Create MySQL database and user for Zabbix

Login to MariaDB prompt with command:

mysql -u root -p
Create a database called ‘zabbixdb’ and database user called ‘zabbixuser’.

Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 10
Server version: 5.5.41-MariaDB MariaDB Server

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

MariaDB [(none)]> create database zabbixdb character set utf8;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on zabbixdb.* to 'zabbixuser'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.21 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Well the error tells us that this file does not exist. Have you looked for it yet?

The EPEL is already installed as part of a base install

No it is not.

The default install choice is the minimal package. That has never included EPEL.

Lakshmana

I have verified that the file is present in the path
But the error is coming. Why??

Lakshmana

Whether any issue in the permission of the files.since the files has the following permission

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1978341 Aug 10 04:57 images.sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104816 Aug 10 04:58 schema.sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 972942 Aug 10 13:16 data.sql
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 7 12:38 ..

No it is not.

You are missing context. He is on an NTG Lab machine where the base install installs it. It was in the base install handed to him.

How did you verify? I verified on the same box and the file is not there.

file /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.5/create/schema.sql
/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.5/create/schema.sql: cannot open (No such file or directory)

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 972942 Aug 10 13:16 data.sql
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 7 12:38 ..

Since the file does not exist, permissions will not be the issue.

Lakshmana

I verified there by using this command

cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.5/create/
ls
there are three files in it

That's odd since that cd command does not work on that box. The directory is not there.

I verified this link and they have provided link for the soluton in it

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48111

After seeing this i have done and the error comes is given below

lakshmana@dny-lnx-zabbix create]$ sudo mysql -uroot zabbix < schema.sql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

The solution, I assume, was to use the correct version path, 2.4.6.

You need to add the password since you set one earlier. Add a -p and the password and it should work fine.
