ZoneMinder Forums

Thank you it's running again.

I did this on Ubuntu 14.04 machine, took me to: jmcgee@burn:/etc/php/7.0$ uname -a Linux burn 4.4.0-47-generic #68-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 26 19:39:52 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux And top on that machine shows: Tasks: 146 total, 1 running, 145 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 5.9 us, 0.1 ...

Thank you.

Now that I have 1.29 on Ubuntu 140.04 running, I thought before I added cameras I would point it towards a internal drive I have dedicated for zoneminder events and images. I used this guide: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_dedicated_Hard_Drive the drive is mounted at /mnt/data1 This is what I ...

You are absolutely right. I edited init.d/zoneminder as you said and I did not have the error.

And for what it is worth, I don't see how this is not broken for anyone else following that wiki. I did two fresh installs, never varying from the wiki (other than setting static ip in /etc/network/interfaces. Both installs had the same error. And the ending bracket is missing from the text to ...

I found this
https://askubuntu.com/questions/544794/ ... untu-12-04

It (temporarily) fixed my installation (At least this problem, but is not a good solution long term.

OK, I stick the bracket on end of the init.d file and it started the service. But I have the same error after fresh install exactly by the page at https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_14.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.29.0_the_easy_way 2016-02-10 20:33:30.772030 zmpkg 5245 FAT Can't create missing ...

OK, now on fresh install. Here's a problem, I think I've had everytime I've used the wiki. It complains about some brackets missing in init.d/zoneminder. Maybe I am not editing the file correctly. service apache2 restart root@burn:/home/jmcgee# service zoneminder start /etc/init.d/zoneminder: 96 ...

I did go by the wiki, but it seems that fresh install is my only option left. jmcgee@Burn:/etc/init.d$ cat zoneminder #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: zoneminder # Required-Start: $network $remote_fs $syslog # Required-Stop: $network $remote_fs $syslog # Should-Start: mysql # Should-Stop ...

I have posted this issue in the 1.29 forum as this has to do with 1.29.

I started this in the 1.28 forum when it was suggested I should install 1.29 on 14.04. cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l Installed 1.29 and it installed with no errors. The webpage comes up, but Zoneminder does not start. In the log I see: 2016-02-10 06:02:42.403760 zmpkg 2457 FAT Can't create ...

I changed both fields to /run/shm and still get the error.

I changed PATH_SWAP Path to location for temporary swap images used in streaming (?) to /run/shm. Same error: 2016-02-09 21:23:40.022910 zmpkg 1745 FAT Can't create missing temporary directory '/var/run/zm': Permission denied Again the only field in paths that has /var/run/zm PATH_SOCKS Path to the ...

I'm confused. in Options/Path, the only field set to /var/run/zm is
PATH_SOCKS Path to the various Unix domain socket files that ZoneMinder uses (?)

Is that the correct path to change to /run/shm ?
