So, for those reading in the future, I came up with a workaround immediately after posting, but... it seems like there's a bigger problem somewhere.

in /var/www/html/zabbix/include is the file 'defines.inc.php', that defines a crapton of php variables (including the following):

Code:

define('ZABBIX_VERSION',        '3.4.4');
define('ZABBIX_API_VERSION',    '3.4.4');
define('ZABBIX_EXPORT_VERSION', '3.4');
define('ZABBIX_DB_VERSION',     3040000);

These lines were all set to 3.2 numbers (ie, 3020000).

I'm not sure why the upgrade to the correct zabbix-web didn't fix these (which means Something Is Not Right), and I'm a little scared about it, but the workaround is in place and I can access my toys.

If anyone has any ideas as to the cause, please lemme know.

Yup. Went to investigate a little farther.

The php frontend source of zabbix-3.4.4 differs tremendously from the stuff in the packages. No idea what happened here, but my workaround-ed 'charts.php' is throwing an error in the web console.

thankfully, installing the frontend from sources is actually really easy - according to the zabbix material, all one does is move crap from the zabbix-3.4.4/frontend/php/ directory to the /var/www/html/zabbix/ directory (reserving old conf files, etc). Hopefully that helps someone in the future.

Nonetheless, I'd LOVE to know why updating zabbix-web doesn't actually update zabbix-web. Not looking forward to the next upgrade (when I'll have completely forgotten all that I've done for this one). Bonus points for any tips.

Hi there,

Which command you've issued to upgrade the packages?

oh, y'know, the usual...

Code:

#copy all the config files and stop all the services
yum clean all
yum upgrade
yum upgrade zabbix-web
yum upgrade zabbix-*
#wtf is going on why isn't this working
rm /etc/yum.repos.d/zabbix
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.4-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum upgrade zabbix-*
#maybe it's being served from another repository?
rm /etc/yum.repos.d/zabbix
yum clean all
yum update
yum search zabbix
#nope, no zabbix without the zabbix repo
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.4-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
#etc, etc, etc

etc etc etc... just a lot of trying every command I know of! There's way more in there, but who can remember what they did five days ago? I sure can't xD

You tried

Code:

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.4-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm

Zabbix 3.4.4 is without -centos

Code:

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.4-2.el7.noarch.rpm

you can look at http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/rhel/7/x86_64/

To avoid any misunderstanding and misconfiguration - please visit this page: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...es/rhel_centos

Use history command
