Zabbix server is not running

[aniltonf]

Hi... I've just installed zabbix 2.4 and everything seams good, except I'm constantly receiving the message error on the browser says that "ZABBIX SERVER IS NOT RENNING: THE INFORMATION DISPLAYED MAY NOT BE CORRECT".

When I get into Administration->Queue... I get...

connection to Zabbix server "localhost" failed. Possible reasons:
1. incorrect server IP/DNS in the "zabbix.conf.php";
2. incorrect DNS server configuration.
Permission denied


...

I'm using RHEL 6, x86_64. The zabbix_server is running...

If anybody can help, It would be great

THANK YOU

RE: Zabbix server is not running

You may have already solved this by now, but I disabled SELinux to work around this exact problem. My environment is CentOS 7 with zabbix 2.4.4:

[root@hostname /]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1
[root@hostname /]# zabbix_server --version
Zabbix server v2.4.4 (revision 52341) (23 February 2015)
Compilation time: Feb 25 2015 01:56:05

Here are the commands I used ...

[root@hostname /]# getenforce
Enabled
[root@hostname /]# vi /etc/selinux/config # changed SELINUX=disabled
[root@hostname /]# reboot
...
[root@hostname /]# getenforce
Disabled
[root@hostname /]#

Other notes ... I happen to be using the static ip of the zabbix server for the $ZBX_SERVER setting in /etc/zabbix/web/zabbix.conf.php. I'm not yet sure if this matters.

RE: Zabbix server is not running

I changed the ZBX_SERVER setting back to the dns hostname and zabbix via http worked fine.

CAVEAT ... I recommend other users to further investigate SELinux and how to not disable it completely yet still get zabbix and httpd to work together. My requirements do not justify the time expenditure for this task
