Can anyone tell where I should make changes? I am totally new to this and haven't used linux in years so severely rusty.

Cheers,

How did you install and initialize?
For example, have you set DBPassword in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf?

Please check the contents of the log file.
The cause that can not be activated should be output.

I followed these instructions http://yallalabs.com/linux/how-to-in...ntos-7-rhel-7/

where is the log located?

Hi,

by default all Zabbix logs are located at /var/log/zabbix
