zabbix_server 1.8.4 crashes/exits

[bdm56840]

I'm evaluating zabbix 1.8.4 on a CentOS x64 system.

I just completed the install using mysql and have just fired up the server and configured the web interface. I haven't added any hosts or changed any configuration yet. But I've found that the zabbix server has crashed or existed twice with in an hour.

The server log file contains the following on the last exit:

8431:20110306:023439.474 Zabbix Server stopped. Zabbix 1.8.4 (revision 16604).

Anything I can change in the configuration or update to make the server stay running?

thanks.

Got signal [signal:15(SIGTERM),sender_pid:8644,sender_uid:0

here it looks like somebody with root privileges has killed zabbix server process on purpose

Yes. that is strange, but I was the only one logged in and I don't believe I did that.

Anyhow I turned up the logging level and will post if I see it happen again.

thanks.
