Zabbix_server does not start

[malik]

Hello,

I search help,

I installed a new zabbix server, but it not starting.

#/etc/init.d/zabbix_server start
#Starting zabbix_server: Usage: /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server {start|stop|restart|condrestart}

And the service not running.
Have you a solution for this problem ?

In "/usr/local/sbin/", I copied the "zabbix_server" file from file .tar.gz (/zabbix-1.8.11/misc/init.d/redhat/8.0/zabbix_server)
The acces are in "chmod 755"

Thank you for your help,

Malik.

What do you see in zabbix_server.log file?

[HullZabbix]

I'm not 100% certain but in my build document I have:
(within the zabbix extract folder)
cp misc/init.d/redhat/8.0/zabbix_* /etc/init.d/

so it's copying to /etc/init.d/ not usr/local/sbin

then with nano i edit /etc/init.d/zabbix_server
to include the line:
progdir=”/usr/local/sbin/”
Do the exactly the same with zabbix_agentd.

Then add the services:
chkconfig --add zabbix_server
chkconfig --add zabbix_agentd

Set to start at run level 3,4,5
chkconfig --level 345 zabbix_server on
chkconfig --level 345 zabbix_agentd on

Then set the permission on the scripts
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix_server
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd

and how the compilation of zabbix went?

[malik]

Hello,

I'm sorry, I did not have acces on Zabbix since the last week.

In the zabbix_server.log, nothing.

For the compilation, not error.

I retry with instructions of AxidaZabbix, but when I restart the zabbix_server, I have "#Starting zabbix_server: Usage: /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server {start|stop|restart|condrestart}" always.

I do restart the compilation of zabbix ?

[HullZabbix]

Just to be clear, you're in a console windows and you type:

service zabbix_server start

Then you get:
"#Starting zabbix_server: Usage: /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server {start|stop|restart|condrestart}"

[malik]

yes exactly.
I use "putty" for the connection on zabbix server

[malik]

I retried the compilation of zabbix.
I used your instructions for zabbix_server and now, it's OK
Thank you for your help.
My problem is resolved.

Best regards,

Malik.
