Code: Select all

Starting ZoneMinder: Can't connect: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 349
        ZoneMinder::Debug::Fatal('Can\'t connect: Permission denied') called at /usr/bin/zmdc.pl line 167
failure

Any ideas?

Looks like one of the daemons didn't start. Are there any corresponding messages in syslog?

Fresh install of ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 64 bit. All I had to do after installing the packages was copy /usr/share/zoneminder over to /var/www (where apache is configured, I could have also just pointed apache to the right folder I guess, lol) And then do a modprobe bttv from the command line to get my camera card bt878 adlink pcie-rtv24 card recognized.

Works great and saved me a TON of headache! (I always have issues with getting ffmpeg to play nicely with zm on ubuntu 64 bit OS. Thanks man!

Thanks for the syslog pointer! I wasn't sure where ZM was dumping its logs to.

It ended up being an old socket file from the previous 1.23 install. A simple sudo rm /tmp/zm* fixed it.

Thanks again!

with this package, how would I go about adding asf/wmv support for streaming to a windows media player client? I have an audio source that I am including in a custom html page that shows the montage view with 3 cameras. This is all for a courtroom and streaming the video to our local intranet so that court staff can watch the trials go on.

Thanks,

I have not tested upgrading from an existing 1.23.3 install yet . . . so you have been warned.

I have. Upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 at the same time. The only issue I've noticed so far was that zm_update-1.23.3.sql and zm_update-1.24.0.sql seemed to be missing, so I had to add them in from the tar.gz package before I could update the database.

Hi there,

I tried to install the package, but here is the result:

Code: Select all

cube:~# dpkg --install zoneminder_1.24.1-pre-1_i386.deb
(Lecture de la base de données... 116452 fichiers et répertoires déjà installés.)

I tried to start it manually with no success.

Code: Select all

cube:~# /etc/init.d/zoneminder restart
Stopping ZoneMinder: Zoneminder already stopped

Starting ZoneMinder: failure

Any clue? Where should I look to find why it's not starting?

I try to took a look in the logs but was not able to find anything.

Code: Select all

cube:~# ll /var/log/zm/
total 0

Thanks,

JM

I'd say it's the fact you're upgrading from 1.23.3-4 - the upgrade is going to fail. I have an updated package which includes the missing sql files (refer to a few posts up). Once I find the spare half hour to test that it upgrades OK, I'm going to push it into the debian repo.

I'm getting a similar failure on my upgrade tests - I'll look into it.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

Finally I removed the previous version (--purge) and re-installed the new one to solve the issue.

Just finished the .deb package install on lenny.
...
Took a little massage to get libavcodec52 installedafter futzing with adding/removing
...
I won't touch Ubuntu w/a 10ft cattleprod. I want all the stability I can get my hands on.

Can you elaborate how you got libavcodec52 into debian stable (lenny)?

I think this package is only available in debian unstable and I too do not wish to jeopardize the stability my server box.

-thanks

Woohoo !!!

Packages for ubuntu jaunty are in

ftp://ftp.northern-ridge.com.au/zonemin ... ntu/jaunty

Same warning as for the Debian packages.

Packages for earlier versions for Ubuntu will take a touch longer due to ffmpeg versions . . .

This works on 9.10 Karmic (i386) as well. Whoever made the Ubuntu packages, THANKYOU ! I had been previously struggling with compiling from source, no joy.

Don't know if I had satisfied dependencies from a previous install of Ubuntu stable package ZM1.24.1 but the install went smooth as a baby's butt.

Then copied contents of /usr/share/zoneminder to the web root. chmodded and chowned them www-data and was almost ready to go. Note: Symlink to cgi-bin must be recreated.

Now lets play with this puppy. First impression, much faster than 1.24.1

Any chance next release to have a second package compiled with libjpeg-turbo. Rather or in addition to the normal one.

The key issue there is whether it gets packaged for Debian/Ubuntu. At the moment I don't see a package for it in Debian Unstable.

Thanks for putting this together. I have tried to compile from source in the past and run into all sorts of bother.

One quick question though, is this version compiled with memory map enabled or does it still use the memory settings in sysctl.conf?

Thanks
