Could not get this working with the included instructions. Any word yet on an appliance with Zabbix 1.1 stable?

Thanks!

Changed the IP as per instructions on reboot ... the image gets stuck on "Starting apache."

I can ping the IP address successfully though.

Uggh ... the 2nd VM image I've downloaded that doesn't work. Kinda makes these "appliances" useless.

@imanc

Thank you for offering a FTP Download. The connection was fine.

I downloaded the rar file with the "no @ p@ssw0rd", however no matter what combination I use ... login is incorrect.

Please check the root password and make it available in the Readme File in written form.

Thank you.

I was having the same issue, I ended up being able to login with username root and the password provided. (I downloaded w/ @ and it worked.)

Best Regards,
Jeff

I imagine you are on a US System with a US Keyboard, etc.

A described, THERE it should work with the "@" in the password. However I am on a European system and I can't get the "@" for the life of me.

I mean this thing is free for download and to testdrive around ... so how difficult and cryptic do you have to beon the password when it is displayed for everyone in plain text here on the website ??

I followed instructions : does not work at all
then I tried to follow the more general linux instructions and help, still no go

after 1 hour trying to get it going, I'm giving up...
does anyone have less strict or easier VA for zabbix?

as a comparison : the zenoss VA was up and running in less then 25 minutes (including first discovery of the network

The problem is that the apache service doesn't come up. In order to fix this go to /etc/hosts and add your IP address with the hostname "zabbix.domain.com". So, the line in the hosts file should look like this if you set 192.168.1.100 as your IP address:

192.168.1.100 zabbix.domain.com

After that entry, apache will start, simply do a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start

I'm having an issue with the W32 agent connecting to Zabbix.

The agent starts ok but it never reports to the Zabbix server.
Log on the XP box shows: (Cannot Connect to 192.168.9.73:10051)

Do I need to open a port on the Zabbix server?
I can ping 192.168.9.73 ok.
I can log into the Zabbix web page ok from the XP box.

Thanks
Rick
