Zabbix Appliance Install: IP address not obtained, Zabbix not accessible.

[jpull]

Hi,
I am trying to install the Zabbix appliance for the first time. I have worked with VMs and Linux before, but am a bit limited/rusty at both.

I have tried both VirtualBox and VMware Player. I can boot the VM and get the login prompt, but once I log in, I receive the following error.

eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

lspci -vv | grep Ethernet
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)

I tried changing all of the Network Adapter Settings in the VM Settings, but no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What does 'ifconfig -a' output?

[jpull]

Please see attached for ipconfig -a.
Let me know if you need any more information.

same problem, and can't find clue...

Two things you may look at.
1. Make sure you have a nic card assigned to the server in VMWare.
2. Go in to YAST/Network Devices/Network Settings and set up your IP address, Default Gateway and Subnet Mask

You will also have to go in to /etc/apache2/conf.d/zabbix.conf and tell it which IP ranges you will allow to have web access as seen below:

<Directory "/usr/share/zabbix/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.4
Require all granted
Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from 192.168.0.0/16
Allow from 10.0.0.0/8
Allow from 172.0.0.0/8
Allow from ::1
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.2
Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from 192.168.0.0/16
Allow from 10.0.0.0/8
Allow from 172.0.0.0/8
Allow from ::1
</IfModule>
</Directory>

I think this is just for information. You should be able to change the script to use your ethernet adapter device (enp0s18) in place of eth0.
