Followed the documentation for Ubuntu 16.04 Install Zabbix from Package

Was able to get into the frontend  (http://___my__ip/zabbix/)

Then under DB configuration I get 
Cannot connect to the database.Details * Unable to select configuration.

Logs under /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Hit a wall here, and don't know what to do next, any ideas? Thanks**
