with the zabbix group (which will be

Once we are done with installation and

Mysql, it is time to configure the Zabbix
and run it.
Configure Zabbix
zabbix 2.0.6 installation will place its conf
file at following location (atleast for me

Copy the above agent start-up script

and edit
1
nano/etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd
paste the copied text in and save,

**Please note**: In above scripts you
might need to change the progdir.
progdir is the physical path of zabbix
server binary. you can use whereis to
locate it
1
2
whereiszabbix_server
/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server
Now let us add it to the services with

1
2
chkconfigaddzabbix_server
chkconfigaddzabbix_agentd
9/17
3/6/2014
all that is left, it to tell the system on

which runlevels it should start them, we
are going to use runlevel 3 and 5.
1
2
chkconfiglevel35zabbix_serveron
chkconfiglevel35zabbix_agentdon
to verify that the changes have been

made, we can use chkconfig to list all
configurations with
1
chkconfiglist
or to just show the zabbix services we

can customize our output with grep
1
chkconfiglist|grepzabbix
All that is left to be done, is to make

these scripts executable, this is done
with the following command
1
2
chmod755/etc/init.d/zabbix_server
chmod755/etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd
Now we can control our scripts with

1
servicezabbix_server{start|stop|restart|condrestart}

i think you need to disable SELINUX,
d)
please try 2 things
1) flush current iptables
iprables -F
and also you need to follow this to
disable SELINUX,

(http://www.akashif.co.uk/php/curl

above blog is written for different
purpose, but the process is same to
disable SELINUX.
try that. i suspect this will solve your
issue
