First time installation on Debian 12

[bowlsys]

Using Zabbix instructions to install Zabbix I get ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) after a successful apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-agent. I am a complete noob to Zabbix and equally to Linux.
Any help really appreciated.
Thanks

I think you need to install MariaDB (MySQL) separately.

sudo apt install mariadb-server

Hello bowlsys,
as etfz said, which database you picked up for your setup? It looks like database is down or not installed

Very many thanks for your advice, I have managed to move on considerably.
I can now open the web page but I am getting an error saying Locale for language "en_US" is not found on the web server.

Any ideas?

Hi
Try using locale-gen to generate the locale. Then, restart web server.

sudo systemctl restart apache2
