zabbix server binary

[michaill]

Hello, I'm installing Zabbix 2.2.3 on CentOS 6.3.

I need to install zabbix server under one specific directory as per company policies, so the standard yum install won't do. Ideally, I'd like to create a binary that could be distributed to other servers. What would be the best way to proceed? It says in documenation I could build Zabbix from sources with --enable-static flag to create a binary, but then it says it's not recommended.

Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

The zabbix distribution does not have any libraries (.so) and respect a given path for the config files. So you should be fine with manually extracting the files from the CentOS RPM (alien?) and throw it over your file system.

Just make sure you edit the init scripts and tell them the non-standard path to the config files.
