I’ve been experimenting with Zabbix recently. Unfortunately, as with most things, just following the documentation to install it is a chore.
I ended up at the step where I need to import data into my new MySQL database:
ubuntu@host:~$ zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix gzip: /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz: No such file or directory
Of course, it didn’t exist! Luckily, thanks to a post by a random user, I now knew that the issue was that Ubuntu – or, in my case, Oracle’s cloud image of it – had stripped the documentation directory!
The problem can be fixed by modifying the right file:
nano /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes
…and adding the following line about Zabbix:
#... except zabbix path-include=/usr/share/doc/zabbix*
Re-install the zabbix packages, and you should now see the file needed to continue:
ubuntu@host:/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql$ ls changelog.Debian.gz copyright create.sql.gz
Olá,
estou com o mesmo problema, segui o seu passo a passo, porém mesmo após reinstalar, ainda não aparece o arquivo “create.sql.gz”.
Sabe o que mais poderia fazer ?
SO: ubuntu server 20.04
zabbix: 5.4
Not sure. Modifying the file and re-installing should work; if not, you likely have a different issue than what I had, and I can’t speculate on what that may be.
thank you for your post man, solved!, just in my case in path /etc/dpkg there are 3 stuff: (file)dpkg.cfg (folder)dpkg.cfg.d (folder)origind
I modify the first one exactly how you commented and later follow the steps again in zabbix page to reinstall system
(Tried on Ubuntu 18 bionic)
