zabbix_agentd Not auto starting

[aderr]

I am pretty new to Zabbix, but have been able to get it deployed and monitoring about 75 hots successfully. It is a mix of RedHat and CentOS 5/6 servers.

I have encountered a problem where the zabbix_agentd service will not start up automatically at boot or on a restart.

I have tried all the ways that I know to make a service start at boot, but none seem to work.

[root@***** ~]# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc3.d | grep zabbix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    23 Jul 16 08:56 S55zabbix_agentd -> ../init.d/zabbix_agentd
[root@****** ~]# chkconfig --list | grep zabbix
zabbix_agentd   0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:on

I am running zabbix 2.0 server and agents.

I am not sure if I installed the agents correctly, but I can start them succesfully from just running

zabbix_agentd

and no errors come up.

What is the recommended way to start the zabbix agent daemon on boot/startup?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I use the supplied start/stop scripts. If you compiled the code, you will find them under ~/misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-agent and ~/misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-server

Copy the init.d scripts to the right place:
cp misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-server /etc/init.d
cp misc/init.d/debian/zabbix-agent /etc/init.d

Now set the correct permissions and set Zabbix to start when the machine boots:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix-server
sudo update-rc.d zabbix-server defaults
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent
sudo update-rc.d zabbix-agent defaults

Note that these scripts have the Zabbix daemon running out of :
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/${NAME}

Would that really work though tchjts1 because Centos is RHEL based not debian, I would think this would cause isuses?

I'm running Ubuntu for me a create a text file called Zabbix_agentd.conf in the /etc/init folder (not init.d)

Attached is the file
