Please read more manual.

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

If you can use yum, First step is zabbix-release package install.
And, You can install packages for Zabbix.

ex. for MySQL on RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 (arch x86_64)

# rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-2.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm
# yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql

If you cannot access to yum remository, you must install with some packages.
Please install the packages that depend in advance.
ex. OpenIPMI-libs, fping, iksemel...

ex. for MySQL on RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 (arch x86_64)

# rpm -ivh <depend packages>
# rpm -ivh zabbix-2.4.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm zabbix-server-2.4.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -ivh zabbix-web-2.4.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm zabbix-web-mysql-2.4.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm

Zabbix server Process error

Hi Atsushi,

This is what is already installed

zabbix-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
zabbix-agent-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64


when we try to install zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm it ask for the following dependencies where do we find the needed dependencies?

rpm -ivh --test zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
warning: zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 79ea5ed4: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
OpenIPMI-libs >= 2.0.14 is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
fping is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
iksemel is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
zabbix-server-implementation = 2.4.1-1.el6 is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64

Thank you

What dbms use for Zabbix backend?
MySQL? PostgreSQL?

And, that environment cannot access to internet?

Dependent information are stored in the package files.
If you use rpm command, you must find depend packages and install it.
If you can use yum command, yum command find depend packages automaticaly.

Hello AtSushi,

The answer to your first question is zabbix uses both Mysql and PostgreSQL but i am using Mysql as of now after refering to the documentation.

I am using the rpm command and when i am trying to test the rpm command to run the zabbix server process its telling me to find the dependencies trying to find the dependent packages but not able to find them. Can you please take a look at the dependent packages and help me out if you find any, i would really appreciate it.
The dependent Packages are as follows:-

error: Failed dependencies:
OpenIPMI-libs >= 2.0.14 is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
fping is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
iksemel is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
zabbix-server-implementation = 2.4.1-1.el6 is needed by zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64

Thank you

You can easily see if the use of the yum command.
But, don't add '-y' option.
If so, since a prompt to install is displayed, where you can choose whether or not to install.

If really want to check by rpm command, please check the software that depends on the rpm command to the package.
It is essential to verify recursively for each package.

If you check the dependencies, run the rpm command with -qpR options.
# rpm -qpR <package file name>

ex.

$ rpm -qpR zabbix-server-2.4.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/sbin/chkconfig
/sbin/chkconfig
/sbin/service
OpenIPMI-libs >= 2.0.14
config(zabbix-server) = 2.4.1-1.el6
curl >= 7.13.1
fping
iksemel
libssh2 >= 1.0.0
net-snmp
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
unixODBC
zabbix = 2.4.1-1.el6
zabbix-server-implementation = 2.4.1-1.el6
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
$

There is a point to note.
To resolve the dependency of zabbix-server-implementation,
it is necessary to install the zabbix-server-mysql or zabbix-server-pgsql.


Zabbix 2.4.1 is too old version. You should use newer version.
