zabbix-proxy service will not start after install

[hrt101]

Using the 3.0.1 code and this is my first attempt to setup a proxy and I have tried this on both an Ubuntu 14.04 server and a Raspberry Pi with the same result.

The configuration is fine until I try to start the service…nothing happens.

• no response from the service zabbix-proxy start command
• no log file is created, even though Debug is set to 4
• no entry in the syslog
• zabbix-proxy is not running in memory

I have mysql installed and the database and schema are loaded.

Here are the only changes to the zabbix_proxy.conf file:

ProxyMode=0
Server=x.x.x.x
Hostname=zabproxy01
DebugLevel=4
DBName=zabbix_proxy
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=password

Any suggestions or more information I can provide?

Thanks.
