Hello all, i solved the issue of ZM not wanting to start with error Bareword "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Logger.pm line 153. BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Logger.pm line 168...

Hello all, this is my second trial at trying to get ZM to work, on a perceived less complicated distro, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop, fully updated as of Dec. 20th, 2012, before proceeding with ZoneMinder installation. I chose the desktop over the server version not to waste resources, but because I fel...

Hi there,

still another issue with ZoneMinder, it seems unable to send any alert when movement is deteceted and locally recorded. I checked servers twice, but I don't know why it keeps on failing.

Any hint to know where to start the debugging process?

Hi community, in my attempt to get ZM working, I managed to link it to a distant FTP server. Running on Fedora 17. However, only 0-byte ZIP files are present on the server. I checked permissions, and they appear to be correct, at 644. However, I had a look at both the logs (debug view activated) and...

The account used to upload these files may be apache from ZM... and there's no way to change it I believe. Is there a way to set the permissions as "777", then? Because the user handover seem to be properly done. How is this problem solved? From what you state I'm unsure of how to tackle i...

The email server doesn't accept telnet connections on port 25, and closed it sooner or later before I could perform the test. However, I have experienced it to be working when I was using BlueIris (Windows),which has an option to send alerts by email, SMS, as well as upload to FTP (No SFTP, though)....

Hi, not sure if I understood well, but here is the result of these advice. Trying to connect to the SMTP by telnet, and use pre-approved domain names for it: [usager@Leblanc etc]$ telnet mail.ftp83plus.net 465 Trying 91.221.118.92... Connected to mail.q-x.ch. Escape character is '^]'. HELO www.umont...

Hi, community, yet another issue I can't quite understand with ZoneMinder... it doesn't let the screensaver come up when running, apparently. Since I didn't turn on authentication since it is supposed to be broket, for testing purpose, this is a major security concern. Since its not evident from the...

Thanks. I managed to get it started by adding the missing line where you stated it. I used the same settings, just adapted to use mine, as you shown, then I proceeded on testing it while moving casually in front of the camera. The logs reported the email has been sent with alarm report, as well as u...

Hello community, I would have gladly tested this config, but still have an issue. After a crash due to a disk filling up due to a wrong camera setting on my part (output only green-dominant parasites), I manually deleted the faulty files since I couldn't reconnect to the ZM's web interface, and proc...

According to the documentation, there should already be a Perl module able to do that.

But more importantly, what about the FTP upload?

Hello all, I managed to get ZM to start and run, but when it detects an even, it does't upload anything to the FTP server, or send an email, although I properly filled in the required fields, which renders the recording mostly useless. It doesn't seem to output any error or warning when turned on. H...

Yes, as per wiki's advice, to no avail. Even purging FF's cache doesn't help.

As written in the wiki... yes.

Still doesn't allow access from the web interface.

I finally managed to get it started, following instructions in the wiki and also disabling SELinux (as written for Fedora 18 (Alpha). I'm still not sure disabling a security feature to be able to run an application is the right way to do it. HOWEVER, even with httpd, mysqld and zoneminder services r...
