Enter the database 

# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.2.11/create/

# mysql -u root -p zabbix < schema.sql
Enter password:pass data
# mysql -u root -p zabbix < images.sql
Enter password:pass data
# mysql -u root -p zabbix < data.sql
Enter password:pass data

Edit database configuration in zabbix_server.conf 

 # nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
