scottalanmiller

Im installing Zabbix on CentOS 7 and cant get the mysql DB created. What documentation are you guys using for the install. Im using the docs on Zabbix website.

What issue are having with the database?

@scottalanmiller shell> cd database/mysql
I see no database folder on the system

alex.olynyk

I see no path to /database/mysql after running locate

That docs tell you to locate the database FILE?

OH, the SQL files for the database are missing from the Zabbix install!!

scottalanmiller

This has nothing to do with the database not working, this is the SQL initialization scripts are not where they are supposed to be from Zabbix. That's very confusing to refer to that as database issue. That's like saying your car isn't working when the issue is you can't find the groceries you were supposed to put in the trunk.

This is the total configuration portion that I see for a database on Centos...

# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.0
# zcat create.sql.gz | mysql -uroot zabbix

Where are you seeing the part that you are doing?

alex.olynyk

@scottalanmiller just above that where it says...Create zabbix database and user on MySQL. For instructions on doing that, see database creation scripts for MySQL.

Guess I misunderstood.
