zabbix-server service not starting

[hrswift]

Hi all,

I'm new to the site and fairly new to Zabbix. I was able to build a Zabbix 2.4 server running on SUSE 13.1. When I reboot the server I have to go in to the /var/run/zabbix and the /var/run/zabbixs directories and apply R W X permissions to Others. Only after that am I able to start the zabbix-server service. the error message in the log file says it "cannot create the zabbix-server.pid file access denied". My question is where might I find the process or config file that creates this directory during the boot or startup process? I am hopeful that I can alter that process and have it apply the proper permissions.

Thanks

The pid file directory is defined on your Zabbix server in zabbix_server.conf

Keep getting this in the log file.

"zabbix-server [3034]: cannot create PID file [/var/run/zabbix/zabbix-server.pid]: [13] Permission denied"


When I assign R, W and X to Owner, Group and Others to the /var/run/zabbix directory the service starts and the permission denied error goes away.

How can I assign these permissions automatically during a boot up?

You can create script to give permissions on boot. But it is not the right solution. I think that you have some restrictions on your Suse with saving syste configuration.

Thanks for the reply akhundof,

How may I track down that restriction in SUSE?
