The EPEL is already installed as part of a base install

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.

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

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)

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 ..

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

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

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.

How to login my SQL to check whether it is logging properly?

Just use the command..

mysql -u root -p password

Where "password" is the actual password. Keep in mind that SQL is a language, you can't log into it. MariaDB is a relational database management system. So you can log into MariaDB and talk to it using the SQL language, but you can't log into a language.

You are missing the database name in the command. It doesn't know where to run the SQL commands.

I have checked the details of the database and also teh username in mysql by the following command

[lakshmana@dny-lnx-zabbix ~]$ mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 76

I have also changed the password the of the zabbixuser and tried to import the template the same error as shown above that is the errror is shown as
-bash: /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.5/create/schema.sql: No such file or directory

These two things are not related. The user that you are using to import is root, not zabbix. The reason that the file does not exist is because it simply does not exist as we proved earlier.

The error is very explicit and obvious. The error tells you that the file does not exist. This should not have made you change a password.

I can access both root and user from the terminal.
MariaDB is able to login from the terminal
