package php4 not installed
package php5 not installed
dpkg: error processing zoneminder (--install):
dependency problems - leaving configured

Do you have a working LAMP installed? Have you tested php under apache?

[kingofkya]

yes php is working and installed because i used a lamp ubuntu install


also if there is a way to make it dpkg disregard the error and continue to configure that would help

also aptitude will not insall zoneminder beacuse of same reson even if i reinstall or update php

[PeterHoward]

After the failure by dpkg -i typing

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install

should pull in everything required.

Before you do the apt-get step, I'd be interested to know what PHP packages you have installed, if not php4 or php5.

If it's because you've manually installed php there is a dpkg command to tell it to ignore dependencies, but that means it will ignore all the other missing dependencies too . . .
