Zabbix service cannopt start

[fj1200]

Hi all - new to Zabbix.

Just completed what appears to be a 99% successful install on CentOS 7 Minimal Install. All set up and working, the web page is accessible, logged in fine etc, all looking good. However the service itself will not start. Exits with the seemingly popular message:

Job for zabbix-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status zabbix-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I've spent most of the morning trawling through pages of forums and bugfixes, but have found nothing.

The other oddity is that it isn't generating logs. The agent has started fine and is logging but not the server. Have I missed something? I've gone back through the instructions, double- and tripple-checked everything, all looking ok.

I'm not new to Linux but I am to CentOS. I'm keen to get this running as I have 2 more of these servers to build.

Any assistance or pointers gratefully received.

So what did you found in zabbix server log file?

Just after I posted this, as there wasn't a zabbix server log that I could find, I had a poke about in messages and found there was a typo in the zabbix cinfig file - I'd got DNPassword= instead of DBPassword=.

Because the post hadn't been approved I wasn't able to go in and change it, and so went to lunch.
