ZoneMinder Forums

Hello,

I tried installing the RC1 over a working install of 1.22. Now when trying to start zoneminder, I get the following error from perl:

asterisk:/usr/local/bin # zmpkg.pl start
Bareword "ZM_USE_DEEP_STORAGE" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/ZoneMinder/General.pm line 127.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/ZoneMinder.pm line 35.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/ZoneMinder.pm line 35.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 45.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 45.

The error seems pretty straightforward to me, but please let me know if I am doing something wrong. Also please let me know if you need more debug information.

Thank you!

Jean

I had the same problem, you need to run zmupdate.pl like this

zmupdate.pl -v 1.22.3 -u [user name] -p [password]

username doesnt have to be the zoneminder user, just a user with sufficient privileges.

Hope this helps

Hello,

thank you so much! That worked great.
For others reading this post, the username and password that hushpuppy is talking about is a mysql username and password.

Unfortunately 1.23 did not resolve the problem I am having trying to capture from a GS1200G, only the error message seems to be a bit more detailed in 1.23 than in 1.22.3.

Not sure if I should continue this disussion here or downgrade back to 1.22.3 and discuss in the other forum?

For info, the error message log I'm getting is:

Yet the stream from the camera works fine at /cgi-bin/getimage.cgi?motion=1 if I look at it from Firefox.

The headers shown with WGET are:

I tried Zoneminder with both regexp and no regexp, as well as HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 as mentionned in other posts with no luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, or let me know if I should repost this in a different forum.

Thank you again for the quick reply to my initial problem. I wish I had posted I week ago, but I figured I would just wait for an RC2 and it would resolve my problem

Jean

thank you so much! That worked great.

No problem thats why i visit the forum, not just for help, but to give it too.

As for downgrading, youve another option, why not use my live cd ( http://www.doubleburgerbar.com/watchdog ), and use that instead for testing, it leaves your current installation intact, and doesnt require a hard drive.

Running zm 1.22.3 and trying to update to 1.23.x or 1.24.x, and this suggestion sounds great but throws the same error as starting ZM:

[root@glutton ZoneMinder-1.24.1]# zmupdate.pl -v 1.22.3 -u zmuser -p zmpass

I have Exactly the same problem.

Anyone found a solution for it?

The database is quite full of relatively important events, users etc. so I cant really go and delete it.

Yep. For some reason or other the SQL to add the appropriate entry has escaped the normal string of updates. You'll need to do it by hand.

In db/zm_create.sql, find the line which starts:
Then go into mysql and run that one insert manually:
Then go back and re-try your update...
