Description Nerijus Baliūnas 2013-02-28 21:30:38 UTC 
/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log:

zabbix_server [13995]: cannot create PID file [/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_server.pid]: [13] Permission denied

It's because of:
# ls -ld /run/zabbix
drwxr-xr-x 2 zabbix zabbix 60 2013-02-28 21:44 /run/zabbix

zabbix server runs as zabbixsrv user. chmod g+w /run/zabbix helps. As /run/zabbix is used by both zabbix agent and server, its permissions should probably be group writable by default.
Comment 1 Nerijus Baliūnas 2013-02-28 21:32:47 UTC 
BTW, version is zabbix-2.0.5-1.fc18.x86_64 and zabbix server does not start until I make /run/zabbix group writable.
Comment 2 Nerijus Baliūnas 2013-03-16 13:17:09 UTC 
/etc/tmpfiles.d/zabbix.conf is:
D /var/run/zabbix 0755 zabbix zabbix -
It should be changed to:
D /var/run/zabbix 0775 zabbix zabbix -
