Service does not start: log is empty, mysql is OK, password is OK, permissions OK

[AndRec]

Hey guys, may anyone help me? My zabbix-server service is not starting properly. It was OK some days ago.

When I try to start it, there are no errors, but the "OK" doesn't appear and the service is indeed not started: "No process in pidfile '/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_server.pid' found running; none killed."
Things that I checked:
- mysql is running
- I can login on mysql using the username and password in zabbix_server.conf
- The zabbix user is the owner of /var/run/zabbix/
- /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log is empty (!)

I don't know what should I do now. I didn't change anything in the conf files and it was working fine. The log is empty so I'm not sure how to get more details about this. PS: I'm using Ubuntu.


Thanks.

I would suggest checking also with DebugLevel=4 and maybe /var/log/messages would tell something about service itself.
Also check if TCP port is not used when starting service.
Finally check if server can be run as a stand alone application, maybe there are some errors in the init script.

How you start the server ?

Have you tired "./zabbix_server -c /wheryouzabbixconfstored/zabbix_server.conf "
