Problem installing Zabbix on CentOS 7

[funkytwig]

I am using the instructions at https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/...em-monitoring/.

It says
$ yum -y install http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/rh...tos.noarch.rpm Then

$ cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.4.6/

$ gunzip create.sql.gz

But the zabbix directory that excists is /usr/share/doc/zabbix-release-3.4 and create.sql.gz does not exist.

[root@plankton zabbix-release-3.4]# ls -l

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 18385 Feb 15 2016 GPL

Not sure what to try next.

regards,

Ben

Hi Ben,

I wouldn't use howtoforge.

Zabbix provides step be step here - https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabb...ion=7&db=mysql

and you need to run command in root mode, not $

Thanks, was actually using root but did not install zabbix. (only yum repository)

The zabbix - release package only registers repository information. In order to use each function of Zabbix, it is necessary to install each package. Please read the page that sph919 introduces.

https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=4.0&os_distribution=centos&os_version=7&db=mysql

If you are building a Zabbix server for MySQL, do as follows.
# yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-agent

Zabbix 3.4 has already been deprecated. If you are going to use it, I recommend using 4.0.
