Disk Usage: -1%

[stefano_noffke]

Greetings,

I am having problems with my fresh installation of Zoneminder.

I installed ZoneMinder on a Ubuntu 10.04 Server using the packages provided with the repositories. Everything worked fine, but when I open the Web interface the Console appears to be "Stopped" and I cannot start it.

The ZoneMinder service is running and it starts at boot.

I cannot find anything on the logs about this issue.

The only thing that is strange is that the system cannot monitor the load and disk usage. On the top-right corner of the Web console it says: "Load: / Disk: -1%"
It seems to me that the Console does not start because it cannot read the disk usage properly, but I could not find a way to make it work.
I tried changing the paths to store the images, events, and sound, but it did not solve the problem.

This is my disk usage:

Here is the zm.conf file:

I tried to install ZoneMinder on a PC, and it works perfectly from there...

Do you know what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance.

I found the problem.

Zoneminder needs the php functions "exec" and "shell_exec" to be available. For security reasons those functions were disabled in php.ini.

Enabling those functions again solved the problem.



Thank you.

Open the php.ini file, and look for the following directive:

"disable_functions = "

You should delete the "exec" and "shell_exec" references there.

Look in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
