Description Igor Gnatenko 2014-03-27 16:01:19 UTC

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
zabbix-agent-2.0.10-2.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install zabbix-agent
2. systemctl start zabbix-agent

Actual results:
zabbix_agentd [25676]: cannot create PID file [/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid]: [2] No such file or directory

Expected results:
all works fine

Additional info:
Workaround:
# mkdir /var/run/zabbix/
# chown zabbix:zabbix /var/run/zabbix/ -R

I think .spec should own /var/run/zabbix/ or something

Comment 1 Jason Bradley Nance 2014-08-30 14:04:14 UTC

Regarding the workaround, I believe it should be:

$ sudo mkdir /var/run/zabbix
$ sudo chown root:zabbix /var/run/zabbix
$ sudo chmod 0775 /var/run/zabbix
$ sudo chcon -u system_u -t zabbix_var_run_t /var/run/zabbix

This issue exists for the zabbix22 packages on EPEL for EL7 as well.
