At least one device has been shipped with this problem, so that too needs to be fixed.

wget http://$serverip/mss/zabbix-conf.tar.bz2 tar xvf zabbix-conf.tar.bz2 -C / restart services after that

[intelliant01]

Works.

Hoping this need not be done on next installation. Pls advise.

What is this? I have same issue. I'm trying to find a solution

What helped me: changing the configuration file nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf line DBName=zabbix_proxy to DBName=/var/lib/zabbix/zabbix_proxy Then:

mkdir /var/lib/zabbix/
chown -R zabbix: /var/lib/zabbix/
systemctl restart zabbix-proxy
systemctl status zabbix-proxy
