First run

Now that the server setup is complete you can, at least, run the web-installer.


Go to http://yourserver/zabbix


Installation

Installation wizard:

Zabbix server installation 01


On the next page, everything must be OK. If not, check your PHP configuration !


Database configuration:

Zabbix server installation 02

During the installation Zabbix already setup a database for us! :)

  • Db host: localhost
  • Db Port: 3306 (default)
  • Db name: zabbix
  • Db user: zabbix
  • Db password: your password (mine is zabbix)


Zabbix server details

You can, if you want, name your installation. In my case I will not have any proxy or other zabbix server so I didn't used that option.
