Creating initial database

Create zabbix database and user on MySQL. For instructions on doing that,

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start mariadb
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable mariadb
[root@localhost ~]# mysql_secure_installation
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we’ll need the current
password for the root user.  If you’ve just installed MariaDB, and
you haven’t set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on…
Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.
Set root password? [Y/n] Y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
… Success!
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
… Success!
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
… Success!
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
– Dropping test database…
… Success!
– Removing privileges on test database…
… Success!
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y
… Success!

Cleaning up…

All done!  If you’ve completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
[root@localhost ~]# mysql_secure_installation
MariaDB [(none)]>

MariaDB [(none)]> create database zabbix_db;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on zabbix_db.* to zabbix@localhost identified by ‘redhat’;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> exit
[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.2/
[root@localhost zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.2]# gunzip create.sql.gz
[root@localhost zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.2]# mysql -u root -p zabbix_db < create.

Starting Zabbix server process

Edit database configuration in zabbix_server.conf

[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=zabbix

Editing PHP configuration for Zabbix frontend

Apache configuration file for Zabbix frontend is located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zabbix.conf. Some PHP settings are already configured.

php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
# php_value date.timezone Asia/Dhaka

After changing the configuration file restart the apache web server.
Install Zabbix Server 3.0 on linux

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start httpd

Finally Start Zabbix server process by

[root@localhost ~]#service zabbix-server start


Now you login your zabbix and install web content with Database.
