Zabbix server is not running: the information displayed may not be current

Question

So all of a sudden, after a week of using it, I get an error message on my zabbix server gui (http://localhost/zabbix/.)

The error says: Zabbix serve

Answer 1

Solution might be this simple:

    sudo su 
    
    nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix-server.conf

Remove "#" in front of DBPassword=YourPassword (will change from blue to grey)

Ctrl x (Y to save and press enter to exit)

    service zabbix-server restart

Now you can refresh your browser running ZABBIX. If not, you will have to do the same steps for CacheSize=32M

You do not have to change anything in /etc/zabbix/web/zabbix.conf.php (localhost is fine)

When editing anything, remember "#" in front of line means invisible to linux.
