Filters : Help ! uninitialized value in substitution

jose · Post by **jose** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 12:51 pm

Hello all and a big thanx for your work,

I just installed my zoneminder and I get lots of trouble while trying to run filters and email notification.

Here are the errors :

Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/local/bin/zmfilter.pl line 906.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/zmfilter.pl line 708.
Sending notification email ''
Can't send email: can't build entity: no body, and not multipart

Is there a way to fix it ?

A couple of things.

1) Have to set the email config up in Options->Email?
2) Which version are you running? The errors in the first post on this thread don't correspond to culpable lines on my setup for 1.21.3.

The errors in the first post on this thread don't correspond to culpable lines for any of the past 1.2x.x versions that I have. I have dumped any builds before that.
Also please include any errors in your logs that might relate.
Regards,
Cordel

Hi Phil,

1) Yes i have set the email config in Options
2) I'm running version 1.21.3 on a CENTOS 4.1 distro (the first post as you know come from 1.19.x forum, but the problem was similar, that's why i've posted there)

Here is a copy of zmfliter.log

I think you may need a perl module.
Check and make sure you have these installed.
MIME::Lite
Net::SMTP
or
MIME::Entity

and also these
Time::HiRes
Date::Manip
Data::Dumper
Getopt::Long

Oh, buy the way don't forget to set a time restriction in your filters for mailing. I have months of video stored and while testing for your issue did just a simple two line filter. ZM has a boolen value in its database so it knows if it sent an event or not but you should set a time restriction like say the last half hour or you might end up with a thousand emails while ZM trys to comply with your filter

Hi Corey,

I already checked that all necessary PERL module are installed.
I just had some doubt about MIME::Lite that seemed not being installed, have (re)installed but I still have the same issue.
While defining more strict filter to avoid tons of mail

i got sql syntax errors. On my CENTOS 4.1 distro, i use MySQL 4.1.10a. Does ZM work fine with this version ?

Corey, Phil,

Could you please give me a way to verify that necessary PERL module are installed, to be sure that i do that the right way. As said before, i use CENTOS 4.1 (based on RHEL4)

Best regards,

Oliver

Hi Corey,

I've seen that, but my question was, how to verify that these modules are installed in my system. To be sure that i'm doing that the right way.

There are several ways do find out.
yum list *perl*

This will show you all RPMs installed and whats not installed but if you used CPAN those will not show up in the list.
I run CentOS release 3.5 and I know that all the required modules were not part of the base, updates, or extras repositories and I had to package them my self then install them (I try to stay consistant so everything is packed to install).
You could also do a locate or find *.pm and look to see if they are installed but you will need to referance perl.org to see what the modules represent.
The modules missing in 3.5 which the mail script needs are:
MIME::Lite
Net::SMTP
or
MIME::Entity
and
Data::Dumper
Getopt::Long

You should be able to see the errors for the moduals in the zm logs.

Cordel
