How to install zabbix server v 2.0.3 on slackware

How to install zabbix server v 2.0.3 on slackware ? By using slackbuilds zabbix server you can create slackware package for zabbix server. Let's do it:


by using Slackbuilds on slackware v 14.0 and in this case i use my slackware 13.37 , downloads:

http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/network/zabbix_server/README
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/network/zabbix_server/README.SLACKWARE
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/network/zabbix_server/doinst.sh
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/network/zabbix_server/rc.zabbix_server
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/network/zabbix_server/slack-desc
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/network/zabbix_server/zabbix_server.SlackBuild
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/network/zabbix_server/zabbix_server.info

and the last thing you will need zabbix server source from official web :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/zabbix/files/ZABBIX%20Latest%20Stable/2.0.3/zabbix-2.0.3.tar.gz/download

put all those at the same directory
edit file zabbix_server.SlackBuild
at line 28  change the version into 2.0.3

VERSION=${VERSION:-1.8.10}

into

VERSION=${VERSION:-2.0.3}

comment line 128 and 129

#cp -a create/data create/schema \
#  $PKG/usr/share/$PRGNAM/create/

edit line 153 into

cp -a AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog INSTALL NEWS README \

explanation:
line 28 : we need change the version because we use the lastes zabbix server (at least in this tutor created)
line 128,129 : the new version zabbix server i didn't find any folder name create so it will get error when building
line 153 : i don't know yet why the new version doesn't have CREDITS file, so i remove it

now start build slackware package, run this command at the same folder zabbix:

bash zabbix_server.SlackBuild

if your build proses didn't appears error, it will create slackware package /tmp/zabbix_server-2.0.3-i486-1_SBo.tgz then you can install by using command:

installpkg /tmp/zabbix_server-2.0.3-i486-1_SBo.tgz

Set database and user for zabbix:
change your current folder location into /tmp/SBo/zabbix-2.0.3/database, run this command:

cd /tmp/SBo/zabbix-2.0.3/database/mysql/

then import database :

mysql -u root  -p "password"
mysql> create database zabbix;
mysql> use zabbix;
mysql> \. schema.sql;
mysql> \. data.sql;
mysql> \. images.sql;
mysql> grant all on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'rahasia';
mysql> quit

Now set up configuration and do backup default configuration :

mv /etc/zabbix_server.conf /etc/zabbix_server.conf.backup

then create new config: /etc/zabbix_server.conf

DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=rahasia
ListenPort=10051
ListenIP=127.0.0.1
SenderFrequency=30
DebugLevel=3
Timeout=5
PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_server.log
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log

The last set up:
running zabbix daemon as super user (root), run:

bash /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_server start

now you can access zabbix frontend from browser, access http://yourserver/zabbix
username : Admin
password : zabbix
