I've probably installed this dozens of times now, but have never had this happen. This is with 1.24.3-4 in Fedora Core 15. This hasn't happened in previous releases, so I'm assuming I'm missing a simple step somewhere.
ZM doesn't start. I get the following errors:
[root@zm etc]# service zoneminder status

ZoneMinder is stopped
I'm assuming this is something to do with the default username/password in /etc/zm.conf. I can't get into the ZM database in mysql using them, either.....so is something changed with the zm_create script now in Fedora?
