Problems with creating a map

[tazzu]

Hi Guys,

i just installed zabbix an i wonder how big the funktionally is. First i am sorry for my bad english but i hope you can understand me

I have some Problems by building a map. When i try to add an element so i cant choose any icons. By this is an mandatory field i cant create any element. On different faq i see that the guys selectet icons with names like "router" "firewall" or something else... I cant choose any of this icons. My select box i completly clear.

My second question is how i can build my own background. Where must i place the picture and what format i have to choose?

I hope someone here can help me

Regards

Tazzu

When loading the database schema/default data, did you load zabbix-<version>/create/data/images.sql into your database ?

My second question is how i can build my own background. Where must i place the picture and what format i have to choose?

Configuration > General then choose Images in the dropdown list. You can upload new images.

Images are stored in blob fields in "Images" table.

I think so !

when i try to load again i get

zabbix@linux:~/zabbix/create/mysql> mysql -u root -p zabbix < schema.sql
Enter password:
ERROR 1050 at line 25: Table 'services' already exists
zabbix@linux:~/zabbix/create/mysql>

When installing, you have to load/execute three SQL scripts (script names here are for mysql):
- create/data/data.sql
- create/data/images.sql
- create/mysql/schema.sql

Did you load all three ?

I forget to load create/data/images.sql in my database

Thank you Calimero

You've already loaded the script once. If you really want to restart from scratch drop all the tables (or even drop the database and recreate it).
