Can not install Zabbix-Server-Mysql

[dcoan]

Hello!

I'm currently in the process of configuring a VM to learn Zabbix but I keep running into issue after issue trying to install the Server/frontend/agent.

Quick info:

Zabbix 5.0 LTS
Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) Server LTS
MySQL
Apache Web Server.

Steps taken:

1. Install Ubunto 20.04 on Oracle VM Virtual Box
2. Complete installation configuration with OpenSSH (No additional server options)
3. Install/configure mariadb
4. Install/configure apache2
5. Install Zabbix (This is where we are.)

You can follow along with this zabbix guide: https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabb...focal&db=mysql

See Step 2 Part B which instructs: # apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-agent

all versions of # apt install zabbix-server-mysql come back with unmet dependencies of:
libldap-2.4-2
libsnmp35
and libssl1.1

So far I am stuck trying to install libsnmp35 as I have no way of acquiring it. Aptitude has failed to install it and rmadison libsnmp35 reads back 5.8+dsfg-2ubuntu2.3" and quite frankly I don't know what to do with that.
Additionally, libldap-2.4-2 reads back to me that I need to install libldap-common, which is acquirable through apt install. I have not attempted libssl1.1 yet.

Hopefully this makes a bit of sense to someone. I will most likely need more help. Thanks in advance!

We have a winner. I'm using 22.04.

Do you have a specific reason for installing the previous-generation Zabbix server? Installing Zabbix 6.0 LTS will give you the latest long-live release with the latest database settings.

That may also resolve your dependency problems (just thinking because 6.0 server was just released a while ago for Ubuntu 20.04).

try to update apt and and install libraries with apt-get


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1
sudo apt-get install libldap-2.4-2
sudo apt-get install libsnmp35

I recommend you to install Zabbix 6.0 LTS, as Markku said.

Thank you, but none of those packages are available for installation. Currently I'm learning how to install Zabbix from the ground up and 5.0 LTS is the version of Zabbix we have installed on our machines. Are all of these packages unavailable? As far as I'm aware 5.0 LTS has and End of Life date of May 31, 2023.

To reiterate: I am not using 6.0 because we are using 5.0 LTS in a live environment. I can not simply upgrade the system to 6.0 LTS on my own.
Thank you again!

Sorry but I'm unable to reproduce your problems. I am able to successfully install Ubuntu 20.04, then mariadb-server and apache2, and finally Zabbix 5.0 server, with the instructions in https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabb...focal&db=mysql, with no dependency problems.

I did the usual full "apt upgrade" on the system before installing Zabbix.

Unfortunately I've started the process over repeatedly and I always end right here. Apt-get, aptitude, etc. I'm quite lost on why I'm having this problem.

[Markku]

sudo apt purge zabbix-server-mysql
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

What do you get?

Markku

[dcoan]

I was never able to install zabbix-server-mysql so it was not purged. I have done apt update/upgrade as well.

[Markku]

You have configured something incorrectly: jammy is the codename for 22.04.

So do you have 20.04 or 22.04?

We have a winner. I'm using 22.04.
