Zabbix 1.1. won't run (Centos 4.3)

[iMerlin]

Just followed the Install guide, compiled from the source but zabbix_server won't run.

It won't debug or log anything, it just dies...

strace shows at the bottom:

Looks like it's having problem with setuid but I can't see anything wrong with the user...

Followup:

Syslog wasn't working, thats why I couldn't see any debug information.

However the file log revealed the problem.

The reason why it was shutting down was that the mysql socket wasn't running and it was set by my config.
