This is an updated script to install Zabbix 1.8.x on CentOS/Red Hat 5. I have tested it on CentOS 5.4. The script was made for Zabbix 1.8.0, but if you modify the ZBX_VER variable in the script, it should work on any version in the 1.8 series.
Basically, the script tries to do a few things and assumes some things:
- Only run this for NEW installations, you will lose data if you run on an existing installation
- Run at your own risk
- Installs Zabbix 1.8.x on CentOS 5
- Do not corrupt an existing system
- Be able to run the script over and over in the event that it errors
- Be somewhat flexible
- The database server, web server, and zabbix server all run on one box

I’m from Brazil, so sorry for my bad English.
I loved your script Zabbix installation, fast and simple … congratulations!
I did install successfully on Linux Fedora 12. I had to just make some changes to the method of installation of “fping” and had to add another package called “patch”. If you want my version approved for Fedora 12 I can send you by e-mail!Regards,

Awesome!
Worked right the first time, which is pretty rare when it comes to CentOS.
Kudos for you.

This does not install php-xml which is required to import/export templates with 1.8.1. Also the path for 1.8.1 did not work for the download but it was easy to edit in the script.
-
tanks a lot,
I did install very fast and successfully, i too just make changes in script, I downloaded the zabbix.tar.gz in the tmp folder manually and i did comment some script lines and it work.
Regards,

My work arround…
rpm –import http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-webtatic-andy
wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/webtatic.repo
yum –enablerepo=webtatic install php php-mbstring php-common php-gd php-mysql php-bcmath php-pdo -
hey, thanks for the install script works great on fedora 12, thanks again!
-
Great script! Works like a charm!
If you make a backup of your zabbix database you can even use it to update the zabbix server; stop the zabbix_server process, export the database, run the script, import the database and voila! -
Hello, nice job.
From your script is missing “yum install php-mbstring” -
Cimer pour le script il marche niquel franchemennt !
A + grosThanks you for your script, it’s magical !
See u soon -
You’re also missing php-xml in the easy install script. You won’t be able to import/export Templates or anything without it.
-
Greetings .. is a great tool but I do not work .. route fails to download from sourceforge zabbix 1.8.2 .. I am trying to install zabbix in centos 5.5 and this script would be great ..
Anyone know if there is an installation script for centos zabbix 5.5 and 1.8.3?
thanks
-

I’m still fresh in linux and unsuccessful o setup proxy with mysqlthanks
-
Sorry. I won’t be doing a proxy script.

I have successfully installed the Zabbix server in CentOS using your script.
It’s very useful to us.
Thanks for your great support Brendon

God bless you, man! ))))
5 minutes and here you are! Zabbix is installed!! ))) -
Works good on 1.8.5
-
Superb script… it working cool… As i’m not gud in linux this script help me alot…. Even i want to be such a script writter….
-
Thank you for this script. Sadly, Zabbix didn’t do for us what we needed it to do: how can I edit the script to undo what it did?
Thanks!
-
Very good script.
Thank you -
Thanks for your script. It is great to sit down and read through your blog. I have modded the script in order to incorporate Open VZ requirements in terms of time zone etc. If interested I can post a template of the zabbix install with your script. Can you share experiences with agent installs, monitoring techniques and best practices.
Cheers!!
-
Great script! Just had to modify php.ini for date.timezone option (remove warnings from zabbix interface).
Might also be worth modifying my.cnf for innodb_file_per_table
-
works great, i changed the ZBX_VER=’1.8.3′ to ZBX_VER=’1.8.6′ and installed it without any trouble on centos 5.6!
-
Thank you very much for the script. It worked nicely for 1.8.9. All I had to do was to run Tino hager’s commands and run your script. Below are the commands
rpm –import http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-webtatic-andy
wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/webtatic.repo
yum –enablerepo=webtatic install php php-mbstring php-common php-gd php-mysql php-bcmath php-pdoTweak your script to include the missing. Thanks again! Good job.
