Zabbix solaris agent???

[Anil]

Hi

I am having trouble installing the zabbix agent (zabbix_agentd) on a solaris 9 OS running on Sun Ultra 10 hardware. I have copyied the zabbix_agentd and zabbix_agentd.conf files to a /etc/zabbix directory. However when when i run the ./zabbix_agentd command i get a "cannot execute binary file" error message....is there some specific you have to do when trying to install the agent in a solaris environment.

Please advise, thanks.

P.S ive even tried copying zabbix_agentd to /usr/local/bin/zabbix (which is where the file resides on a linux host and works fine) but it still dont work.

does the user zabbix own the buinary and the conf and the log file,

no...i am running as root

Does the file have execute privileges? I noticed that when I ftp the
files from one server to another and copy them, and change user permissions that I have to set the execute privilege again.

[riegersteve]

the agents on zabbix.com were compiled by me,
the agents need to have execute on and owner should be zabbix, also the log files should be owned by the user zabbix,

once that is all done /usr/local/bin/zabbix_agentd

any questions feel free to ask
