What? ZABBIX has never supported start|stop|restart options, I guess you are using some incorrectly installed startup scripts.

Calimero post:
Does /path/to/php/frontend/include/db.inc.php have the right values, especially these:
$DB_SERVER ="127.0.0.1";
$DB_TYPE ="MYSQL";
$DB_SERVER ="127.0.0.1";
$DB_DATABASE ="your_database";
$DB_USER ="your_user";
$DB_PASSWORD ="your_password";

..
