[SOLVED]Can you tell me how to fix the ZM Debian package?

Hi...

I get these errors installing ZM onto a debian box:

Code: Select all

Does anyone know how to fix creating a ZM data base?

What about the PERL script errors?

I'm a bit new at this, but if I can fix this, I'll look into submitting it so other Debian users can use the Debian ZoneMnider package.

-thanks

Wow, I don't know if everyone is stumped, nobody is here or Debian is not the way to go when setting up a zoneminder box...

But, with the help of the packager and others else where I've got ZM installed on the box which gave the above problems.

In short, there were *zoneminder* files left lying around which, I assume, gave the Debian package installer problems. Most were broken links with the following name: "/etc/rc?.d/*zoneminder.conf" Note the use of UNIX wild card characters as this represents about half a dozen different files. Other files I removed which might have been the problem:
/etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf
/var/lib/update-rc.d/zoneminder
/var/cache/apt/archives/zoneminder_1.24.2-2.1_i386.deb

If you have similar problems and the above is not enough detail post as I'll try to monitor this thread.

-thanks
