Config mismatch after upgrading from rc2 to rc3

[pestes]

I just upgraded from RC2 to RC3 and I can't see any videos (JPEG). I just see a broken link icon in my browser.

I also see this in the logs when I try to view videos:

Jan 12 12:09:17 src@hostname zmu[5999]: ERR [Config mismatch, expected 163 items, read 161. . Try running zmconfig.pl to reload config.]
Jan 12 12:09:27 src@hostname zmu[6011]: ERR [Config mismatch, expected 163 items, read 161. . Try running zmconfig.pl to reload config.]

Of course, there is no zmconfig.pl anymore. Any ideas?

Did you remember to do

you will need to run zmupdate.pl -f to freshen your database

?

[pestes]

I missed that step.

It might be worth changing the Config mismatch error message though now that zmconfig.pl is gone.

Thanks again,
Paul

Yes, you are right about that

[zoneminder]

Also, ordinarily you wouldn't run zmupdate.pl -f as such. The same functionality is included in just a regular update between versions. It's just a bit of a hack for scenarios liek this where all that you want to do is reload the configuration.

where does zmupdate get the zm db username from? It's not using the one I set in zm.conf...

It will get it from the installed zm.conf UNLESS there is another zm.conf in the current directory when it will get it from there instead.

Ah, that explains it

Just tried from elsewhere, and it's works fine

Cheers,

I have just put a warning in for when this happens, as I think it might be confusing.
