Step #01: Check server version & ip address using below command.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# lsb_release -a && ip r
Create backup folder for backup database configuration file and database.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# mkdir backup root@Zabbix-Srv:~# cp /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf /root/backup root@Zabbix-Srv:~# cp /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf /root/backup root@Zabbix-Srv:~# cp /etc/zabbix/web/zabbix.conf.php /root/backup root@Zabbix-Srv:~# mysqldump -u root -p zabbix_db > /root/backup/zabbix_db.sql
Then type your mysql root password.
Check your current Zabbix server version using below command.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# zabbix_server -V
Step #02: Download Zabbix 5.0 deb file from official link.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_5.0-1%2Bbionic_all.deb
Then run downloaded deb file using below command.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.0-1+bionic_all.deb
Then update and upgrade command run from your server.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# apt-get update root@Zabbix-Srv:~# apt-get install --only-upgrade zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-agent zabbix-frontend-php
You see for confirmation The default action is to keep your current version. Now press Y for yes.
Then you find any error log from log file.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# tail -f /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log
Find out wany error from log file, I see database name, user name & password not match. That’s why can’t connect to database using my old user password. I think zabbix server conf file replace using default settings.
Now stop and start zabbix service using below command.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# service zabbix-server stop root@Zabbix-Srv:~# service zabbix-server start
Open zabbix server configuration file and replace as your old password.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
My database name, user name & password as like below. So must be collect your exact details from your old config file.
DBName=zabbix_db DBUser=zabbix_user DBPassword=passw0rd
Press Esc type :wq then press Enter for save.
or
just you copy your old config file using below command.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# cp /root/backup/zabbix_server.conf /etc/zabbix/ root@Zabbix-Srv:~# cp /root/backup/zabbix_agentd.conf /etc/zabbix/ root@Zabbix-Srv:~# cp /root/backup/zabbix.conf.php /etc/zabbix/web/
Then restart zabbix service using below command.
root@Zabbix-Srv:~# service zabbix-server stop root@Zabbix-Srv:~# service zabbix-server start root@Zabbix-Srv:~# tail -f /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log
Now access your zabbix server ip address from your pc.
