resolved the php permission problem (move the sessions to /tmp and resolve it)
UPDATE:
Resolved!
was a config in php.ini (the <? are the short tags... i've to set my
server to accept short tags and this was resolved

unable at the moment to resolve the absence on browsers of any info
on index.php page..
Going to localhost/index.php and i see only :
Zoneminder - -
and 4 buttons with :
<?= $zmSlangRefresh ?> <?= $zmSlangAddnewmonitor ?>
and so on..
damn, maybe is the & that i add on compile.. cause maybe.. it will pass
the name of variables insteat of string? i try now to remove my stupid
modifies

I've downloaded also the latest ffmpeg svn.. hope this resolve..
hi there,
i'm looking for a bit of help cause compiling from source i've zm 1.23.1 i've an error like this one:
zm_mpeg.cpp:281: error: cannot convert 'ByteIOContext' to 'ByteIOContext*' for argument '1' to 'int url_fclose(ByteIOContext*)'
zm_mpeg.cpp: In member function 'double VideoStream::EncodeFrame(uint8_t*, int, bool, unsigned int)':
zm_mpeg.cpp:325: warning: 'img_convert' is deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h:2410)
zm_mpeg.cpp:325: warning: 'img_convert' is deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h:2410)
make[2]: *** [zm_mpeg.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tgz/ZoneMinder-1.23.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tgz/ZoneMinder-1.23.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2
now, looking on row 281 of the zm_mpeg.cpp i find that the assignment of t ByteIOContext work if i pass with & (address? don't remember, my C knowledge is rusty..) mean that a & was forgotten?
i read in other thread that the problem is the version of ffmpeg (mine is of 2007-10-12 maybe is old?
but changing the & the make goes on and success.
at least, i've some other problem after, and i cant resolve at the moment..
but i think is a permission problem (just at the moment i didn't realize where i have to act to resolve it

zm start correctly, but on the index page i've just a white page with only 4 button without the correct name (just some sort of variables of lang_name) and looking at the error_log of apache i find :
[Tue Feb 12 03:14:27 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: open(/var/lib/php/sess_tvfmnht65lndt0arumn2sh6eh0, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /var/www/htdocs/zm.php on line 155

what the hell.. (this is my first attemp on slack12 .. i usually in past use the slack10.2 and work good..)
someone know what changes are needed in php or apache conf or maybe is just the modify i did on the zm_mpeg.cpp that block all (i doubt it..but who know?)
thanks
