Describe the bug

Hey @dj-wasabi. I am trying to install all supported LTS releases of zabbix-server, but failing to do so with 2.2 and 3.0 LTS (sorry for merging these issues, if you prefer them separated just let me know).

  • zbx server 2.2 on ubuntu 14.04 (seems those files are in /usr/share/zabbix-server-mysql/):

Same seems to go for these configuration directives (they are not present in documentation for versions 3.2 and lower:
HistoryStorageTypes
HistoryStorageDateIndex
ExportDir
ExportFileSize

Hi @D3DeFi

I provided a PR. Is there a way you can test/verify it before merging? I tried locally and in my cases it worked, I would suppose it works also in your case?

No problem, but I won't have time until tomorrow. I will let you know how it went :)
