I installed Zabbix over the weekend, and it was relatively straightforward.
There is just one thing that I can't resolve.
The server won't start.
No log file is created and all the agents are running fine, just no server, I have absolutely no idea where to go from here.
Edit:
I did a complete reinstall. I ran into the following issue
MySQL said it couldn't create ./zabbix/slideshows.frm
This was resolved when I used phpmyadmin to create the database and import the tables, I also don't have any init-scripts. I changed the default setting for connecting to the database from root, to a Zabbix user which has GRANT on the Zabbix database and changed the log file to /var/log/zabbix_server.log
The agentd log file is created as expected
Edit2:
I think I solved it
I ran zabbix_server -n 0
and I got "Converting tables ...... done."
Afterwards I ran zabbix_server and it showd up with "ps aux | grep"
When I open the fronted it says at the reports tab: "ZABBIX server is running Yes"
The next challenge would be to configure zabbix so it can replace tivoli
Unfortunately no server log file is created
Edit3:
Now when I try to run "./configure --enable-static --enable-server --enable-agent --with-pgsql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl", I get "checking whether libcurl is usable... no" and "configure: error: Not found Curl library", I read about changing and specifying the curlconfig directory changing settings in /usr/bin/curl-config. Didn't help. What are the detailed requirements when I want to successfully configure using with these settings?
Still: thanks for the great solution, I read a lot and I definitely love it
