Zabbix SIA provides official RPM and DEB packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian and Ubuntu LTS.

Package files are available at repo.zabbix.com. yum and apt repositories are also available on the server. A step-by-step tutorial for installing Zabbix from packages is provided here.

Supported for versions: RHEL6, CentOS 6

Install the repository configuration package. This package contains yum configuration files.

Zabbix 2.4 for RHEL6:

# rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-2.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm

Install Zabbix packages. Example for Zabbix server and web frontend with mysql database.

# yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql

Example for installing Zabbix agent only.

# yum install zabbix-agent

Create zabbix database and user on MySQL. See database creation scripts for MySQL.

Import initial schema and data.

# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.0/create
# mysql -uroot zabbix < schema.sql
# mysql -uroot zabbix < images.sql
# mysql -uroot zabbix < data.sql

Edit database configuration in zabbix_server.conf

# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=zabbix

Start Zabbix server process.

# service zabbix-server start

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

It's necessary to uncomment the “date.timezone” setting and set the right timezone for you. After changing the configuration file restart the apache web server.
