1 - Make the zabbix user and group:

sudo adduser zabbix
enter in new password
confirm
use the remaining defaults.

Add zabbix to the admin group:

sudo adduser zabbix admin


2 - Download and Untar the sources:

su - zabbix
wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/s...bix-1.4.tar.gz
tar zxvpf zabbix-1.4.tar.gz




3 - Create a zabbix database and populate it:

mysql -u root -p
create database zabbix;
quit;

mysql -u root -p zabbix < /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.4/create/schema/mysql.sql
mysql -u root -p zabbix < /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.4/create/data/data.sql


4 - Configure, compile and install the server:

cd zabbix-1.4/
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mysql --with-net-snmp \
--enable-server --enable-agent &&
make
sudo make install


5 - Prepare the rest of the system:

sudo nano /etc/services

Add at the end:

zabbix_agent 10050/tcp # Zabbix ports
zabbix_trap 10051/tcp

Save and exit.

sudo mkdir /etc/zabbix
sudo chown -R zabbix.zabbix /etc/zabbix/
cp misc/conf/zabbix_* /etc/zabbix/

Edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf:

nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

Make sure that the Server parameter points to the server address, for the agent that runs on the server it is like this:

Server=127.0.0.1

Edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf:

nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

For small sites this default file will do, however if you are into tweaking your config for your 10+ hosts site, this is the place.

Change this:

# Database password
# Comment this line if no password used

DBPassword=Secret

Start the server :

zabbix_server

Start the client:

zabbix_agentd &


6 - Configure web interface

mkdir /home/zabbix/public_html
cp -R frontends/php/* /home/zabbix/public_html/

Edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Work into file:

Alias /zabbix/ /home/zabbix/public_html/

AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec

Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Order deny,allow
Deny from all



Save and exit.

Make php.ini adjustments:

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Change the following values:

max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
date.timezone = America/Kentucky/Louisville
(use this url to find your correct timezone format: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php )

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
