Using the afore-mentioned PPA in a 16.04 LXD container, I did: `apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php`
I then followed /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql/README.Debian to populate the database. I then followed /usr/share/doc/zabbix-frontend-php/README.Debian to configure the fronted. This document specifically mentions needing to install php-mysql to use MySQL, so I did that as well. I was able to proceed through all the screens at http://<ip of container>/zabbix/setup.php until the last, which threw an error about creating the configuration file. I downloaded the provided instead and saved its contents to /etc/zabbix/zabbix.conf.php and the install was able to conclude. I was able to login and see the dashboard. I have little knowledge of zabbix itself, but this much does work. I will investigate the LTS upgrade path next. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571534 Title: PHP Fatal error in zabbix-frontend-php To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zabbix/+bug/1571534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
