Shared Memory Issue X86_64 - PLS HELP

[wildpossum]

I am unable to get ZM working correctly == it bombs out always complaining about unallocated/unlinked shared memory issues.

I am running:
Fedora FC8 + all yum updates.
ZM = 1.23.1 built from Source.
Kernel 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 #1 SMP Mon Jan 14 22:07:11 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My shared memory allocation is:
[root@ringtail ZoneMinder-1.23.1]# sysctl -A |grep shm
kernel.shmmax = 33554432
kernel.shmall = 134217728
kernel.shmmni = 4096
vm.hugetlb_shm_group = 0

The only open socket is:
[root@ringtail ZoneMinder-1.23.1]# ls -l /tmp/*sock
srwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 0 2008-02-09 12:03 /tmp/zmdc.sock

I ONLY start/stop ZM from the web page, and my Web User:Group is configured as apache.

My config commands were:
./configure --with-libarch=lib64 --with-extralibs=-lmp3lame --with-mysql=/usr --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local --with-webdir=/var/www/html --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-webuser=apache --with-webgroup=apache --enable-crashtrace=yes --enable-debug=yes ZM_DB_HOST=ringtail.wildpossum.com ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zmuser ZM_DB_PASS=XXXX

Make, Make install where built and Mysql DB setup - correctly.
I have set DEBUG = 3 for _zmc and ZM-Logs say:

You will notice from TOP that the zmdc.PL process is always generating more of itself [ONLY AFTER seeing problems with shared memory access], (probably because it is in SLEEP state and can't get out of it) and hence no one (including root) is able to shutdown ZM, only option left is to reboot the machine which isn't the best method. Any solution to this too?


Can anyone suggest further what may be the problem(s)?

I have compiled a list of things to check for, (including writing my very own source test for shared memory creation, allocation/deallocation which works OK) all from the last years postings and I can't see what else to try.

[wildpossum]

In case you may think the ZM DB is corrupted, I had dropped, re-created and re-installed the ZM DB. If you maybe suspect the monitor device def. wherein is the DB/Monitor printout:


Hope this may assist further.
Thanks.

What is your capture device?
Have you bumped up debug?
zmwatch is only one of the many involved logfiles, what do the others say?
This looks to me to be zmc bombing out because the capture device is not correctly configured but will not know with out the correct logs.

These are the logs, as first mentioned.
I had set /Web/ZM/Config/Debug to 3, with debugging ON, and above is all I get.


My Video device(s) are simple B&W 320x240 camera(s).

Hope this makes me config a little clearer.

Okay, Thats interesting. You sould not have empty log files for zmdc or zmpkg.
Permissions issue maybe
What about the messages log
What about debug logs

[wildpossum]

1> As pointed out already, the ZM Logs do work, but there contents was only what I have already posted. That was all that was in them.

2> There is nothing of ZM interest in the /var/log/message file.

3> Contents of the ZM Debug file is zero.

Are you sure [ could you please verify ] that Debug directives saved via the web->ZM->Config->Debug Menu actually work??? They are stored in the MySQL table OK, but the debug levels don't change the log contents.

Anyhow, the ZM system is now RUNNING.

What is Different? -- NOTHING other than that I have started ZM at the localhost machine (upstairs), rather than from a remote firefox browser (Mac under XOS) here downstairs.

Boy this is very very strange indeed! - Maybe it is a Firefox issue ??
Mac XOS Firefox release is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Thanks for your assistance. I really hope my problems don't return.

[zoneminder]

If you change debug levels you have to restart the relevant processes so that they pick up the changes in case that wasn't obvious.

[wildpossum]

OK. That is what I missed. Thamks.
