(1) [usability] The step 7 in case of success config file creation, could be more informative. I mean:
The text "Configuration file: OK" replace to "Configuration file "/full/path/to/the/file" created: OK"

The same for fail result:
"Configuration file: Fail" replace to "Configuration file "/full/path/to/the/file" created: Fail"

<Toms> RESOLVED in r27118

<zalex> Tested, CLOSED

(2) [usability] Rename the button "Save configuration file" to "Download configuration file"
then change the description above of the button.
Now, the "save" action to download a file it's not intuitively clear, IMO.

On 3rd step buttons are misplaced in Chrome, see "setup_1.png".
In Firefox first slide buttons are misaligned too.

<zalex> I see the same to 1st step in Opera.

<Toms> RESOLVED in r27188

<zalex> 1st step in Opera -> CLOSED. Chrome (Iron 17.0) on 3rd step worked ok for me even before r27188.

On 4th step the "Database type" drop-down contains only MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Is this ok?

<richlv> it should depend on the db support that is available in your php installation - you should see only supported types.
we could make an improvement and show all types, but the unavailable ones would be disabled in the dropdown (couldn't be chosen)

<zalex> Yes, after installation php5-sqlite package, SQLite3 appeared in that drop-down. Thanks.
I'm not sure is it worth to "coding" for this improvement
Feel free to close this comment. But probably would be better to add a small note here (step 4):
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/installation/install#installing_zabbix_web_interface

<zalex> Actually list of supported databases visible at the 3rd step in the "PHP databases support" value.

On requirements step:
remove total Fail/Ok
add scroll for requirements
retry button is not scrollable

Remove second step.

On first step image instead of text.

Increase version font size to 16 and remove "v".

Add copyright text with link to license to footer.

Change first step name from "Introduction" to "Welcome".

i'd suggest for the image on the 1st step not to have any text on it, and it should take ~ 2/3 of the area, leaving the rest for normal text

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2012 Apr 28 ]

who is the author of that picture?

<Toms> It is temp picture

<zalex> the picture in trunk r27285 is very similar
Interesting what it means, why exactly that picture?

(6) ?sid=cc77447aba07b498 should not be added to the "www.zabbix.com" and "GPL v2" links even if i logged in and opened "setup.php" page

In default.css for div.setup_wizard:

  • colors should be with capital letters "#608cb6" => "#608CB6"
  • there should be a space before opening bracket "div.setup_wizard div.left_menu li{"
  • styles like "margin: 1px 0 0 0;" can be shortened to "margin: 1px 0 0;"

I did that in my previous commit but it was overwritten

Fixed in 2.0.0 r27285

(10) Trunk r27285. In the Opera, Iron 17, Firefox 10, and I suppose other browsers all buttons at all steps are are misplaced, the same as (3)
REOPENED

<Toms> Opera 11.62, Firefox 12.0 doesn't show this behavior. Iron in not supported by Zabbix didn't checked.

<zalex> Toms, sorry, my bad. I'm updating trunk fronted using custom script where the revision and current timestamp are added to a defines line.
define('ZABBIX_VERSION', '2.0.0rc4-27285 last updated: Mon May 7 09:43:38 EEST 2012 ');
It was a problem.
That's why I've reopened. Sorry again.
btw, Iron it the same as Chromium (Chrom).
CLOSED

(11) I've reached the step where the configuration file is created, but it couldn't be created, due to the lack of permissions. That's ok, but it also displays a "Config file DB server is not equal to wizard input." error above. What in the world does that mean?

Btw: "Configuration file "/opt/lampp/htdocs/zabbix/trunk/frontends/php/conf/zabbix.conf.php" created: Fail" could probably be replaced with something more human. Like "Could not create the configuration file".

<Toms> Changed according to (1)

<pavels> What about the weird error message?

<Toms> Looks OK for me. I think these kind of things should be discussed with Rich.

<Vedmak> About error message, you probably tried to install Zabbix with existing configuration file, but as setup didn't have permissions to write it, you got situation where you have old config file which differ with values you entered during setup, so it tells you that "DB server" differs.

<pavels> That is should just say "Cannot overwrite the current configuration file" or something. The current message is extremely unclear.

<pavels> After some discussion we've decided to remove that message, and to add a message if the configuration file exists. Something like "The current configuration file will be overwritten". It should also be highlighted somehow, maybe bold?

<Toms> Will be improved in ZBX-4953
