Public bug reported: The log file /var/log/upstart/zabbix-agent.log contains
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/run/zabbix': File exists I think the problem is line in the upstart .conf files of both zabbix- agent and zabbix-server [ -d "$DIR" ] || mkdir "$DIR" If both are started at the same time, then they may both find the directory to be absent and thus both attempt to create it. Obviously one of them will fail. I have arbitrarily filed this bug against zabbix- agent, because it was the one that failed on this occasion.
