Log File

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??

I am not very familiar with setting up databases in this environment at I least I think I have it setup.

It's all a learning experience! I was definitely in the same situation when I first started, so know how you feel.

All I can say is..... enjoy Zabbix
