    Nodes issues: Unable to select configuration

    I have converted the db to include nodes using the following:

    For the central node

    ./zabbix_server -n 1 -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
    For the child node

    ./zabbix_server -n 2 -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
    Converting tables completed on both.

    On central node I created a child node using Administration-->Nodes-->New Node

    When I select this node (Or do anything in Nodes) this message appears "Unable to select configuration". How can I fix this?

    Thank you,

      Ok, after a deeper investigation I think I found the reason for "Unable to Select Configuration" error, it was because zabbix-server on Node 4 when I restarted it, could not bind to port 10051 according to the logs

      Code:
       27082:20081201:194349 Listener failed with error: Cannot bind to port 10051 for server [ANY]. Error [Address already in use]. Another zabbix_agentd already running ?.
       26946:20081201:194351 ZABBIX Server stopped. ZABBIX 1.6.1.
      So what I did was stopping the zabbix-agent, starting zabbix-server and then starting zabbix-agent.

      Hope someone will find it useful.

        Your last error message means that there is already something listening on that port (probably a zabbix daemon).
        When you restart your zabbix daemon, it takes a while before the old instance is really dead, the default restart scripts do not see this, so you will now and then get a conflict with the old running instance.
