Hi, I've recently had a user with a similar issue. The final solution was to adjust the timezone in the php.ini file: Edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and edit the value for date.timezone, for a list of allowed values have a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php (you have to choose your t...

Hi,

If you are moving the ZM Web folder to a different directory you have to adjust the apache2 configuration too. Have a look at /etc/apache2/conf.d/zm.conf and change the directory so that it matches you new directory.

Hope this helps

Hi,

the ffmpeg ABI anf API changed and is not compatible anymore with the built packages. I have to rebuild the packages to get it working again.

Hi,

I think you should have to edit the paths in apache config file too, otherwise the required php options are not set.
It is located at /etc/apache2/conf.d/zm.conf.

Hope this helps

Hi,

can you pleas post which version of the rpm you are using. You can get the installed version with

Maybe the cause for the problem is already posted here: this: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18735 In your case I also would suggest to remove /root/.my.cnf file too to start clean again. Then log in to MySQL: mysql -p And follow the steps from previous post. Hope this helps

Hi, recreating the database is very simple. Log in to MySQL as user root and drop the database: drop database zm; Dropping the database will loose all events There is a mechanism to prevent multiple database creation in zm_database_init. The messages states out to the right direction but doesn't tel...

Hi, I forgot to add one more thing which changed with the use of systemd: To enable mysql, apache2 and ZoneMinder at boot time you should use systemctl enable apache2.service systemctl enable mysql.service systemctl enable zm.service I guess the wiki also needs an update here too :) Hope this helps ...

Hi,

you are right, by using systemd the default output is redirected to /var/log/messages. I wrote a notice for that to the howto in the wiki. To set up a root password by running mysql_secure_installation. Then proceed with the regular steps.

Hope this helps

Hi, ZoneMinder has an own apache conf file. Please verify that it located in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ or in an other proper location for your apache installation. You should restart apache2 after the ZoneMinder installation so that this file gets read. The file should have the following contents (replac...

Hi, it looks like the Config table is broken. Easiest way is to reinstall the database. You can do this by dropping the zm database (in mysql enter drop database zm) and dump the file zm_create.sql in (http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS#Configure_MySQL). I don't know enough about the ac...

Hi,

Hi, Dec 31 18:40:14 xal9001 zmpkg[4230]: INF [Command: start] Dec 31 18:40:14 xal9001 zmpkg[4239]: INF [Command: stop] I guess that this is the root of the problem. Maybe systemd kills the first process when invoking the stop command which will cause the database corruption. I could reproduce the da...

Hi, I discovered this issue too. It looks like it has something to do with parallel calls of zmpkg.pl. I don't know why but it will recreate the contents of the Config table which isn't good when it runs parallel. This can happen during rpm upgrade as there is a double call of via systemd which will...
