Zabbix 1.6.5 server not running

[kkoon]

Hi

I've updated my zabbix server to version 1.6.5 and after that the status of the zabbix server is shown as not running.

Is this a bug and if so, how do we resolve it?

I've modified the config.inc.php from
if(!$checkport)
{
clear_messages();
$status['zabbix_server'] = S_NO;
}
else {
$status['zabbix_server'] = S_YES;
}

to

if(!$checkport) {
clear_messages();
$status['zabbix_server'] = S_YES;
}
else {
$status['zabbix_server'] = S_NO;
}

and login to the frontend and able to see the status running as Yes. But when i stop the zabbix_server process, it still display as yes. So does it mean that it is not querying on the process zabbix_server?

How do i go about resolving this?

Thanks! It works!

But the strange thing is why can't it take in localhost as $ZBX_SERVER. I need to put in the exact ip of the host in this field in zabbix.conf.php file for it to work.

My other zabbix server in 1.6.4 is able to put in localhost in that field and startup nicely.
