Err: ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance system

[chebo]

Hello. I am using version v1.31.44. I have problems with the cameras through vpn. At 1.34, there seems to be no such problem.

I tried to update through the Deb package, repository and installation on the new system by
instruction: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_10_B ... om_ZM_Repo

In any case, an error appears in systemd:

Code: Select all

-- The process' exit code is 'exited' and its exit status is 1.

-- The unit zoneminder.service has entered the 'failed' state with result 'exit-code'.

Zm itself seems to work, but you can’t stop it through zmpkg or web. There are no errors in the zm log.

Those are procedures for new install not upgrade.

The result when installing on a clean system is the same.

Whats the content of "/lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service" ?

Try to remove the comment on the "User" line, right under [service] and then run

Code: Select all

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start zoneminder

The problem persists.

Can you provide some more log lines from daemon.log syslog, journalctl -xe ?

Also, make sure that no zm processes are running at all..
I've described the exact steps here ? BUT it might be, that the problem is NOT the same.

I did:

Code: Select all

systemctl stop zoneminder
killall /usr/bin/perl
zmupdate.pl

Apparently it just needed a reboot. Surprisingly, this solved the problem. Thank you
