ls -l /application/
cd /application/mysql/
ls -l support-files/*.cnf
/bin/cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
mkdir -p /application/mysql/data
chown -R mysql.mysql /application/mysql/

chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysqld


sed -i 's#/usr/local/mysql#/application/mysql#g' /application/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe /etc/init.d/mysqld

/etc/init.d/mysqld start
netstat -lntup|grep mysql


chkconfig --add mysqld
chkconfig mysqld on
chkconfig --list mysqld

echo 'export PATH=/application/mysql/bin:$PATH' >> /etc/profile
tail -1 /etc/profile
source /etc/profile
echo $PATH

Running command:

source install_mysql
/application/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation

2. Installing repository configuration package

Zabbix 2.4 for RHEL6, Oracle Linux 6, CentOS 6:
# rpm -ivh http://mirrors.aliyun.com/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-2.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm

Installing Zabbix packages

# yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql

Creating initial database

shell> mysql -uroot -p
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'zabbix';
mysql> quit;

Import initial schema and data.

# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.8/create
# mysql -uroot -p zabbix < schema.sql
# mysql -uroot -p zabbix < images.sql
# mysql -uroot -p zabbix < data.sql

Starting Zabbix server process

Edit database configuration in zabbix_server.conf

# vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=zabbix
DBSocket=/tmp/mysql.sock

Start Zabbix server process.

service zabbix-server start

Editing PHP configuration for Zabbix frontend

Apache configuration file for Zabbix frontend is located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zabbix.conf. Some PHP settings are already configured.

# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/zabbix.conf
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value date.timezone Asia/Shanghai

It’s necessary to uncomment the “date.timezone” setting and set the right timezone for you. After changing the configuration file restart the apache web server.

# service httpd restart

Zabbix frontend is available at http://zabbix-frontend-hostname/zabbix in the browser. Default username/password is Admin/zabbix.

3. Troubleshooting

mkdir -p /var/lib/mysql; ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

---

vim /etc/sysconfig/clock

ZONE="Aisa/Shanghai"

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime
echo '#time sync by stan zhou at `date`'>> /var/spool/cron/root
echo '*/5 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate 3.cn.pool.ntp.org > /dev/null 2>&1' >> /var/spool/cron/root
reboot
