Zabbix Install Help

[cardanid]

Hi, I am very new to Zabbix and the opensource world.

I am trying to install Zabbix v3.4.3 Server into /apps instead of all the default locations. I have a few questions. Do to sever limits and company requirements, all application software should be installed in /apps. Using default Zabbix install directories will not work.

1) To do this, I have to use the source (*.tar.gz) file instead of the RPM correct?
2) When using the source file for install, the configure command fails at:
checking for mysql_config... no
configure: error: MySQL library not found

Command used: /apps/vision/zabbix-server] # ./configure --prefix=/apps/vision/zabbix --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --enable-java --enable-ipv6 --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2

I have mqsql already up and running on a different server with all the Zabbix requirements already complete. What am I missing on Zabbix Server host to get the install to work from the source?

Also I have Zabbix already up and running via the rpm's, I am not having this issue and I can correct to the MySQL DB on the remote server.

Zabbix will not be running as root, I have a account ID that Zabbix server will run under.

yum list all |grep -i zabbix

Working but....

Ok, I was missing a few dependencies that were needed on my newly built VM.

I have Zabbix running from the source package and I have agents connecting. Now when I try to update the main dashboards widgets, The Edit widget comes up and just hangs.

any thoughts?
