zmaudit.pl <-> zmaudit.log

[A.Ottburg]

Hi all!

my installation is functionable, but my zmdc.log shows the following since this morning:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
'zmaudit.pl -d 900 -y' starting at 04/10/31 15:09:17, pid = 24794
Can't open log file: No such file or directory at /usr/local/bin/zmaudit.pl line 153.
'zmaudit.pl -d 900 -y' crashed at 04/10/31 15:09:17, exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have the same permissions in my log-directory like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-rw-r--r-- 1 wwwrun www 0 2004-10-31 15:00 zmaudit.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 wwwrun www 22036 2004-10-31 14:53 zmdc.log
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but zmaudit.pl doesn't find my zmaudit.log or can't open it even if i change permissions to
-rw-rw-rw- 1 wwwrun www 0 2004-10-31 15:00 zmaudit.log

Any suggestion?

Best regards

Andreas

Are you sure they are in the right place? Your zmdc.log says it was last modified at 14:53 but the messages you have pasted form it have a time of 15:09.

You also need to make sure that the permissions on the log directory allow creation of new files and access into it.

Phil,

Hi Phil,

the reason for the mentioned mismatch of "file-creation-times" is because i created myself a new zmaudit.log file.

My log-directory is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/srv/www/htdocs/zm/temp
drwxrwxrwx 2 wwwrun www 4096 2004-10-31 16:19 temp
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday night everything was ok. This morning I played a bit with some options. May it have any relation to the option:

ZM_OPT_FAST_DELETE When deleting events should the client only
delete the database records for speed (?)

I may be wrong but after playing with that i realized the zmaudit-crash.

Here the last output of my zmdc.log

-rw-rw-rw- 1 wwwrun www 2665 2004-10-31 16:25 zmwatch.log
------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you see all log files are up to date but not the zmaudit.log file.

Thanks for your help

Error found.

In the options dialog I switched back to the original settings:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ZM_PATH_SOCKS
Path to the various Unix domain socket files that ZoneMinder uses (?) -> /tmp (here was the wrong setting)

ZM_PATH_LOGS
Path to the various logs that the ZoneMinder daemons generate (?)
-> /tmp

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best regards

Andreas
