Installing latest version of zabbix agent on centos 7

[alekos xanthas]

Hi,

I am trying to install zabbix agent on centos 7 and get this error
file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf from install of zabbix-agent-4.2.8-1.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package zabbix40-4.0.17-1.el7.x86_64

i previously remove the older version.

is there a way to delete all zabbix agent related files from the previous installation?

If you want to use Zabbix official package, please delete zabbix40 package which is not Zabbix official package. Before deleting, it is better to make a backup of the configuration file. (ex. /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf)
And Zabbix 4.2 is no longer supported. Please consider upgrading.

My point is that i delete zabbix40 but still get this message conflict with zabbix40 and cannot install the 4,2 version
is there a way to purge or clean all the remaining files of the previous installation?

Looking at the error message, it seems that zabbix40 could not be deleted. How was it deleted? How did you confirm that it was deleted? If you remove it properly, you can install it.

ex.

# yum remove zabbix40
