Found the problem...

I finally found the solution for this problem:

the PID variable in both the zabbix-server and zabbix-agent in the init.d directory had the wrong configuration. When I ran the stop or restart parameter, it could not find the zabbix-server.pid or zabbix-agent.pid files...

One down, one to go...

Zabbix Daemon Start Script

Hello,

In my case, running on Ubuntu Server 9.10, I had to modify the zabbix daemon start scripts for both the server and the agent. Here are the final variables line:

For the server:

Code:

NAME=zabbix_server
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/zabbix/bin
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/${NAME}
DESC="Zabbix server daemon"
PID=/tmp/$NAME.pid

For the agent:

Code:

NAME=zabbix_agentd
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/zabbix/bin
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/${NAME}
DESC="Zabbix agent daemon"
PID=/tmp/$NAME.pid

Cheers

hi, look your zabbix_serveur.conf

zabbix_serveur.conf :
/var/tmp/zabbix_server.pid

zabbix daemon start scripts:
PID=/tmp/zabbix_serveur.pid

differents..

Hello,
I was wondering if someone can help. I have my zabbix 1.8.2 installed on Debian. I am able to start the zabbix_agent but I cant start the zabbix_server

I have no errors on my zabbix_server.log.
I was thinking it may be permissions issue. Any idea?

this is my config for zabbix_agent is
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: zabbix-agent
# Required-Start: $local_fs $network
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# Short-Description: Start zabbix-agent daemon
### END INIT INFO
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd
NAME=zabbix_agentd
DESC="Zabbix agent"
PID=/var/run/zabbix-agent/$NAME.pid

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

case "$1" in
start)
rm -f $PID
echo "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
start-stop-daemon --oknodo --start --pidfile $PID \
--exec $DAEMON < /dev/null &> /dev/null
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --exec $DAEMON
;;
restart|force-reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0

and the config for my zabbix_server is:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: zabbix-server
# Required-Start: $local_fs $network
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# Short-Description: Start zabbix-server daemon
### END INIT INFO
NAME=zabbix_server
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server
DESC="zabbix server"
PID=/var/run/zabbix_server/$NAME.pid

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

case "$1" in
start)
rm -f $PID
echo "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
start-stop-daemon --oknodo --start --pidfile $PID \
--exec $DAEMON < /dev/null &> /dev/null
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --exec $DAEMON
;;
restart|force-reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0

not enough of the information

Show here more of yours messages!
What message do you have when you start your Zabbix?
Try to start your zabix_server manually ( without this script): /usr/bin/zabbix_server

Change this line
"--exec $DAEMON < /dev/null &> /dev/null" to "--exec $DAEMON" (for to see the messages )

courage!

ran into a similar problem with a db2 installation

i just sourced the db2profile or the instance owners profile when running the init.d script, i then vi the script and added this

. /home/db2inst1/.profile

works fine now.
