[Xyue]

Hi,

I am trying to setup Zabbix server on a server A and MySQL on server B. Both server will be running Ubuntu. I have go through the installation page and database creation script.Below is the installation steps i understand so far. Kindly correct me if any mistake.

Zabbix server (server A)
-----------------------------
//Install repository configuration
# wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/ub...trusty_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_2.4-1+trusty_all.deb
# apt-get update

//Install Zabbix package
# apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php

Database (Server B)
----------------------------
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

shell> mysql -uroot -p<password> //
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by '<password>';//should the zabbix@locahost change to the IP of Zabbix server ??
mysql> quit;
shell> mysql -uzabbix -p<password> zabbix < database/mysql/schema.sql
shell> mysql -uzabbix -p<password> zabbix < database/mysql/images.sql
shell> mysql -uzabbix -p<password> zabbix < database/mysql/data.sql

I am sorry many seems like stupid question but i am not an IT guy but my boss has assigned me this task so kindly advise me.

Yes, you're right.
It has to be something like

grant all privileges on zabbix.* to [email protected] identified by '<password>';

Then, in zabbix_server.conf on Server A you will configure the connection:

### Option: DBHost
#       Database host name.
#       If set to localhost, socket is used for MySQL.
#       If set to empty string, socket is used for PostgreSQL.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
DBHost=192.168.1.1
