/etc/init.d/zabbix_server start VS services zabbix_server start

hi everyone.
i've got a problem here.
when i start zabbix server like this:

/etc/init.d/zabbix_server start

everithing goes fine.
BUT
if i start zabbix server like this:

service zabbix_server start

i've got a database connection error, and zabbix server does not start:

[z3001] connection to database failed: [-1]

what am i doing wrong?

If you use the service command, not inherited, such as environment variables.

Please check whether you are using environment variables, such as the need to connect to the database.

If necessary to set the environment variable, please try to be explicitly specified in the init script.

i run both commands under root user

If necessary to set the environment variable, please try to be explicitly specified in the init script.

do you mean that i have to define database specific environment variables in zabbix_server config file?

Two ways that is the process of start-up procedure is different.
You have to define database specific environment variables in /etc/init.d/zabbix_server.

i added db environment vars in /etc/init.d/zabbix_server and it worked!
