====== Install Zabbix 2.2 Server in Debian 7 (Wheezy) ======

Edit ''/etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix.list'' and paste the following lines

  deb http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.2/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.2/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

Then add the gpg key
  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv D13D58E479EA5ED4
  gpg --export --armor D13D58E479EA5ED4 | sudo apt-key add -
and update the apt package list with
  apt-get update

Install the Zabbix server (if //mysql// has not been installed before, please note down the //root// password!)
  apt-get install mysql-server zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-release

If everything went well, we can also add the Zabbix Web UI (not needed but really, really useful) with
  apt-get install zabbix-frontend-php

Now edit ''/etc/apache2/conf.d/zabbix'', uncomment the ''date.timezone'' line and set the correct timezone. Mine looks like
    php_value date.timezone Europe/Rome

Finally, restart //apache2// service with
  service apache2 restart
and point your browser to [[http://my-zabbix-server/zabbix]]

Complete the initial setup and then login using username //Admin// (case sensitive!) with password //zabbix// to connect as Zabbix superuser. 

If you plan to monitor devices and computers via SNMP, install a few additional packages
  apt-get install snmp snmp-mibs-downloader libsnmp-mib-compiler-perl libsnmp-base

Then update MIBs with
  download-mibs

And add
  mibs +ALL
to ''/etc/snmp/snmp.conf''

When using net-snmp tools (for example with the tool //snmpwalk//), Debian / Ubuntu users often get errors like 
  Bad operator (INTEGER): At line 73 in /usr/share/mibs/ietf/SNMPv2-PDU
  Undefined OBJECT-GROUP (diffServMIBMultiFieldClfrGroup): At line 2195 in /usr/share/mibs/ietf/IPSEC-SPD-MIB
  Undefined OBJECT-GROUP (diffServMultiFieldClfrNextFree): At line 2157 in /usr/share/mibs/ietf/IPSEC-SPD-MIB
  Undefined OBJECT-GROUP (diffServMIBMultiFieldClfrGroup): At line 2062 in /usr/share/mibs/ietf/IPSEC-SPD-MIB
  Unlinked OID in IPATM-IPMC-MIB: marsMIB ::= { mib-2 57 }
  Undefined identifier: mib-2 near line 18 of /usr/share/mibs/ietf/IPATM-IPMC-MIB
  ...
If you are getting these messages, follow the instructions posted in [[notes:net-snmp-errors|this page]] to solve the issue.

Finally, you can add the agent in this host to monitor the status of the zabbix server with zabbix
  apt-get install zabbix-agent
