Zabbix Server 5.2 installation

[Amiram]

Hey,

I'm trying to install the Zabbix Server 5.2 from scratch on Ubuntu 18.04 version using the following documentation

https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=5.2&os_distribution=ubuntu&os_version=18.04_bionic&db=mysql&ws=nginx

.

I have encounter two problems.

1. Unable to connect to the mysql database that just has been installed
   1. There is no such mysql service at all
2. Missing /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz so I cant configure my database.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

Have you installed a MySQL server or MariaDB server?
If the create.sql.gz file does not exist, make sure that you have enabled the option to not install the document attribute file when installing the package.

ex.

I'm installed the MySQL server version.
And I don't event have the exclude file mentioned

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-help/355372-create-sql-gz-no-such-file-or-directory#post408546

so there are noting to comment out of it

The SQL statement for creating the database is also in the source tarball. You can also have the SQL statements in the source tarball read in sequence.

ex.

$ wget https://cdn.zabbix.com/zabbix/sources/stable/5.2/zabbix-5.2.5.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf zabbix-5.2.5.tar.gz
$ cd zabbix-5.2.5/database/mysql/
$ ls
Makefile.am Makefile.in data.sql double.sql images.sql schema.sql
$ mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix < schema.sql
$ mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix < images.sql
$ mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix < data.sql
