Zabbix Server Is Not Running

[brian.brock]

Installing Zabbix 2.2.3 from source files on a fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

After all my installation steps are complete, the zabbix php front end reports that the server is not running. In terminal, if I type 'sudo service zabbix_server start', it returns "zabbix_server: unrecognized service". This also happens if I try to start service zabbix_agent.

The following are the steps I followed to install LAMP + Zabbix. Is anyone able to spot why my services aren't running, or even being recognized? Thank you for your assistance.

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install mysql-server
3. sudo apt-get install libmysqld-dev
4. sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
   • PHPMyAdmin has a defined set of dependencies, which will install most of what we need
5. sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
6. sudo apt-get install libsnmp-dev
7. sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
8. sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
   • post_max_size=16M
   • max_execution_time=300
   • max_input_time=300
   • date.timezone=America/Chicago
9. Create zabbix database and import schema.sql, images.sql, and data.sql
10. Create mysql user ‘zabbix’ and grant all privileges
11. ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --enable-ipv6 --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2
12. sudo make install
13. cd /var/www/
14. sudo mkdir zabbix
15. cd
16. cd Downloads/zabbix-2.2.3/frontends/php/
17. sudo cp -a . /var/www/zabbix
18. sudo chmod 777 /var/www/zabbix/conf
19. Web Browser: localhost/zabbix Follow on screen instructions (No Errors Here)

Please, don't be offended, if I ask you "Where is the commands to start zabbix-server and zabbix-agent daemons? Where is the command to change auto-start settings to start both daemons in the boot time?"

There tchjts described how he did it on Ubuntu server for Zabbix-server and Zabbix-agent daemons
