Zabbix 2.4 install on CentOS 6.5

[Joe M]

Hello, I am new to Zabbix and still pretty new to Linux. We have a lab with an (almost) isolated network. I am trying to install Zabbix 2.4 on my CentOS 6.5 box. I have tried to run the live versions, which boot to Suse then fail. And I have run zabbix-2.4.0-1.el6.i386.rpm which doesn't look like it does anything. I do find a Zabbix folder in /etc but it is totally empty. Basically I am just looking for some guidance on installing this software on an air gaped network. I've been doing research for a few days and have just hit a wall. Any help is appreciated.

Cheers!

Hello and welcome to Zabbix forums!

There are some online manuals as well as official documentation which can help you a lot.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/installation/install_from_packages

I have some internal notes on the procedure but not in a form that could be published with lots of editing. If you have some more detailed questions then I could try to answer.

Best Regards,
Ingus

Thanks for your reply Ingus. I am taking a different approach now. I want to run the Zabbix Appliance in Virtual Box. The install hangs though. Check the attachment. It shows as far as I am getting. Thanks again.

Thanks Ingus, I am taking a different approach now. I want to run the Zabbix Appliance in Virtual Box but the install hangs. I followed this tutorial closely. http://www.zbxtutorials.org/2012/10/...lab-setup.html

Hi,

How much RAM did you specify in Virtualbox?

1024MB should be enough though.

Does 2.4 support centos 6?

[Atsushi]

Zabbix 2.4 install by Zabbix SIA's repository is support for CentOS 6.

After install zabbix-release-2.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm,
I think you must clean for yum cache.

ex.

# yum clean all
# yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql

Setup Script for Zabbix 2.4 on CentOS 6 64bit

Joe,

I have a little setup script for you to simplify the process of installing Zabbix 2.4 on CentOS 6 64bit as much as possible. You still have to import/create database and credentials manually, but all system package related things are automatic. Let me know how it works for you. Here you go: https://javapipe.com/files/zabbix-2....p-rhel6-64.txt

Good luck!
