Here is the complete guide of how to install Zabbix centralized monitoring Server in Ubuntu 16.04. I will install this with MySQL 5.7 and PHP 7.1. I Hope you would like this.
Run the following commands for update all the repository and upgrade the installed package:
Repository update:
# apt update -y
# apt upgrade -y
Install and configure Apache2 (Web Server):
# apt install apache2 apache2-utils -y
# a2enmod rewrite
# a2enmod deflate
# a2enmod ssl
# a2enmod headers
# sed -i ‘165s/Options Indexes FollowSymLinks/Options FollowSymLinks/g’ /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# sed -i ‘166s/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/g’ /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# echo “ServerSignature Off” >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now we have to Install and Configure PHP 7.1:
# apt-get install python-software-properties -y
# add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
# apt-get update -y
# apt-get install -y php7.1 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-mbstring php7.1-curl php7.1-cli php7.1-mysql php7.1-gd php7.1-intl php7.1-xsl php7.1-bcmath php7.1-bz2 php7.1-gd php7.1-zip php7.1-imap php7.1-soap php7.1-tidy
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

# php -m
Info.php code:
Now we have to Install MySQL 5.7:
# apt-get update -y
# apt-get install mysql-server -y
You can check MySQL version from below command (Optional):
# mysql -V
Zabbix Latest Repository Installation:
# wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_3.2-1+xenial_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_3.2-1+xenial_all.deb
# apt-get update
Install and Configuration of Zabbix Server:
Zabbix server and web frontend installation with MySQL database:
# apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php
Creating initial database:
Create Zabbix database and user on MySQL by the following commands, where
# mysql -uroot -p123
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by ‘456’;
mysql> quit;
Import Database:
If you are installing the fresh copy of Zabbix server, Then you have to import default Zabbix database for initial schema and data. You will find the default Zabbix database under “/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql” this directory.
Or if you have a previous Zabbix server database backup file, then you have to import your old database instead of the default Zabbix database.
I am installing the fresh copy of Zabbix, so I will import the default zabbix database for initial schema and data.
# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql
# zcat create.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix
You will ask for the password to import database, and you have to give the right MySQL user password.
Zabbix Server configuration:
Now you need to make some change in your Zabbix server configuration file.
#vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=456
Save the file by typing :x!
Before save you should give your information here according to you.
Now you have to start the Zabbix server.
# /etc/init.d/zabbix-server start
# update-rc.d zabbix-server enable
Now you have to change your timezone to your preferred location in your PHP configuration file.
# vim /etc/zabbix/apache.conf
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
# php_value date.timezone Europe/Riga
Uncomment the date.timezone and change it to your preferred location.
Restart the apache2 service.
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
That’s All, You have finished the installation process of Zabbix server. Now you should access the Zabbix frontend installation page. Just IP/zabbix/setup.php in your browser for access the Zabbix frontend installation page.
** If you have any firewall in your network then make sure you have opened 80 port in your firewall.
Thank You
