It is strange because I had another box where there was no problem

I cannot open the zabbix install site if I comment the config file

This is what I'd expect to happen when a CGI version of PHP is used instead of the apache module, so php_value isn't a known directive. You could catch this by putting the settings in a <IfModule> block, but that would silently ignore them if the apache module isn't used which could be problematic. Personally, I prefer to get a warning. PHP supports .user.ini files since v5.3.0, so if these shouldn't (or can't) be set globally, they can be commented out like you did and put in a .user.ini in the document root (using php.ini and not php_value syntax of course).

Solution:

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo apt-get install php5-pgsql php5-suhosin

or mysql what do you need

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

apache2ctl -M to check if php module is loaded, if not restart apache2

sudo apt-get install zabbix-frontend-php

no issue this time

Thanks all your help
