Zabbix server is running :No

[funkytwig]

I am new to Zabbix so installed agent and server on same machine to play with it. all seemed to go well, can logion the we interface but it says

Zabbix server is running :No

server and agent seems to be running

root@sun:~# service zabbix-server start
start: Job is already running: zabbix-server
root@sun:~# service zabbix-agent start
start: Job is already running: zabbix-agent

ps aux | grep zabb gives me

zabbix 1033 0.0 0.0 88656 2048 ? S 20:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

root 1894 0.0 0.0 11756 2148 pts/1 S+ 20:35 0:00 grep --color=auto zabb

In zabbix_agentd.conf I have

Server=127.0.0.1
ServerActive=127.0.0.1
Hostname=sun.prsc.org.uk

(the Hostname is not a internet facing one, just a label for the server)

zabbix.conf.php

<?php
// Zabbix GUI configuration file
global $DB;

$DB['TYPE'] = 'MYSQL';
$DB['SERVER'] = 'localhost';
$DB['PORT'] = '0';
$DB['DATABASE'] = 'zabbix';
$DB['USER'] = 'zabbix';
$DB['PASSWORD'] = 'mysql_password';

// SCHEMA is relevant only for IBM_DB2 database
$DB['SCHEMA'] = '';

$ZBX_SERVER = 'localhost';
$ZBX_SERVER_PORT = '10051';
$ZBX_SERVER_NAME = '';

$IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT = IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG;
?>
~

(mysql_password is the actual password)

zabbix_server.conf

zabbix_server.conf is the same as above.

I installed from the Ubuntu 14.04 repositories.

What have I done wrong.

Hi funkytwig,

Can you show me what your zabbix server log shows?

tail /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log -n 15

And have you checked your SElinux settings?

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1
setsebool -P httpd_can_connect_zabbix=1
getsebool -a | grep zabbix
setsebool -P zabbix_can_network=1
