Installing the database
-----------------------
The Zabbix server needs an SQL database to run. As you chose to install
this zabbix-server-mysql package you apparently want to use a MySQL server
as a storage backend.
Set up a MySQL database server on any system - you are not forced to run it
on the same computer as the Zabbix server:
-> apt-get install mysql-server
Create a new database (let's call it "zabbix"):
-> mysql -p -e "create database zabbix character set utf8"
Create a MySQL user that has access rights to the database
(please use another password than 'SECRETPASSWORD'):
-> mysql -p -e "grant all on zabbix.* to 'zabbix'@'localhost' identified by 'SECRETPASSWORD'"
Create the database schema:
-> zcat /usr/share/zabbix-server-mysql/{schema,images,data}.sql.gz \
| mysql -uzabbix -pSECRETPASSWORD zabbix
Now enter the database access credentials into your
/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf, enable the startup in the
/etc/default/zabbix-server-mysql file and start the Zabbix server.
