Bug 1159060

*** Bug 1136479 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Yes, I'm confirming still no update of version Zabbix 2.2.1 in EL6. The date of version 2.2.1 in EL6 is 2014-01-19 is nearly 1 year.

Created attachment 988851 [details]
SRPM updated to 2.2.7 version

I attached a SRPM containing:
- specfile updated to 2.2.7-1 (latest from EL7 at this moment)
- zabbix-server.init, zabbix-agentd.init and zabbbix-proxy.init, from zabbix22-2.2.1-5.el6.src.rpm
- other files from zabbix22-2.2.7-1.el7.src.rpm

I've tested this specfile and it works fine in EPEL 6 and 7: please use it to build a EPEL 6 package now. And when you have time to work on 2.2.8 version, you could start from this generic specfile instead of EPEL 7 specific specfile.

For now, please update the zabbix22 package, at least to 2.2.7 version: many bugfixes depends from it!

 Dear Fabiano, 

I built packages on my CentOS 6.5 from your zabbix22-2.2.7-1.el7.src.rpm.
In my folder ~/RPM/RPMS/noarch creates this files:
zabbix22-dbfiles-mysql-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix22-dbfiles-pgsql-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix22-dbfiles-sqlite3-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix22-proxy-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix22-server-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix22-web-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix22-web-mysql-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix22-web-pgsql-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm

and in ~/RPM/RPMS/x64_86 this:
zabbix22-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
zabbix22-agent-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
zabbix22-proxy-mysql-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
zabbix22-proxy-pgsql-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
zabbix22-proxy-sqlite3-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
zabbix22-server-mysql-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
zabbix22-server-pgsql-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Now I try to install zabbix22-server-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm by this command from ~/RPM/RPMS/noarch
and I got the follow error:
# rpm -Uvh ./zabbix22-server-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
ошибка: Неудовлетворенные зависимости:

Hi,

In order to install zabbix-server, you need also support to a database. These support is represented by the dependence of "pseudo-package" zabbix-server-implementation.

zabbix-server-implementation is provided by zabbix-server-mysql and zabbix-server-pgsql: you need install one of these (and respective "dbfiles" RPM).

Re-running your installation steps...

 Dear Fabiano,
Thank you for reply.
Installation was success by this command
# rpm -Uvh \
>noarch/zabbix22-server-2.2.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm \
>x86_64/zabbix22-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \

>x86_64/zabbix22-agent-2.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

But after this, zabbix-server would not started.
I looked in log file zabbix_server.log
and saw in it:

Then, I increased CacheSize from 35M to 64M, and Zabbix started successfully.

I'm actually not using this RPM for the server installation, but only to client. In fact I only tested it on the client side...

The CacheSize and other parameters of the Zabbix server are the same of the original EPEL 7 packaging: probably you have the same problem if you install zabbix-server package of EPEL 7 on CentOS 7.

I'm happy it worked for you, and I'll be even happier if this update is incorporated into the EPEL mainstream.

Please update here the results of your tests with my package on Zabbix server.

Fabiano, you rpms work good. But I would need to increase CacheSize to 512M in zabbix_server.conf, because the web worked very slowly with 64M.
