Hi all,
Am trying to install Zabbix 1.8 from the source and using XAMPP. After several attempt, I finally managed to get it going.
So far, I was able to get the zabbix_server and zabbix_agent running.
From the document, it is very vague whether after doing a make install it will create the Zabbix conf file. Apparently it didn't so I copied all the .conf files that comes with the source and copied them to /etc
My first problem is there is no "simple" instruction on what to setup as a minimum on either the zabbix_server.conf or zabbix_agent.conf file so not really sure what to configure as a minimum, can someone please advise on this? That is, am only interested on what are the minimum configuration settings that I need to set just to get Zabbix working
The second problem is the Zabbix web interface, again, am I supposed to copy the whole frontends directory to wherever is my htdocs is?
Last problem, the Zabbix database user, does it get created automatically? There is a note to create the Zabbix UNIX user, which I did but there is no mention on how to create the Zabbix database user? Also the manual did not mention anything about what should be the permissions, group etc of the Zabbix UNIX account, does this matter?
Any help or feedback will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
