Installation problems with Fedora Core 5

[aford]

im having the worst of luch installing this server on Fedora Core 5. I noticed theres nothing is the services for Zabbix nethier is there a folder for Zabbix in the etc folder, I installed many times where did i go wrong at.

[ZABBIX@Fedora /]$ /etc/inetd.conf
-bash: /etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory

also when I run
shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp

it tells me no snmp support, but i know that i have it.

when i run

shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmpd
(It works)

[aford]

Install looks like this

[root@Fedora zabbix]# ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql
--with-net-snmpd

you probably don't have /etc/inetd.conf instead you have /etc/xinetd.conf

Also...make sure to install net-snmp from RPM rather than building it from source.

try rpm -qa | grep snmp to see if you have net-snmp installed.

Thanks Ambex
I have /etc/xinetd.conf and etc/init.d If there simuliar

I dont quit understand what that means, how do i fix this.. also i dont see the service even installed, let alone running.
I do have the snmp installed now so thats working good. I should be able to see the Zabbix in the GUI services screen right?

Thanks again for your help

I'm also running my Zabbix server on Fedora Core 5. If you do 'make install', it should put the four .conf files in /etc/zabbix. If not, copy them from misc/conf/ in Zabbix's install directory. You may need to
chown -R zabbix.zabbix /etc/zabbix
if you've set up Zabbix to run as its own user (and you SHOULD).

I don't recommend using xinetd on Red Hat/Fedora. I took one of the startup scripts Zabbix came with, misc/init.d/redhat/8.0/zabbix_agentd , and modified the lines

progdir="/usr/local/bin/"
prog="zabbix_agentd"

in one file, and of course prog="zabbix_server" in the other. Save the file as zabbix_agentd and zabbix_server in /etc/init.d. Then make sure to make them executable by root
chmod 700 zabbix_*

Then run the following:

chkconfig --add zabbix_agentd
chkconfig zabbix_agentd on
service zabbix_agentd start
chkconfig --add zabbix_server
chkconfig zabbix_server on
service zabbix_server start

I'm sorry I don't recall which snmp package I got. try
yum search snmp and see what it returns.

[just2blue4u]

you must have the net-snmp-devel RPM . then everything should work...

[lordiceman]

don't do that

why to install such a hard way? just run
yum install zabbix*
and godlike yum will install everything for you 8-)
