration file
