can't get 1.8.3 to install

[johnw230873]

I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.4
Problem is that I can't get 1.8.3 to Make Install correctly

I have configured the package correctly and it tells me to Make Install but when I make install it doesn't pop up any errors but when it is finishes it hasn't install Zabbix anywhere.

Any idea where I am going worng here as for once I have followed a manually

[badener]

some more information would be helpful:
* parameters of configure
* output of make install

and also you should check the config.log for errors

I followed the online mannual and installed mysql
downloaded all the required headers and libs (went with mysql)
Downlaoded and installed mysql5 server

In the manual I didn't do anything for section 4.2, I read this as a FYI section.

Created a folder called home/tmp
Download the latest Bins 1.8.3 from the Zabbix web site to this folder
Using the package expander in Ubuntu I uncompressed the bins into the tmp folder.

I ran th my sql sripting in Step 3 of 4.3 without any issues

I run this config command for step 4
./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl

I didn't get any errors and and the end of the configure it said run Make install

for step 5 I ran
make install

Everything seemed ok but nothing installed ??



I didn't get an output at the end of the Install, are you after the output during the "make Install"?


I'll head off now and check the config.log for errors

There heaps of errors in the Config.log file, as said newbie to this so I didn't know about the file, thanks badener for the suggestion.

I have loaded the config.log.

Question: Do I need to manually create the directories first?

[johnw230873]

I can't seem to find th eissue here and I have had someone else look at it as well that uses Linux now and then, we both can't work it out.

After I do a install I can see some folders being created eg Zabbix_server is created in /usr/loca/sbin/zabbix_server but I don't see the zabbix folder being created in /etc/

[badener]

that sounds quiet good - if zabbix_server is in /usr/local/sbin you're definitely ogoing in the right direction
as for /etc/zabbix, zabbix doesn't create that directory on install, so you have to do that yourself
you also have to create your own start/stop script for /etc/init.d
I attach a tgz with some of my files as examples, but be careful - I use different paths as I usually have zabbix installed into /opt/zabbix and not under /usr/local

Thanks badener, I was wondering if that was the case but as I didn't see anything in the document around this area I thought I mush of had it wrong.

Currently I'm working with the VMDk.

Yes gave up for now but I will give it another go now I know I need to create my own config
