Yeah. First thing, try a build from distribution source, no ebuild, and see if that works. If yes, then see where the ebuild diverges. The failure mode is wierd. The service starts ok, but the UI is completely busted. There appears to be something wrong with the way ZM is setting things up for the ...

Well . . . . gentoo always builds everything from source . . . . :D But it's possible the ebuild in the oubliette overlay I'm using is doing something funny. I haven't investigated that. I haven't tried simply downloading the ZM source and doing a vanilla build from it. I guess that's the next thing ...

Has anybody gotten modern ZM to install on Gentoo recently? It seems to have been dropped from the Gentoo portage tree. There's an overlay called "oubliette" which still contains 1.34.24 and 1.36.4, but neither one seem to be working. If there are current Gentoo/ZM users out there, I'd love to ...

Yeah, you're right. I wonder how that happened?

Thanks for the hint. I tried it and things seem back to normal. Thanks!

I'm running 1.32.2 I have a similar issue to the one described in https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?t=28746 My event totals per time bucket on the console screen are not being updated. The events are there; if I click on the out-of-date numbers I see them all, it looks like it's just the ...

Bump

Any wisdom? What are the "right" config options to get the DB log to automatically stay pruned?

I'm running a cron job which goes straight to the DB and deletes old events from that deletes old rows from Logs, but it seems like there ought to be a better way.

I'm having a similar problem.

My DB log if left unattended just keeps growing. I have my log retention setting set to "1 day". zmaudit.pl is running regularly, but it never seems to get around to deleting old log entries. There are no errors in the (file) log.

Hints?

Ok, I sort of fixed it. Running zmc under the debugger revealed that it would start capturing, and streaming a monitor started working. So I dug into why zmc wasn't starting at all. I found https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=25382&p=97009&hilit=multiserver#p97009 which gave me some ...

Yeah, I've been using those. I've gotten several things sorted out, including apache permissions. (At least part of) ZM appears to be starting. But now I'm not capturing any events. At present, I'm fairly sure the root of the problem is that zmc instances are not starting. I can review old events ...

Thanks. This has turned into more of a rat-hole than I hoped :( Since I posted, I've tried a number of things, but so far am still stuck. In the process I upgraded to ZM 1.30.0. I also cut over to Apache 2.4.25. I upgraded all my configs (I think) to match the 2.4 permission scheme, but I'm still ...

I don't think this is a 1.28.x issue, but that's what I'm running, so I put it here. I've been running 1.28.1 for a while, on a gentoo server. I recently updated some other OS/utility stuff on that machine, and ZM's ability to stream video has broken. It's still capturing and recording events fine ...
