MYSQL

if the mysql is fresh install do

emerge –config =dev-db/mysql-5.5.32 

# this should also ask u to create mysql root password

~ # systemctl start mysqld
 ~ # systemctl enable mysqld

mysql -u root -p

mysql> use mysql;
mysql> CREATE DATABASE `zabbix` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;mysql> USE zabbix;mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE ON `zabbix`.* TO 'zabbix'@localhost IDENTIFIED by '<Zabbix Password>';

mysql> source /usr/share/zabbix/database/create/schema/mysql.sql

mysql> source /usr/share/zabbix/database/create/data/data.sql

mysql> source /usr/share/zabbix/database/create/data/images_mysql.sql
