Unable to update

Post by Fitch »

In zmupdate.log I have a lot of lines similar to this one:
09/07/10 23:20:05.675020 zmupdate[4110].INF [Checking for updates]
09/07/10 23:20:05.677326 zmupdate[4110].ERR [Error check failed: '500 Can't connect to www.zoneminder.com:80 (Bad hostname 'www.zoneminder.com')']

What does it mean and how can I rectify it?

Untick CHECK_FOR_UPDATES in options. Your installation is having DNS issues or not able to connect externally from your network. This is actually a good sign security wise if you have ZM setup to be intranet only.
