I first noticed that there was nothing at all in /var/log/messages. It turns out this is a bug in the Fedora upgrade, wherein the rsyslog service is not given a proper systemd init script.
since ls /etc/systemd/system/*.wants/rsyslog.service returned no file, I enabled the service:
Code: Select all
systemctl enable rsyslog.service
Code: Select all
systemctl start rsyslog.service
Zoneminder does not start, and a restart attempt does not produce any useful information:
Code: Select all
[root@nagarjuna ~]# systemctl restart zoneminder.service
Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.
[root@nagarjuna ~]# /etc/init.d/zoneminder restart
