ZoneMinder Forums

Philip, Just wanted you to know that ZomeMinder is impressing people left, right and centre here at the University of Calgary. I recently deployed it in a secure computing facility here; yesterday we had an alarm go off in the lab, campus security came, and in no time I was able to bring up and show ...

Hi All, When going to peruse a monitor's events (clicking on the number in the 'events' column), I never get a page - but apparently only when there is over a certain number of events. For instance, ther were 2 events in the hour column, and I was able to bring up that page and clear the events ...

Woo, forgot to write back that all was well - It turns out that the LANG variable, set in /etc/sysconfig/i18n (RedHat 9) was set to "en_CA.UTF-8" or some such. setting this to "C" was all it needed, and now I'm off to the races! CPAN worked like a charm after that. I'm loving ZoneMinder - So does ...

Hi,

Depending on what Disto/release you're running, you'll need to install (in the case of RedHat 9) the php-mysql package. (Currently 4.2.2-17.2)

Hope this helps,
Erik.

Well, I'm an airhead... I haven't got Zip.pm - and What's currently on CPAN (1.0.6) won't compile on my machine. So I'm going insane.

Any perl experts out there?

I'm in the same situation. REdHat 9, with two Logitech quickcam pro 4000's. 'zmu -d 0 -q -v' detects all, but 'zmc --device 0' segfaults. zmwatch.log contains a bunch of: Can't get shared memory id: No such file or directory and: Watchdog starting at 03/08/27 19:58:14 Watchdog pausing for 30 seconds ...

/me shakes his head

You'd think that for all the poking around I did that I'd check to see that the place I specified for the logs was actually writable by the apache user. I had it group-writable, but that didn't suffice. I changed it to /tmp and am done with it.

Onwards and upwards.

Hi All, I saw a blurb elsewhere about trying to start the server/console via the web and nothing happening. for me, running as the apache user, I get the following: -- snip, snip -- bash-2.05b$ /usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl start zmwatch.pl Unable to connect, starting server Can't open log file: Permission ...

I hit the same problem - Seeing Philip's post I poked around in the db and sure enough there wasn't anything there - I did run 'perl ./zmconfig.pl' previously though - zmconfig.txt existed - It may be of note that I hit 'x' to use the defaults once the core options were set. Anyhow, running 'perl ...
