frustrating zm.php problem

[blondito]

Well this is a strange problem cant find any mention of it anywhere either ...

I have just installed ZM on a debian box , seemed to all go fine but when I try and browse to the /zm.php file via any browser (and I mean any and on all platforms) instead of loading the php the browser trys to or does download the zm.php script file .. anyone got any ideas ?

Also the zm init script is reporting a bad interpretor problem with #! /bin/sh I tried #! /bin/bash and still no go (never ever seen that error before on a linux box) .. wierd ..

had the same thing on my box, it would open it up and show the coding in the browser, or in a different browset it would ask me to download it.

i had to add in php support to my apache, then it worked

Hi Xris,

It sounds like it's not actually starting up correctly check <a href="http://www.zoneminder.com/forum_general ... =242">this thread</a> for some tips on what to try.
