 Description   

Issue with Release 6.4.13 and 6.0.28 and it seems that both is created on Almalinux 8.8 and during installation is trying to download files from https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8.8/ and that fails with error 404. When manually browsing there is a Readme file in that location stating that This directory is deprecated (https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8.8/README.txt).

 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download and try to install appliance (Installation CD/DVD (.iso)) 

Result:
See screenshot.
Expected:
Installed

i have the same problem

I found the solution. The readme file indicates that:

"This directory (and version of AlmaLinux) is outdated. For regular users, please use /8/ instead of /8.8/ in your path."

To resolve this, replace /8.8/ with /8/ in the path. When Zabbix starts, press the TAB key and make the modification.

That is not a solution that is a quick fix.
The fix for this is to change the path in the iso file, but now this case is assigned to Development teams so I guess this will fixed soon.

AlmaLinux 8.9 is now deprecated for appliance install as well.
