Zabbix server won't start after upgrading to 3.0.4

[peske]

Today I've upgraded my zabbix_server to v3.0.4, but since then I cannot start the server anymore. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. After trying to start the server by executing

service zabbix-server start

I don't get any error, but service is not started. I'm not sure which exact version I've had before, but it is 3.xxx for sure, and everything was working perfectly.

I'm experiencing the same exact issue with zabbix-agent also (after the upgrade).

Important thing to note that no entries are written to any of log files, as if I've never tried to start the service.

Is it known issue? Any suggestion how to resolve?

Thanks!

Hello Peke,
It happens the same, until they find a solution, I'm starting services from CRON

sudo service zabbix-server start
sudo service zabbix-agent start

It's a matter of timing.
If you check zabbix log ( /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log ) you see that zabbix-server tries to connect to database but this one is not up and running.
Just give it some time before trying to connect to the database putting the line:
sleep 30
in the start case of startup script /etc/init.d/zabbix-server

The content will change from this:
case "$1" in
start)
log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
start-stop-daemon --oknodo --start --pidfile $PID \

to this:
case "$1" in
start)
log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
sleep 30
start-stop-daemon --oknodo --start --pidfile $PID \

You must check server and agent logs (/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_{agent,server}.log)

The Solution

Well, sorry guyz. I've located the problem and it is not related to Zabbix, but to Zabbix Puppet module which I'm using in my infrastructure. It coincides that I've upgraded both Zabbix and the module at the same time, so I've falsely blamed Zabbix.

For those who encounter a similar problem: you can find more details here.

Sorry again, and thank you very much!
