If you recive error above try to disable “innodb_strict_mode“.
a) Disable innodb strict mode:
mysql -uroot -p'rootDBpass' zabbix -e "set global innodb_strict_mode='OFF';"
b) Restart Zabbix server:
systemctl restart zabbix-server
And check if upgrade was successful with the command “cat /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log | grep database“.
