zabbix frontend - fresh install

[alberte]

so i followed the instructions listed here

http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/ins.../centosinstall

and got stuck on the frontend part.

it basically wants me to use the localhost address but i dont have any browsers installed. it wont let me access the frontend from my workstation.

how do i workaround this so that i can access the frontend from my pc, please advise.

is it the firewall?

maybe the firewall is blocking it, i dont have a gui interface so its tough for me to manage..

[alberte]

ok figured it out, sort of...

it is the firewall

when i stop the iptables service it works fine.

i tried this but it didnt work

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
