RHEL 5 not working

Hello again!! I followed CentOS instructions for RHEL 5, and everything seems to be OK, MySQL, the conf file, etc... the server log shows the same as the log of CentOS , but the RHEL server is not working, I can see it in the report Screen.

but the RHEL server is not working, I can see it in the report Screen.

not sure what you mean about this. I assume you can login to the web page? If so, did you add the server as a host and either choose a template or create some items? If so, do you see any values for the server under "Latest Values"?

More data

Well, I can monitorize the server as a host, it seems to work, it's sending data to server, everything seems to be allright, but the Reports window(on the application) shows that the server is not running.
I add one screenshot and the server log.
Thank you!!!

Here's a question that might help clarify installation for some: Once Zabbix is installed via yum, do any configuration files need to be modified (either on the server, or on the clients being monitored).

I still have not played around enough to understand all the changes needed, so this answer will help me as well.

You must at least set the server address on the client and you want also set set client's hostname for active checks. There are no modifications done on the default config files in packages from EPEL (only paths to log and pid files).
