Connection to MySQL error when using Oracle database

[wanderson]

We are using Fedora 16 with an Oracle back-end and Zabbix 1.8.8.
Currently, the web front end is stating 'Zabbix Server is running' = 'No'
Upon reviewing the zabbix_server.log file. it is stating :

[Z3001] connection to database 'fcmonitor' failed: [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

What controls Zabbix and the type of database it's trying to connect to or why would it be trying to connect to a MySql database?

I know the zabbix.conf.php is strictly for the web front end and that states Oracle as the database type.

Thanks!

Refer to the server process in the documentation for modifying server config:
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/.../zabbix_server

you will need to compile the server for oracle support
Example:
# for Oracle + Jabber + WEB monitoring
shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-oracle --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl
