Check zone.conf or zm.conf. Check that there are no bogus vesions of this file
lying around. "nobody" doesn't have shell access, choose a different Apache alias like
"httpd". The zmdc.log logs any errors.
zm.sock file must be able to be created.

Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are two things that must be done to get ZM running,
1) is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it.
Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put. Second make sure the path exists. Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start.
*OpenSSl and openssl-devel
You should have these packages installed: openssl,openssl-devel,php-mysql
To check if you have them, do rpm -qa | grep openssl

database repair
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... base+mysql
Mysql corrupted via bad BIOS.
I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully. The system is now running; I'm going to let it be and see if it dies as it did before.
*My personal recommendation is to try converting your database over to INNODB tables.
Researching the web I found this to be faster for larger tables (as events grow) and much more reliable.

Edit your /etc/modprobe.conf file and add this line: options bttv card=77
"options bttv card =77" is a DEFAULT setting to get a card working.

I guess you are using the default module supplied with centos. I think, not sure about this though, that it is missing some capabilities. So I installed the pwc module (http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/INSTALL.en) and these crashes stopped.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.
