@Weidashuai,

First, ensure that the Zabbix server service is running. If not, you can start the service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start zabbix-server

After starting the Zabbix server, monitor the server’s logs to check for any issues or error messages that might provide more information about the problem.

sudo journalctl -xe -u zabbix-server

Look for any error messages that might point to the cause of the Zabbix server not running.

Next, you need to check that the Zabbix web interface is properly configured to communicate with the Zabbix server in the configuration settings, including the Zabbix server hostname and port.

sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
OR
sudo vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

After making any necessary configuration changes, restart the Zabbix server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart zabbix-server

Finally, make sure that your firewall not blocking Zabbix server communication. Adjust your firewall rules or SELinux policies if needed.

Then, log in again to the Zabbix web interface.

After completing all the steps, I logged into the Zabbix service website and was prompted that the Zabbix server was not running, and the information displayed may not be current.

In reply to Desh Deepak pal. @Desh, First, you need to remove the already installed zabbix40 which is not Zabbix official package as shown.

# yum remove zabbix40

After removing all zabbix40 packages, you can follow the guide to install Zabbix from official repo as shown in this article...

Dear Sir,

I am stuck in installing Zabbix to my centos 7. I tried multiple times so it shows a conflict.

Kindly find below the Details

I checked all the packages by:

# yum search zabbix*

Did clean by yum clean all and after that, I tried to remove them by yum remove Zabbix but it shows there is no package installed.

Try to delete Zabbix-release by rpm -e Zabbix-release but didn’t find anything.

I want 6.2 but Zabbix 50 and 4 conflict with them and also didn’t be deleted. One more thing did anyone let me know where the zabbix.arch files placed.

–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: zabbix50 conflicts with zabbix40-4.0.39-1.el7.x86_64
You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
