Description Jason Nance 2014-08-30 14:13:01 UTC
Fresh install of zabbix22-agent fails to start because the agent cannot create its PID file.

$ sudo systemctl start zabbix-agent
$ cat /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log
zabbix_agentd [2625]: cannot create PID file [/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid]: [2] No such file or directory


Workaround:

$ 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 is same / similar issue as reported for Fedora 19 and 20 in bugs 982001 and 1081584.
