• Disk : 25 GB
• RAM : 1GB
• vCPU : 2
• Web Server : Apache

Change hostname

root@ubuntu-1804:~# vi /etc/hosts

root@ubuntu-1804:~# vi /etc/hostname
Zabbix-Srv
root@ubuntu-1804:~# vi /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
preserve_hostname: true
root@ubuntu-1804:~# reboot

N.B: Must be preserve_hostname: true otherwise not save server host name for ubuntu 18.04.

Step #02: Install php package and Zabbix 5.0

root@Zabbix-Srv:~# wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.5/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_4.5-1+bionic_all.deb
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# dpkg -i zabbix-release_4.5-1+bionic_all.deb

root@Zabbix-Srv:~# apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-agent -y

Edit date and time zone from /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

Comment out and change to date.timezone=Asia/Dhaka

root@Zabbix-Srv:~# vi /etc/zabbix/apache.conf

Step #03: Create database and import database into created database.

root@Zabbix-Srv:~# mysql -uroot -p

By default mysql root password is blank. after login mysql terminal then create database with user password.

MariaDB [(none)]> create database zabbix_db character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on zabbix_db.* to zabbix_user@localhost identified by 'passw0rd@123';
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz | mysql -uroot -p zabbix_db

Check Zabbix server config file for database name, database password  and database user are included.

root@Zabbix-Srv:~# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
