Zabbix Database error

[Buercky]

Zabbix newby here. Recently installed the Zabbix appliance to VMware. All systems were go until I tried changing from dhcp to a static IP address. I followed this article to change it. 11.2. Interface Configuration Files Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 | Red Hat Customer Portal after changing the IP address and checking the ifcfg-profile file everything looked like it changed correctly. I rebooted the appliance and an OS update auto installed. Now when I attempt to open Zabbix I get this
further investigation
Running find / -type s gets me this
/run/php-fpm/zabbix.sock

in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf SocketDir=/var/run/zabbix

Zabbix server log I get this error:

3716:20210322:143803.827 using configuration file: /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

In /etc/zabbix/web/zabbix.conf.php I get this:
