upgraded to perl 5.8.8/mysql then the error started, i thought it was mysql_connect & mysql_pconnect that gave me the error cus the www-zm looks like this:

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /var/www/zm/zm_db.php on line 27
Could not connect to database: Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Zm 1.23.2 btw..

some one else how has this error?

I had the same problem, I think the post-install scripts on Debian haven't been tested for all conditions. I manually created the DB, assigned permissions and set the zm.conf file correctly. Now the system works fine, but I still have the shared memory errors.

Why oh why did I move from locally compiled to packaged versions!!?!??!?

Can you give me a bit more information about your setup before installing the package? I assume you had zoneminder installed manually. The database from your old install was still there?

And which "shared memory errors" are you referring to?

The fact you've got stuff in /usr/local/ makes me think at least some of your installation is manual. Is this correct? If so, which bits are installed from package, which parts installed manually.

And what's the base system? Debian (which) or Ubuntu (which)?

Check your zm.conf and make sure you have the correct database name, user name, and password as you had originally configured.
