"Zabbix server is not running" Error on Centos 6.5

[FaintDeftone]

Hey guys,

I'm new to Zabbix and Linux and I'm currently trying to build a server for my job so we can use Zabbix to monitor our network.

I installed CentOS 6.5 on a new server and went through the steps to install Zabbix.

This is the tutorial I used to install it.

Everything went without a hitch for the most part, but every time I log into the Zabbix front end I always get the message "Zabbix server is not running: the information displayed may not be current".

I noticed another thread below that had the same issue but I followed everything there and couldn't resolve it.

So far I have disabled SElinux, double checked the database issue in the Zabbix config file, made sure httpd, mysql, and zabbix-server services are all running, and ran the setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on command. No luck.

Any other suggestions on what the problem could be? Any help would be appreciated. Again, I am a newbie at this so even stupid, obvious suggestions could help.

Here is the info from the Zabbix log file:

1. Database is down. Reconnecting in 10 seconds.

2. connection to database 'zabbix' failed: [1045] Access denied for user 'zabbix'@'localhost' (using password: NO)


I understand that You are new to zabbix. But You pasted log without reading it i think.

[FaintDeftone]

I got it to work. Thanks anyways.

I read the log. The solution didn't have anything to do with database credentials. I had to move some files around in order for the server portion to kick in.

[quejinho]

Please paste here what did You do there.

Hi All,
i had the same problem after fresh install. i have modified SELinux rules to fix the issue.
[root@zabbix ~]# getsebool httpd_can_network_connect
httpd_can_network_connect --> off
[root@zabbix ~]# setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
[root@zabbix ~]# getsebool httpd_can_network_connect
httpd_can_network_connect --> on


below is the link i used.

Worked great!

I had my Zabbix Server not connecting. Your solution worked.

Ran setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
Ran getsebool httpd_can_network_connect

Access Denied for User

Hi All,

I'm also new to Zabbix, however, I am experiencing this problem when I try to run the server log.

[root@localhost ~]# tail /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log

I am confused as to what the problem might be, if anyone can be of assistance, that will be absolutely lovely. Thanks in advance.
