Great code. It works smoothly in Ubuntu 7.10. I had already a workaround of this "startup failure" bug, but my code was not integrated in the init.d startup file.
Thanks a lot.

Actually this bug is not fixed.

The proposed fix is good (and is the same used in #96644) but the zabbix-1.4.2-4ubuntu3 package only fixed the zabbix-agent.init script and not the server init scripts (I double checked looking at the package sources):

- zabbix-server-pgsql.zabbix-server.init
- zabbix-server-mysql.zabbix-server.init

Please apply the same fix to both of these files.

Thanks!

I can confirm that it does still affect Hardy and it's also a problem in Intrepid. Same problems, identical symptoms, in both server and agent.

Why not use the following code:

if test ! -d $(dirname $PID); then
    mkdir $(dirname $PID)
    chown -R zabbix:zabbix $(dirname $PID)
fi

safes a variable, not a big deal, but still.

This seems to have been uploaded to hardy-proposed but there's no patch on this bug report and no moru-sru approval so it'll stay in Unapproved for now.

Accepted into hardy-proposed, please test

I'm happy to confirm that 1.4.2-4ubuntu3.1 of zabbix-server-mysql from hardy-proposed successfully restarts after a reboot, unlike 1.4.2-4ubuntu3 from hardy. zabbix-agent also tested and restarts successfully after a reboot.
