 Description   

The dashboard claims that the Zabbix Server is not running which is wrong.

1. fsockopen returns FALSE on error so please compare with FALSE in config.inc.php:
$status["zabbix_server"] = ($checkport == FALSE) ? S_NO : S_YES;

2. in blocks.inc.php
$table->AddRow(array(S_ZABBIX_SERVER_IS_RUNNING,new CSpan($status['zabbix_server'], ($status['zabbix_server'] == S_YES ? 'on' : 'off')),' - '));

So it is "on" if Status is S_YES, not "off".

So far this only fixes the color of the Zabbix Server Status, but the text is still "no" for unknown reasons.

ZABBIX server is running No -

Nothing to fix.

Comment by Sven Goldt [ 2009 Jun 05 ]

Nothing to fix ? I gave you a partial fix but even that you can't do ?

Comment by Sven Goldt [ 2009 Jun 05 ]

With the partial fix the color of "No" just changed from red to green.

Comment by Artem Suharev (Inactive) [ 2009 Jun 09 ]

If you would done more research you would notice that 'on' and 'off' is a CSS classes, which represent green coloring for off and red for on. So when server is running we use class 'off' which is for green!!!

BTW: You haven't mentioned zbx version... so I assume that your zbx server and frontend are located on the separate servers.

Comment by Sven Goldt [ 2009 Jun 09 ]

Well, i haven't mentioned the version because it is given already in "Affects Version/s" at the top of the page.
The Zabbix server and it's frontend are on the same machine.
I am not concerned of the color, i am concerned about the "No" instead of "Yes".
How can the frontend display the latest values when the zabbix server is not running ? It''s because the server IS running.

Do you see "ZABBIX server is running Yes -" on your dashboard screen ?

Well there are 4 releases by now in 1.6 branch.. and sources are different.

Yes, I do see it up and running.

If server and frontend on the same server, then check if php is compiled with sockets support.

Comment by Sven Goldt [ 2009 Jun 09 ]

Registered Stream Socket Transports: tcp, udp, unix, udg, ssl, sslv3, sslv2, tls

The Version is the latest but i guess 1.6.1 - 1.6.4 would all show "No".

Comment by Artem Suharev (Inactive) [ 2009 Jun 09 ]

No, you must find module sockets, and it must be enabled.

Comment by Sven Goldt [ 2009 Jun 10 ]

I recompiled php and explicitely added "--enable-sockets" but nothing changed.
When configure finds socket support it will be added automatically anyways and in my case no modules are used so every extension is built-in:
extensions=" libxml openssl pcre zlib bcmath calendar ctype curl date dom filter gd hash iconv json mbstring mysql oci8 pdo pdo_sqlite posix reflection session simplexml sockets spl sqlite standard tokenizer xml xmlreader xmlwriter"
phpinfo() shows also: Sockets Support enabled

Comment by Artem Suharev (Inactive) [ 2009 Jun 10 ]

In zabbix.conf.php those two variables must be defined:

$ZBX_SERVER = "your.zabbix.server.ip";
$ZBX_SERVER_PORT = "port";

Check this.

Comment by Sven Goldt [ 2009 Jun 10 ]

Great. That did it !

Thanks,
Sven

Glad to hear that!

I hope that you do understand that it is a onetime support.
Sorry but we do not have so much time to help everybody.
