In that case, it looks like you have a configuration issue in the zabbix_server.conf configuration file.

You can use a pager like less, and get it to show line numbers by doing the following:-

Code:

less -N /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

This will give you line numbers down the left hand side.

You need to scroll down until you see line 73.

Can you then copy and paste that line, and a few lines before and above it?

Can you try deleting line 73, that doesnt look like it needs to be there:-

Code:

73 st=localhost

Try deleting that, and then start Zabbix Server again

Code:

systemctl start zabbix-server.service

**Atsushi** · 29-03-2017, 15:21

There is an error in line 73.
Can you delete the following line on line 73?

st=localhost

Still not able to get the services running, I will try one more thing if not I will just use prtg. Zabbix requires someone with good Linux background which is something that I seriously lack.

So, that should mean that it has started?

In another terminal, can you do

Code:

ps auxfw | grep -i zabbix

and see if the zabbix service is running?

That looks like it is running to me!

Did you set up a web server as part of the tutorial? If so, I would have a go at connecting to the web interface.

You could look at the log file for Zabbix Server, as it does look like its running...so should be logging now.

Its one thing after another, I was able to login to the web interface here is what I get for DB config

Error connecting to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

There will be a section in the zabbix server config file for "### Option: DBHost".

Can you check the options there are correct?

Did you set up the database correctly, and copy in the database schema / images as part of the tutorial?

Also, is the database (presume MySQL) running??

**toine7m** · 29-03-2017, 16:05

Check your /etc/my.cnf and your zabbix config about DB

Try to do this and check if your DB is running : mysqladmin -u root -p status
