Problem with client 1.4.X on different port

[Finger]

Hello,

First, thanks for this great tool !

And sorry for my english, it's not perfect, I'll do my best to explain my probleme clarely.

So, on XP or Win2003 server, I can't launch zabbix service when the ServerPort value is different thant 10051. My goal is to use another defaut port like 21 in my case.

When I want to launch the service, this error message appear :

Error 1053 : The service has not answer so fast after asking of launch

When I change this port for 10051, It launch the program.

So I ask me if it's a bug in Zabbix Agent or if it's a Windows Problem. I search but don't find answer to this question.

I use Zabbix 1.4.2 on Ubuntu for the server and client with same version (I have old 1.1.X client on Windows for waiting).


Thanks per Advance,
Fabien


Here is a part of my configuration File :

Server=ip of server

# Server port for sending active checks

ServerPort=21

Hi Finger,

this is a restriction in the Zabbix agent code. The ServerPort should be something between 1024 and 32767! Remember ports < 1024 are reserved ports. If u want to change this u should change the source code and recompile from source ( source: zbxconf.c in Agent-Directory and server.c in Server-Directory)

Thanks For your answer, I 'll try to recompile agent from source.

I know i use reserved port, but, it's the only working method for us to use active checks without configuring different firewall on the different place.

Thanks.

Hi,

Here is the line to modify :

{"ServerPort", &CONFIG_SERVER_PORT, 0,TYPE_INT, PARM_OPT, 20,32767},

I Modify this line, but I haven't got lot of "ideas" on how to compile Windows Agent, can anyone help me ?

Update : I read that we have to use Visual studio for compiling the client, can anyone compile it for me ? because I don't have this licence ...

Thanks per advance.
