Zabbix upgrade path question

[stav13]

Hi,

I am attempting to upgrade our Zabbix 2.2.1 server but wanted to ask a question first;

We currently have two servers, one which is the application server and another which is the DB server. I have upgraded Zabbix before when both App & DB were on the same server. This was done by stopping the zabbix server service then downloading the upgrade and running the below after un tar'in the file;

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --enable-ipv6 --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2

My question is do I then have to run the above on the DB server as well?

Many Thanks

which version are you upgrading from? if it's older than 2.2, you need to upgrade the db server.

you will still have to run "make install" on the app server, copy the php directory to your web server.

Hi,

Im upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2

I have run the ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --enable-ipv6 --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2

But getting the error = configure: error: Not found mysqlclient library

I have tried to then yum install mysql-devel but get the below error;

[root@sg-srv-zx zabbix-2.2.2]# yum install mysql-devel

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any ideas?

yum install mysql
?

As i was using the REMI repo i did the below;

yum --enablerepo=remi install mysql-devel

Now i have upgraded so all good.

Thanks

./configure doesn't do the upgrade, "make install" does

and you still have to copy the php files:

mv /var/www/html/zabbix /var/www/html/zabbix.old
mkdir /var/www/html/zabbix
cd frontends/php
cp -a . /var/www/html/zabbix
