Zabbix as default vhost

[sergii-zemlianyi]

Hi folks,

Did anyone face with issue when access to zabbix UI by IP address points to default vhost which is effectively just /var/www/ ?

I propose to make change in
apache::vhost { $zabbix_url }
and
apache::vhost { "${zabbix_url}_nonssl"}
resources to add attribute
manage_docroot => false

Tested on my env, I can now access Zabbix by IP.

BR,
Sergey

Hi,

So you would like to propose the following change:
Add:

manage_docroot => false

This is only for allowing it via an ip instead of an fqdn? Am I correct?

You can do this already without changing any of the code if you set the following Apache class for your server.

class { 'apache':
  mpm_module => 'prefork',
  default_vhost => false,
  default_ssl_vhost => false,
}

This is indeed easier to do, thank you @ju5t . If this work @szemlyanoy would you please let me know? I can update the documentation about this.

If I set

class profile::zabbix::server {
include ::zabbix::server
include ::zabbix::web
include ::zabbix::javagateway
include ::mysql::client
include ::apache::mod::php
class { 'apache':
mpm_module => 'prefork',
default_vhost => false,
default_ssl_vhost => false,
}
}

then I get obvious duplicate resource error of Class[Apache]. I don't want to set manage_vhost=>false and replicate all params of apache in node definition(or profile)

You're setting defaults that may be causing issues on existing installations. We don't want Zabbix to be the default for example. You're also missing some documentation on your change.

[sergii-zemlianyi]

ok for me it's absolutely fine to pass default 'false'.
Sorry what you mean by documentation?

I'll close this issue as the PR is accepted.
