error during fresh zabbix installation

[helloguys2024]

hi,
I am new to zabbix and trying to install it on my virtualbox server which is rhel 9.3, with 2GB RAM and 2cpu. I am following the following document:

https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=6.4&os_distribution=red_hat_enterp rise_linux&os_version=8&components=server_frontend _agent&db=mysql&ws=apache

I am getting several errors on step c: install Zabbix server, frontend, agent

[solution]

Your highlighted selection is for RHEL 8

[cyber]

Install requirements first... php, mysql, apache etc... Your box does not know where to take all those required things

[tim.mooney]

Cyber is right, your software repositories defined and enabled on that system aren't enough to provide some standard packages that Zabbix needs.

Your error messages often end with "from epel". That means that you have the EPEL repository defined and enabled, but it doesn't seem like you have any other necessary repositories enabled. For RHEL 9.x, you should have "BaseOS" and "AppStream" at a minimum.

What does

sudo yum repolist

output? You can use "dnf" instead of "yum" if you prefer, yum is just an alias to dnf for those of us that haven't retrained our fingers to type dnf yet.
