Great work Phil!
All streams are visible and I have yet to find any odd behaviour.
No more unusual log entries either.

After reading this thread http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4056 I tried logging in as a user, but this time I capitalized the first character of the username, lo and behold it zm worked as expected.

FWIW I also received the same error. In my case, it appears to be caused by my ignoring the errors caused using an old zmconfig.txt (1.19.5) with zmconfig.pl, and continuing with the install.

you have a bug in your script the date format you are using returns a string with a space in it. prompt$ date +%F-%r 2004-12-05-09:55:02 PM you could switch to 24 hour time prompt$ date +%F-%R 2004-12-05-21:56 or use shell expansion to escape the space touch "/home/user/zm/notification/en-$cur_date ...

Looks to me that you are missing some perl modules.

Save the following code as zm_rotate.cron and put it in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.weekly. It will compress old logs with bzip2. I not sure if zm needs to be stopped for the current log to rotate, so it is optional. #!/bin/bash #file used to control zoneminder ZM_CONTROL_CMD="/etc/init.d/zm" #ZM ...

Perhaps there may be other solutions....

Here are a couple suggestions from a fellow gentoo user.

Add 'apache2 mysql php' to your use flags and run Add the following line to /etc/conf.d/apache2

Try a search for mozilla

I tend to favor multiprocessor machines. Theoretically, with zoneminder being a collection of programs the OS should spread the processes amongst available cpus, each cpu would only need to service 4 cameras. I will check if that actually happens and post back.

You could link you logs to null. Or one of my favorites.
