Look at your Apache logs.

Lots of people have Ubuntu/Apache2/ZoneMinder and I've never heard of this problem. Probably something specific to your setup.

You're not alone. I've noticed this on my install also. It seems like a bug, but I haven't had time to investigate it yet.

Cordel, the database ZM does not exist on the system... yet. Shouldn't it be created by the install process? -G MySql access is via a separate set of users maintained independently by MySql. In other words, you may run dpkg as root, but that doesn't mean root has access to MySql. So unless dpkg ...

I don't know about the other ...

It seems unrelated to ZoneMinder. Might be a driver issue. I'd focus on getting it to work with xawtv, or at least something that uses the capture size you're looking to use with ZoneMinder.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem and I'd like to make sure I understand how things should work. What's the relationship between zmdc.pl, zmc, and configured devices (image sources)?

Are you running with sufficient privileges? Try running it as root.

I had the same problem but sudoing to root worked fine.

I think I figured it out. If you look at the offending code, it has an ifdef: #ifdef HAVE_LIBSWSCALE if ( !img_convert_ctx ) { img_convert_ctx = sws_getContext( c->width, c->height, pf, c->width, c->height, c->pix_fmt, SWS_BICUBIC, NULL, NULL, NULL ); if ( !img_convert_ctx ) Fatal( "Unable to ...

I'm having a problem similar to others in this thread. I'm installing ZM from code. Here's the error during the build step: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/src/mysql/include -I/usr/lib/include -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -fno-inline -I/usr/lib/include -frepo -O2 -I/usr/src/jpeg -MT zm_mpeg.o -MD -MP ...
