zabbix from RPM

[rstogsdill]

The last time I setup zabbix I built it from source following the documentation from the wiki. That "server" died on me. This time I decided to install from rpm. I downloaded the latest version and installed it with the package manager. Yum reports that it is installed, etc. The issue is... I cannot find the conf files. /etc/zabbix is empty and doing a locate zabbix.conf comes up blank. Where are these files located or how do I generate the conf files? Thanks in advance!

it sounds like you didn't install what you think you did. what does 'rpm -qa |grep zabbix' tell you? you want something similar this

# rpm -qa |grep zabbix | sort
zabbix20-2.0.6-1.el6.x86_64
zabbix20-agent-2.0.6-1.el6.x86_64
zabbix20-server-2.0.6-1.el6.x86_64
zabbix20-server-pgsql-2.0.6-1.el6.x86_64
zabbix20-web-2.0.6-1.el6.noarch
zabbix20-web-pgsql-2.0.6-1.el6.noarch

Where the config files are

# rpm -qlc zabbix20-server
/etc/logrotate.d/zabbix-server
/etc/zabbix/alertscripts
/etc/zabbix/externalscripts
/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
/etc/zabbix_server.conf

Here is the result from rpm -qa

zabbix-2.0.5-1el6.x86_64

This was installed by downloading the RPM from the website and running package manager.

I believe that package is only to install the repository. You will still need to install the server.

yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql
