I had Zabbix 6.4 running on a #FreeBSD old laptop but foiled up the 15.x upgrade. Missing a dot so file. So i wiped the drive and did a fresh install from DVD.
Trickiest part was again forcing #Zabbix to use PostgreSQL instead of MariaDB because that needs port not pkg, which takes longer on an older machine. Restored templates and a couple hosts and now running Zabbix 7.4, pgsql 16.
