NethServer Version: 7.9 Module: Zabbix (courtesy of mr markuz)
After the update to Zabbix 5.0.26, the service does not start; currently the server is fully updated (even with openjdk 1.8.0whatever)
zabbix-agent is disabled, zabbix-agent2 is enabled as service.
Scrubbing among log, i found this row zabbix-server.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
I forgot: signal-event nethserver-zabbix-update didn’t change a thing
Edit: after stopping zabbix-agent2, i tried to start zabbix-server, than this appeared on the cockpit console echo '{"action":"start","name":"zabbix-server"}' | /usr/bin/setsid /usr/bin/sudo /usr/libexec/nethserver/api/system-services/update | jq
as a “collateral” of dns.service_action_error
Hope this helps… systemctl status zabbix-server -l

And into /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server i found a lot of
zabbix_server [24039]: cannot create PID file [/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_server.pid]: [2] No such file or directory
Directory /zabbix was missing from /var/run then i created it, without changing a thing.
systemctl start zabbix-server
Job for zabbix-server.service failed. See "systemctl status zabbix-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Then I asked to the suggested commands

For my hiccup, this was the solution; the package zabbix-server-pgsql-5.0.26-1.el7.x86_64 was reinstalled after this command.
Credit due to @mrmarkuz for the troubleshooting and the correct hint for solving the problem.
(I also had to increase cache, but this was already covered here)
