Only PostgreSQL Available in Frontend PHP Configurator

[stephenb]

Hi

I installed Zabbix 2.0.3 from source on to an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. Backend appears to be fine. Connects correctly to backend mysql database which was selected when I ran ./configure with --with-mysql.

I copied the contents of <downloadDir>/zabbix-2.0.3/frontends/php to /var/www/zabbix

I can run http://localhost/zabbix/index.php.

On the "2. Check of pre-requisites" page, the PHP databases support is set to PosgreSQL. I need mysql. How can I change this?

Thanks in hope!

Well, you could give a try to these packages:

I'm using them, although I'm using PostgreSQL backend (I have not tried MySQL with these packages, but I guess you could try)

you must install php-mysql

Solution Found!

Thanks to soulhunter and ShadOw for your quick responses to my request for help.

I am not ready to give up on mysql yet.

I checked for the package php-mysql and found php5-mysql which I have installed (apt-get install php5-mysql). Then restarted apache2 (service apache2 restart). Then launched http://localhost/zabbix/index.php again. Web app now allows me to correctly configure mysql as my database choice and authenticates properly to the database.

Thanks once again for the swift assistance.

No problem!

I suggested you the packages, because these are maintained, and on update, you would get updates directly (instead of having to recompile).

And yes: those packages seems to support MySQL, but I prefer PostgreSQL.

I'm a Debian 12 user, and the installation wizard only had PostgreSQL listed.

This was the solution:

root@zabbix:~# apt install php8.2-mysql-pdo
root@zabbix:~# systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent2 apache2
