Installing the database ----------------------- The Zabbix proxy needs an SQL database to run. As you chose to install this zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 package you apparently want to use a SQLite3 database as a storage backend. Create a new SQLite database with the necessary database schema: -> zcat /usr/share/zabbix-proxy-sqlite3/schema.sql.gz | \ sqlite3 /var/lib/zabbix/zabbix.db Change the owner of the database to the "zabbix" user and group: -> chown zabbix:zabbix /var/lib/zabbix/zabbix.db Set the path to your SQLite3 database in the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf configuration file: -> DBName=/var/lib/zabbix/zabbix.db Enable the startup in the /etc/default/zabbix-proxy file and start the Zabbix proxy.
