Installing Zabbix and Postgres on same server

[jeffkelly]

Hello,

I'm installing Zabbix and PostgreSQL on the same computer. Below is an excerpt from JohnUSA's Ubuntu installation procedure. Questions follow.

nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Make sure that the Server parameter points to the server address, for the agent that runs on the server it is like this: Server=127.0.0.1 change to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
AND REMOVE # from ListenIP=127.0.0.1 AND CHANGE IT to ListenIP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
REMOVE # from ListenIP=127.0.0.1 AND CHANGE IT to ListenIP=10.20.10.239

Questions

1. In zabbix_agentd.conf, is "server=" 127.0.0.1 or the server address (192.168.1.20)?
2. 2. In zabbix_agentd.conf, is ListenIP 127.0.0.1 or the server address (192.168.1.20)?
3. In zabbix_server.conf, is the ListenIP address 127.0.0.1 or the server address (192.168.1.20)?

make sure the ip in zabbix agent daemon config file matches the one set for that host in the frontend - by default, 127.0.0.1.
in most cases you should not change listenip directives in either config file.

Please forgive the ignorance, but I don't know what "frontend" means.

Here's what I did. Can you confirm it is right or make necessary corrections?

• In zabbix_agentd.conf: server = 192.168.1.20.
• In zabbix_agentd.conf: ListenIP is commented.
• In zabbix_server.conf: ListenIP address is commented.

I got V1.8 to work but am having an fsock error as reported by others. So, the server is offline.

'frontend' means GUI interface of Zabbix, where you configure and monitor hosts. You may leave all values as they were (127.0.0.1) or change 'server' to 192.168.1.20. In last case make sure that you've changed ip address of 'Zabbix server' in GUI.
