centos 7 and zabbix

[nikohal]

After ./configure and make install zabbix_server missing. (./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --enable-ipv6 --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl)
In picture you see what it installed.

You should find zabbix_server (and zabbix_agentd) probably in /usr/local/sbin

zabbix_get and zabbix_sender go to /usr/local/bin

[nikohal]

Thank you

But I get now this error
Zabbix server is not running: the information displayed may not be current.
How to fix this.

Regards, Nikoh H.

[tchjts1]

Do you see processes running with ps -ef|grep zabbix_server ?

If so, then check to see whether SELinux is set to permissive or enforced with sestatus

If it is enforced, that is probably causing the issue that you now see. There are various ways of allowing Zabbix to work with SELinux. You will have to decide which way you wish to use. Do a forum search for SELinux and you should find some options.

root 5014 3988 0 21:11 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto zabbix_server

SELinux status: disabled

So how fix?

I do that all, but I get error Zabbix server is not running.
But it's running
zabbix 7054 1 0 22:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/zabbix_server -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
root 7180 3988 0 22:05 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto zabbix_server

Well, actually when I do ps -ef , I'm getting ~100 lines, contain "zabbix_server"

[root@z ~]# ps -ef | grep zabbix_server | wc -l
105

If you have only one line - it means, that no any (pollers, trappers, pingers, etc.) sub-processes are working.

Do you mind to show us /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf?
Also, cut-and-paste the /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log file - from line
Starting Zabbix Server. Zabbix 2.4.5 (revision 53282).
until the end of file.

Your log-file is full of error messages

  7054:20150428:222208.721 [Z3001] connection to database 'zabbix' failed: [1045] Access denied for user 'zabbix'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
  7054:20150428:222208.721 database is down: reconnecting in 10 seconds

It means, that you not configured database properly.

From the previous link, check the steps (I highlighted the important commands):
- Configure the database

grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'secretpassword';

- Configure Zabbix parameters

sudo sed -i 's/^# DBPassword=.*/DBPassword=secretpassword/' /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Why?
From your configuration file, we see:

### Option: DBUser
# Database user. Ignored for SQLite.
DBUser=zabbix

### Option: DBPassword
# Database password. Ignored for SQLite.
# DBPassword=

You tell to Zabbix server : use 'zabbix' username and 'no password' credential to access to database.
But you didn't say to mysql daemon (provide all privileges to zabbix without password):

grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost;

Your log-file looks correct.
Do you mind to check all steps of Installation?
May be you skip or miss some small details?


Just for experiment I would be use "ready-to-go" Virtual appliance.
It's previously configured and easy to learn.

I try to do that with mysql, but it's same error: Zabbix server not running.
But it's running: pi 28620 2389 0 12:44 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto zabbix_server

How I can fix this issue? What is wrong?
