Zabbix 1.8 from sources: http://localhost/zabbix - 404 Not Found

[maz]

Hi,

I am running Fedora 12 and I had the web interface showing but not working previously with the RPM versions 1.6.6 and PHP 5.3 Yep, showing up (no 404) but not working - lots of errors. Here is a bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542633

Now I removed the Zabbix RPMs and made a small note of the procedures I performed:

wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/zabbix/ZABBIX%20Latest%20Stable/1.8/zabbix-1.8.tar.gz

wget ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/fedora/updates/12/x86_64/postgresql-devel-8.4.2-1.fc12.i686.rpm
rpm -Uvh ^

create database and schema:
  shell> psql -U <username>
  psql> create database zabbix; 
  psql> \q 
  shell> cd <src_dir>/create/schema 
  shell> cat postgresql.sql | psql -U <username> zabbix 
  shell> cd ../data 
  shell> cat data.sql | psql -U <username> zabbix
  shell> cat images_pgsql.sql | psql -U <username> zabbix


vim /etc/php.ini
  post_max_size = 32M
  memory_limit = 256M

yum install php-xml iksemel-devel net-snmp-devel

./configure --enable-server --with-pgsql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl # for PostgreSQL  + Jabber + WEB monitoring

make install

vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Now I cannot access the zabbix web front-end or what should you call it?
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

hi,

in the sourcepackage look for a folder frontends/php, and copy this one to any location which you can access as a webpage (/var/www, /srv/wahtever, /usr/local/httpd). check apache2 config for that, or of course create a new webpage and edit apache2 config for that.

good luck,
sven

Thanks svenw, problem solved.

Actually I solved this myself after googling and debugging yesterday, I also posted here a reply but it seems to have disappeared.

But, now we can wonder why the Zabbix 1.8 manual is missing the instructions for copying the frontend manually? Or am I just too blind too see? Maybe it is considered too obvious? I am a noobie zabbix user.
