CentOS 4.6 で、ZABBIX 1.4.4
社内のサーバ監視に、ZABBIX（日本語サイト）を使用しているのですが、ZABBIX 1.4 では、「WEB monitoring」というWebサイトを簡単に監視できる機能が搭載されたようなので、この機能を使いたいがため、1.1.3 からアップデートしてみました。

CentOS 4.6 の環境で、いくつか躓いたところがあったので、メモです。
CURLのバージョン
Web Monitoring機能を有効にするには、--with-libcurlオプションを付けてインストールします。
$ ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl
すると、次のようなエラーが出て止まってしまいます。
checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... no configure: error: Not found Curl library
CentOS 4.x では、curlのバージョンは7.12なのでダメなようです。
いろいろ調べてみると、結局、curlを自身でバージョンアップするしかないようです。
以下のようにして解決です。
$ cd ~/src/ $ wget ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/curl/libcurl4-devel-7.16.2-1.i386.rpm $ wget ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/curl/libcurl4-7.16.2-1.i386.rpm $ sudo yum install openssl096b $ sudo yum remove curl-devel $ sudo rpm -i libcurl4*
PHP4
ZABBIXのフロントエンドはPHPなのですが、やっとインストールが成功して管理画面にアクセスすると以下のエラーが発生。
PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /u02/zabbix/web/include/copt.lib.php on line 112
調べてみると、PHP5用のコードになっているのが原因のようです。
以下のようにして解決です。
includes/copt.inc.php を修正し、'static function' を 'function' にすべて置き換えます。
$ vi includes/copt.inc.php :%s/static function/function/g
これで、無事にアップデートすることができました。
