Execute lspci: it shows the installed pci devices. Could also try modprobe bt878 &/or lsmod.

Thanks, but this method of accessing cpan doesn't usually work for me. -------------------------------------------------- eg. Trying with "/usr/bin/lynx -source" to get http://cpan.mirrors.ilisys.com.au/modules/03modlist.data.gz Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz Going to ...

I'm after the X10::ActiveHome I think. Whatever is needed to get ZM to build with X10 enabled.

Sounds good. I gave up on this system the first time I looked at it & that was all that was wrong. Limitations with Motion led to my having another go.
Don't suppose anyone can tell me where to get the X10 components from?

Haven't had time to test it but looks like magic_quotes_runtime=On in php.ini is the problem. Unless you can override this setting at runtime eg. init_set(magic_quotes_runtime,0) without affecting other applications perhaps changing getEnumValues() is desirable.

I believe it is version 5.024a. I have the same problem with an older version too. I compiled the 5.024 from sources. Seems the php function preg_match_all() in getEnumValues() is given strings containing backslashes before the quotes. You can fix it by stripping the backslashes out of $enum_values ...

An old problem I had in changing the Function of a Monitor to something other than None (eg. Mocord, Modect etc.) is still occurring in latest release. The problem seems to be that the output of the call to foreach ( getEnumValues( 'Monitors', 'Function' ) as $opt_function ) line 516 in zm_html_view ...

I was thinking in more technical terms: ie. what additions are made to which database tables (if any), what processes are stopped/started, what parameters etc. Looks to me at this point that something isn't happening to the database ... but is it a DB problem or a problem with the process meant to ...

I did have libavformat.a & .so installed.

Can anyone give any clues on what exactly is supposed to happen when a camera is switched into a 'monitor' or other non None state?

The main cause of my lack of vision seems to have been the configuration of ZM_PATH_ZMS = /cgi-bin/nph-zms (this was I believe the unchanged setting of the installation). Setting it = /cgi-bin/zms clears things up quite a bit : I can now see something. javascript:emoticon(':shock:') I updated ...

It seems to start OK but I can't verify anything else since I can' get the rest of it working. That's not quite true but in effective terms it is. There doesn't appear to be any way I can switch a camera on: when put into monitor or any other mode zmdc gives the message it can't find any process ...

Now I understand why not everyone else isn't having the same trouble: one of the values in zm.conf contains whitespace : ie. ZM_PATH_BUILD=/usr/src/disks/home automation/ZoneMinder-1.22.0 : this doesn't get parsed properly & hence returns name & value either unset or null at line 80. I ?suggest ...

Well, I'm back to where I started. Unfortunately I don't speak perl so this is not easy for me. The earlier version of ZM 1.21 didn't have a Config.pm which makes comparison difficult. I have managed to get the 1.21 running but there are still issues w.r.t the loading of the initial ZM database: it ...

Part of the problem seems to be capabilities of the webuser name : nobody has no login shell. There are other issues. I have gotten the 1.21 version to at least start but I now find a message call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/htdocs/ZM/zm_db.php. Does anyone know where this ...

Think zm.sock should be created under /var/run/zm : made it world writable. I can't see where the path to zm.sock is specified? Can't find a zm.sock on the system. There was an error in the specification of the web directory: should have been /var/www/htdocs/ZM was /var/www/htmldocs/ZM: still doesn ...
