Problem in zabbix-1.8.3 web based installation

[tahir.bhatti]

Hi, I am trying to install zabbix-1.8.3, I am facing two problems. Firstly, when I started installing zabbix by running the ./configure ..... comand, at the end it generate the following error and not allow me to run make

checking for -rdynamic linking option... yes
checking if Oracle support is enabled... no
checking for mysql_config... /usr/bin/mysql_config
checking for main in -lmysqlclient ... yes
checking for function PQserverVersion()... no
checking for Zabbix server database selection... ok
checking for multirow insert statements... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for gawk... (cached) gawk
checking for curl-config... /usr/bin/curl-config
checking for the version of libcurl... 7.12.1
checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... no
checking for net-snmp-config... no
configure: error: Invalid NET-SNMP directory - unable to find net-snmp-config

but when I check the net-snmp it was installed, as I received the result of the command rpm -qa | grep -i net-snmp

net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-utils-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
-------------------------------------------------

then I remove the --with-net-snmp from ./configure ..... command, so it complete and allow me to run make and make install.

But when I copied the php folder at /var/www/html and try to access it in the browser, it give no output just a blank white web page.

Apache is running .....

So I tried my level best to discribe my problem, can any one help me how to resole this problem.

How did you copy the files?

Can you please check if PHP is installed and supported within apache?
Also check access-rights on the files inside /var/www/html/

Also, which distribution are you using?

Thanks for your reply but sorry I was away from my system.

I just copied the php folder to /var/ww/html by using cp command

------------------------------------------------------------------
PHP is installed and an other php based application is already running.
[root@nocsys11 html]# rpm -qa | grep -i php
php-mysql-4.3.9-3.15
php-ldap-4.3.9-3.15
php-pear-4.3.9-3.15
php-4.3.9-3.15

[root@nocsys11 html]# ls -la

First, why are you running RHEL 4u4?

Second, you don't want to copy the php-folder to /var/www/html/, you want to copy the contents of the php-folder to /var/www/html/

Third, change the ownership of your files to something else than root. Best is to change them to your apache user (or zabbix user).

Fourth, which php app *is* working for you?

Fifth, if it all won't work, please create a file in /var/www/html/ called test.php and put <?php phpinfo(); ?> into this file. Than show us the output when you browse to http://<yourserver>/test.php

Good luck!

There is no special reason in using RHEL 4u4, if zabbix-1.8 creats problems with this then I can switch to RHEL-5 if you suggest.

Secondly, as per previous versions of zabbix, it is necessary to copy the complete php directory at /var/www/html/

I also change the ownership of php directory to zabbix user but no chnage took place.

syslog-ng is working at the same place /var/www/html.

I have attached the out put of test.php as per your instruction in zip formate.
