Fresh install, can't add new host

[jerelev]

Hi
I'm new in zabbix.
I've just installed the latest version and i'm following the manual.
I've created the DB and everything looks fine

Now i'm trying to add a new host as mentioned here:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/quickstart/host

Here is the error i get:
ERROR: Cannot add host
Undefined index: ip [ in /srv/www/htdocs/zabbix/hosts.php:420]
Undefined index: dns [ in /srv/www/htdocs/zabbix/hosts.php:420]
Undefined index: value [ in /srv/www/htdocs/zabbix/hosts.php:452]
Incorrect arguments passed to function.

I tried to look for an answer and there are some similar error but i couldn't find a suitable solution.

Also got the following error when trying to add a "media" to a new user as mentionned here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ickstart/login
Undefined index: sendto [users.php:380 → CView->render() → include() in /srv/www/htdocs/zabbix/include/views/administration.users.edit.php:194]

And when updating this new user permissions:
ERROR: Cannot update user
Invalid method parameters.


Please help

Thanks

Hi Jeremie,

Welcome to Zabbix forums!

Strange that you got such errors there. What version of Zabbix server and frontend are you using?

What manual did you follow to install it?

Best Regards,
Ingus

Anyone please?

Hi Jeremie,

Could you please do the following:
1. enable debug mode for your user

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/config/users_and_usergroups/usergroup

2. try to create a new host and get to the point where you see the errors
3. click on "Debug" link in top right corner
4. post the full debug output here (in a file perhaps)
5. verify that in frontend install step 2 you had everything green

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/installation/install

6. post the output of phpinfo.

With this information we can try to find some additional clues what is actually wrong on your setup. Anyways you shouldn't see any of these error if the installation would be totally successful.

Best Regards,
Ingus

Thanks!!

Hi,

Thank you for the files!

We found out from the debug that the interfaces for the host are not created correctly. However we were not able to reproduce the error.

To understand this, can you please show a screenshot with the host configuration when you get the error or maybe even record the actions you did to reproduce?

What database engine are you using?
Can you show the database config file as well?

Best Regards,
Ingus

Hi Jeremie,

It is possible that PHP 5.3 on SLES is causing your problems.

Could you try to manually upgrade PHP to 5.4 or later and see if it helps?
