Listener failed error

[pmitchel]

We've loaded zabbix-server (version 2.4.5, downloaded from baseurl=http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/rhel/7/x86_64/)
onto a redhat 7 server. When we start the zabbix_server, we get:

sudo systemctl start zabbix-server
Job for zabbix-server.service failed. See 'systemctl status zabbix-server.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

journalctl -xn returns: zabbix-server.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start. request repeated too quickly, refusing to start.
Failed to start Zabbix Server.

Buried an insane amount of messages (including a memory map) is the following:

listener failed: zbx_tcp_listen() fatal error: unable to serve on any address [[-]:10051]

3425:20150501:141259.457 Got signal [signal:11(SIGSEGV),reason:1,refaddr:0x18]. Crashing ...

I made sure there were no other zabbix servers running (although all I did was kill the ones left in the process table from the prior failed run, I didn't reboot the server to free up any ports)..

Any help will be appreciated.

The first thing to rule out would be things that block network traffic on the zabbix ports. Is SElinux active? Is iptables active?

Listener failed error

Hi Dave,
SInce it's redhat 7 I noticed there was a new daemon I didn't know about, firewalld, so I did the following:

I configured SElinux to be disabled and rebooted the server:
getenforce
Disabled

Then I stopped the two firewall related services:
sudo systemctl stop iptables.service
sudo systemctl stop firewalld

Then I tried starting the zabbix-server:
sudo systemctl start zabbix-server

There are a number of locking errors in the log ((they've been there all along, I didn't bother mentioning them) and the final listener error and crash.

I have this exact same problem....

Running RHEL 7 Zabbix 2.4.5

Any luck with this?

If are use RHEL 7.1, I think that is RHEL's bug.

I think you can resolve by update trousers package.
And, Please report to Red Hat Support.
