Permission Denied error - Zabbix agent new install

[bbperer]

Hi,

I have installed Zabbix agent 2.0 and am getting permission denied (see attached). I even tried to run a manual start : zabbix_agentd -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf and got the same permission denied error.

uname -a
Linux rsasec02 2.6.16.60-0.21-smp #1 SMP Tue May 6 12:41:02 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

cat /etc/issue
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 (x86_64) - Kernel \r (\1)

I tried to run ls -la /var/run and the zabbix.pid is not there.

There is nothing /var/log/messages and /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Please check zabbix_agentd permission with below command


root@kanika-VirtualBox:~# ls -lrt /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1458331 Jun 7 04:40 /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd

if permissions are not like above please change the permission accordinglywith chmod command

I already checked that.

zabbix:zabbix etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid
zabbix:zabbix etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

yes you have checked permission of pid file and configuration file

But please check permission of binary file "zabbix_agentd" with below command

1) locate zabbix_agentd
Generally the binaries are at "/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd" path

2) Then check permission of above file with full path
Please provide its complete o/p

Here you go. See attached. thanks

The file zabbix_agentd does not seem to have execute privilege.
Please try changing the file permissions.

# chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd

That worked for me. Thanks for your help!

It's weird that this issue is on SLES 10 SP2. I installed the same agent on SLES 10 PS4 and SLES 11 and SLES 12 and it works fine.
