you might want to install the mysql components

Code:

yum install mysql-devel php-mysql

**HullZabbix** · 28-09-2011, 17:21

On centos 5.4 in needed to install the follow dependencies for:

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl

yum install zlib-devel mysql-devel glibc-devel curl-devel gcc automake mysql-server libidn-devel openssl-devel net-snmp-devel rpm-devel OpenIPMI-devel php-mysql php-gd php-bcmath php-mbstring php-xml

Zabbix installation problem on Linux Centos 5.7

Hello all,

Thank you for your resposes and help. I did all step by step from this page http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/ins.../centosinstall until here where I get command not found message;

(checkinstall

After make has compiled we won't be using make install, but checkinstall which gives us the option to first make a RPM out of the installation and than install it. This gives us the advantage to be able to deinstall Zabbix again with rpm. Because checkinstall also isn't on the CentOS Repo we will download it using wget to our home directory. )

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh checkinstall-1.6.0-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm
warning: checkinstall-1.6.0-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6

The checkinstall procedure is only optional, the package itself is 5 years old and not supported by CentOS nor RH... I suggest you to manual install Zabbix with the usual "make install" instead than trying to make it works.

Or upgrade to CentOS 6 and use the EPEL rpms

Zabbix installation problem on Linux Centos 5.7

Thank you for your responses. I don't know why this gets so complicated and I am very frustrated. Can any one tell me step by step to successfully install zabbix on a Centos 5.7 32bit? I have tried so many variations from zabbix manual with no success. I even tried with some automated script from here http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthre...install+zabbix and was not able to install zabbix. Could you please let me know how to install this application. Thank you again.

**NicoZanferrari** · 04-10-2011, 21:23

Well, don't surrender - it's not so difficult!
Just follow the link I've wrote before (but do a "make install" instead than checkinstall which could fail easily). I'm using that procedure since CentOS 5.4 to 6.0.

Enjoy

My crib notes from installing on Centos 5.6

Code:

yum install php php-bcmath php-gd php-mbstring php-xml php-ldap openssl-devel  mysql-devel php-mysql mysql-server  curl-devel net-snmp net-snmp-devel gcc iksemel  iksemel-devel fping  OpenIPMI OpenIPMI-devel OpenIPMI-tools

./configure  --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-jabber --with-openipmi 

make install

This worked on 5.6 to 6.0

**NicoZanferrari** · 05-10-2011, 22:18

Hi, I think you should read instructions more careful. The installation process could be done in three ways:

1. use the EPEL rpm on CentOS 6. And then edit the config files.
2. do a manual compilation, run a 'make install' and then edit the config files.
3. do a manual compilation, run a 'checkinstall' in order to obtain the rpm, install the rpm and then edit the config files.

Do not mix these procedure! In the last post it seems that you've run a 'make install' and you complain that you've not obtained a rpm

Zabbix installation problem on Linux Centos 6.0

Hello all and thank you for all your support.

I finally managed to install zabbix successfully. I have few questions. 1- How can I access the zabbix from another computer using Firefox browser? When I put the IP address of the computer which has Zabbix installed, in this case 192.168.0.100 I get connection time out error. (The connection has timed out. The server at 192.168.0.100 is taking too long to respond.) 2- When I access the zabbix frontend server from the linux server that I have actually installed zabbix by using Firefox, it prompts me for user login and password. At the bottom right hand corner of the browser, it says connected as 'guest'. When I put the user login and password I get error message saying user name or password is incorrect. I used the database name and password for the database to login. Would thid be correct. But when I click hyperlinks such as Monitoring Inventory Report and their sub menu, I can access them without log in.

Thank you again

**HullZabbix** · 06-10-2011, 09:34

Make sure your accessing the correct url.

It depends where you installed the front end files.

Have you tried: http://192.168.0.100/zabbix/

Our frontend files are located in /var/www/html/zabbix/php
So we browse to http://servername/zabbix/php

**Zaniwoop** · 06-10-2011, 10:12

the defaults for logging into the GUI are
user: admin
password: zabbix

Is the firewall on the server perhaps not blocking you?

apache should at least give you a default screen if there isn't anything installed on the default folder.

Zabbix installation problem on Linux Centos 6.0

Thank you. I can log in using with admin user and zabbix for password. The files are located in /var/www/html/zabbix. I am still not be able to access the server from another computer within the same lan. I have tried IP address 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.100/zabbix through Firefox browser but no success. SELinux is disabled also. I changed the localhost to IP address of the server in the zabbix.conf.php which is in the conf folder, $DB["SERVER"] = '192.168.0.100';. and that did not help. Infact I could not access the zabbix on the linux box where the zabbix installed either and I had to change it back to localhost again.

<?php
// Zabbix GUI configuration file
global $DB;

$DB["TYPE"] = 'MYSQL';
$DB["SERVER"] = 'localhost';
$DB["PORT"] = '0';
$DB["DATABASE"] = 'zabbix';
$DB["USER"] = 'zabbix';
$DB["PASSWORD"] = 'zabbix';
// SCHEMA is relevant only for IBM_DB2 database
$DB["SCHEMA"] = '';

$ZBX_SERVER = 'localhost';
$ZBX_SERVER_PORT = '10051';
$ZBX_SERVER_NAME = '';

$IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT = IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG;

Could you tell me what am I missing here?
