Comments on Zabbix 1.4.4 From Source On Debian Etch

Zabbix 1.4.4 From Source On Debian Etch Originally posted on Zabbix 1.4.4 from source on Debian Etch. This guide will walk you through installing Zabbix 1.4.4 from source on Debian Etch. 1.4.4 has many improvements over what is currently available in apt, and it's not hard so you might as well do it this way. *Note: this walkthrough assumes that you will be running the zabbix database on the same machine as the frontend. You dont have to obviously, just do the mysql setup on whatever db server you are using and point the necessary things to it.

few typos on here

mysql -u root -p zabbix < /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.4.4/create/images_mysql.sql

doesnt exist, /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.4.4/create/data/images_mysql.sql does though

Create /etc/apache2-sites-available/zabbix with the following content:

i think this is supposed to be /etc/apache2/sites-available/zabbix

You missed database name in mysql command 
Try  mysql -u root -ppassword dbname < /path/to/dbname.sql

Hi cmdln,

thx for the great howto.

Somethings seems wrong with my apache2 config as following error ocurs:

debian:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server: apache2We failed to correctly shutdown apache, so we're now killing all running apache processes. This is almost certainly suboptimal, so please make sure your system is working as you'd expect now! (warning).
 ... waiting .Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/zabbix:
<VirtualHost> directive requires additional arguments
 failed!

Could u give me a hint, whats wrong with that?

My config looks like that:

<virtualhost>
 ServerName debian.domain.local
 DocumentRoot /var/www/zabbix
 <directory>
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
 </directory>
</virtualhost>

Thx and greetz

You'll need an IP after the VirtualHost.

<Virtualhost 192.168.1.100>
 ServerName debian.domain.local
 DocumentRoot /var/www/zabbix
 <directory>
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
 </directory>
</virtualhost>
