Note that we did not touch the server file with our agent compile. Let's start the agent and check the log:

[root@srv-1 bin]# ./zabbix_agentd
[root@srv-1 bin]# ls /tmp/zab*
/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log  /tmp/zabbix_agentd.tmp  /tmp/zabbix_server.log
[root@srv-1 bin]# cat /tmp/zabbix_agentd.tmp

This will be a dedicated Zabbix server, and we will put the files in the root of the web server. Modify the db.inc.php file and copy:

[root@srv-1 html]# pwd
/var/www/html
[root@srv-1 html]# vi /usr/local/src/zab*server/frontends/php/include/db.inc.php
//      $DB_TYPE        ="POSTGRESQL";
$DB_TYPE        ="MYSQL";
$DB_SERVER      ="localhost";
$DB_DATABASE    ="zabbix";
//      $DB_DATABASE    ="osmiy";
$DB_USER        ="root";
$DB_PASSWORD    ="";
[root@srv-1 html]# cp -r /usr/local/src/zab*server/frontends/php/* ./
[root@srv-1 html]# ls
acknow.php      chart5.php        hosts.php   overview.php    services.php
actionconf.php  chart_sla.php     image.php   popup.php       srv_status.php
actions.php     charts.php        images      profile.php     sysmap.php
alarms.php      config.php        include     queue.php       sysmaps.php
audio           css.css           index.php   report1.php     tr_comments.php
audit.php       events.php        items.php   report2.php     tr_status.php
bulkloader.php  graph.php         latest.php  report3.php     triggers.php
chart.php       graphs.php        map.php     screenconf.php  users.php
chart2.php      history.php       maps.php    screenedit.php
chart4.php      hostprofiles.php  media.php   screens.php
[root@srv-1 html]#

Note that we are using a MySQL user of root. Probabably better to use a different user, but for a dedicated system with only administrators logging on, this is probably fine.
