HELP - recent ubuntu update uninstalled zoneminder

Post by barrydocks »

just ran an update on ubuntu 8.04 LTS and the apache update has uninstalled zoneminder and dropped the mysql databaser. What is worse is I can't get apche to run after the reinstall Here are the errors:

Code: Select all

root@Fileserver:~# apache2ctl restart
Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder:
Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Also there is no zm directory in the www directory anymore!

Thanks :cry:

After this I've tried to reinstall zoneminder with apt-get:
