New Zabbix install with Separate MariaDB database

[scottalanmiller]

Now here is the issue, very odd...

nothing goes to the logs when this fails, very frustrating.

Can't find any reason why it is not connecting to the database and there is zip in the logs. Not impressed with how it handles this situation.

On the Remote mysql server, make sure the zabbix user has been created, and that flush privileges has been run.

grant all on zabbix.* to zabbix identified by 'xibbaz'; 
flush privileges;

Switched to the local database, all of the same settings. Worked instantly. From what I can tell, this is a Zabbix flaw.
