I have the same problem on Debian 7 using the repo from zabbix.com with agent 2.2.9

root@zabprox:/etc/zabbix# zabbix_agent -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf start
zabbix_agent [4001]: unknown parameter [PidFile] in config file [/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf], line 13

Config looks like this:

############ GENERAL PARAMETERS #################

### Option: PidFile
#       Name of PID file.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# PidFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid

PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid

EDIT: I could fix my problem by downgrading the Agent to 2.2.8

I spent couple of hours trying to find the solution. Pay attention that zabbix_agent and zabbix_agentd are not the same.

# zabbix_agent --config /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
zabbix_agent [17204]: unknown parameter [PidFile] in config file [/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf], line 13

# zabbix_agentd --config /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
