I have this problem. The system seems to pass the tests you are saying to try. I am a newbie. The rc status says the server is on, the grep command returns a 0. However the reports say the server is off, and 2 Windows pc's have an error in the logs about unable to reach the server. I would like to use Zabbix, but it has been a challenge so far, should it be this hard? Thanks in advance for the help.

Is it that what you mean?
Yes, if you can't find zabbix_server when you run ps(1) on the command line, that would explain why the Web-GUI thinks the server is not running.
I can only give you general advice, because everyone's setup is different. I've never touched Gentoo (afaik :-) and don't know about their specifics.
First make sure that your ps(1) works from the command line.
Then make sure that ps(1) also works when called from the GUI (ie, running as a sub-process of your web server, which is usually apache)
If these two conditions are met, Zabbix should appear as running in the GUI.
