Found it! The files in /var/www/html/zm were datestamped May 10 16:06 (which would have been the last time I ran make & make install) but the files in /var/www/cgi-bin were timestamped as Apr 16 18:48 which must have been from the previous version installation (presumably one uses string and the ...

Sorry probably did not make that quite clear that was what I meant by "dropped zm database using mysql" as in the commands below (I tried this again) and apart from deleting the list of video sources on the zm home page it has made no difference - when I add the monitor I still cannot see images ...

Even after the following I am still in the position of no images (except in the zone configuration pages) I dropped zm database using mysql then entered the following commands make uninstall make mysql mysql <db/zm_create.sql mysql mysql grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zmuser ...

I have re-run 'make' and 'make install' - still the same result

I have no real data in the database so deleteing the lot and starting an instalation from scratch seems the next step

Unless anyone has any better idead I'll try that sometime over the next day or so.

Thanks

Dave

Already ran 'zmupdate.pl -f' as per the error message - still the same position - the script seems to run OK output follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@dfb2 scripts]# zmupdate.pl -f Update agent starting at 06/05/10 15:17:23 Freshening configuration ...

Hi, Having got 1.22.0 working (thanks again to Corey!) I can now say persevere the end result is worth a bit of hassle I have updated to 1.22.1 I got some errors when executing the zmupdate script to do with fields that already existed so I commented out the three lines that caused problems. 1.22.1 ...

IT LIVES!

Disabled SE Linux and it now shows Running.

Thanks Corey much appreciated!

Yes running 'service zm stop' followed by 'service zm start' did indeed create the log files. I had deleted them without restarting the service. Should have thought of that javascript:emoticon(':oops:') I still cannot get the web page text to change from Zoneminder Console Stopped and my video ...

cordel wrote "If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start." This might explain why having foolishly deleted the log files (rather than deleting the contents and I didn't think of tail) in an attempt to remove all the previous errors etc I now get no log files created. Can someone ...

Yes that has done it - well there is now some fairly serious and constant disk activity which I assume means the daemon is busy doing its job. :P I still have blank web pages (errors about pconnect) but I think that is more an issue with mismatched versions of php and mysql. Given that at some point ...

The latest version of sql uses a different method for authenticating passwords - I only know this because you are where I was ten days ago. Try this Log into mysql (mysql mysql -uroot -ppassword) and execute the following line at the prompt: mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'auser'@'ahost' = OLD_PASSWORD ...

starting from the reboot (sorry do not know what is relevant so here it all is, including the grief I get from a Microsoft keyboard along with Linux) ;-) Dave Jan 8 18:37:50 localhost rc: Starting readahead: succeeded Jan 8 18:37:52 localhost messagebus: messagebus startup succeeded Jan 8 18:37:53 ...

Thanks for the quick reply: Yeah, somewhere along the line I must have trashed the database, running "SELECT * from Config;" in mysql gave an empty set. I reran perl ./zmconfig.pl and the data is now in the table. For good measure I then ran make as well as make install The ZM service now starts OK ...

Just done a reboot and now get no response to opening the zm.php web page. The services GUI tool shows that zoneminder is not running because BAREWORD "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 62. BEGIN not safe after errors-compilation aborted at /usr ...

Hi, I've been going nuts over the past few days trying to get ZoneMinder to work, I have read the docs, I have looked at the log files and I have googled until my eyes hurt. Zoneminder v 1.19.5 Mysql 4.1.8 all other packages as from Fedora Core 3 - I have even gone back to the install disks and ...
