Zoneminder 1.24.3/1.24.4 on Fedora 15

[danodemano]

Good evening all!

Last night I needed to scratch and itch and upgrade my Fedora 14 box to Fedora 15. For the most part the upgrade went well but I have a few things that need worked out, Zoneminder being one of them.

On Fedora 14 I had installed the ZoneMinder RPM from RPMFusion and this worked great. When the box upgraded it did upgrade ZoneMinder as well to version 1.24.3 (it was running 1.24.2) but the install seems broken. I am unable to start the zoneminder service from /etc/init.d/zoneminder and can find almost zero logs. I get this in the /var/log/messages:

Code: Select all

Jun  3 18:56:22 fedoraserver systemd[1]: Unit zoneminder.service entered failed state.

and this if I do a '/etc/init.d/zoneminder status' but nothing else useful.

Code: Select all

I then though well I will just build ZoneMinder 1.24.4 from source and go that route, but it won't even build properly. When I do the ./configure that works but when I do a make install (WITHOUT ffmpeg) it bombs:

Any help tracking down the problem(s) would be greatly appreciated cause I have had zero luck finding anything useful....and I don't really know where else to look. Thanks so much!!!

Fedora has gone strait to using system unit and dropped the sysV startscripts.
I'll be working on a new Unit start script for ZM shortly.
Mean time you can start manually with zmpkg.pl start.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I tried what you suggested however and it doesn't seem to work:

Check and make sure your database is running.

[danodemano]

The MySQL service? Yes, it's running:

Code: Select all

[root@fedoraserver ~]# service mysqld status

I don't have any trouble logging into the ZoneMinder web interface either. It just says the service is stopped at the top and I can't start it:

Same problem on Fedora 15.

What to do? Help please...

[RuZa]

Try it in a file /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/ZoneMinder/Memory/Mapped.pm
at the beginning of line 27 to put #

#use strict;

[danodemano]

Great idea, but no go:

Code: Select all

[root@fedoraserver ~]# /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl start
[root@fedoraserver ~]# 

There is no error on the command line but this is in /var/log/messages:

Code: Select all

Jun 20 20:06:40 fedoraserver zmpkg[11115]: INF [Command: start]
Jun 20 20:06:40 fedoraserver zmfix[11124]: ERR [Config mismatch, expected 197 items, read 183. Try running 'zmupdate.pl -f' to reload config.]
Jun 20 20:06:40 fedoraserver zmpkg[11115]: ERR [Unable to run "sudo -u apache /usr/bin/zmfix", output is ""]

I was afraid to run that command as I didn't know what it did. Will running this let the service start?

[KeithB]

I've not quite got it working on F15 yet but the compile errors you received are all fixed by putting
CFLAGS=-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
into the zoneminder ./configure parameters

[zoneminder]

I have done trial builds on Fedora 15 without any issue so am curious as to what is causing these problems. Are you running 32 or 64 bit?

Even though Fedora 15 has gone to systemd the existing sysv init scripts appear to still work as well.

[danodemano]

I'm running 64bit. It was an upgrade from Fedora 14 so maybe that has something to do with it?

Same problem on Fedora 15.

In perl5/vendor_perl/ZoneMinder/Memory/Mapped.pm
change

Code: Select all

my $mmap_addr = mmap( $mmap, $size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, \*MMAP );

Code: Select all

to my $mmap_addr = mmap( $mmap, $size, *PROT_READ|*PROT_WRITE, *MAP_SHARED, \*MMAP );

That should at least get zoneminder to start.

[danodemano]

Still no dice:

I tried it both ways with the use strict; commented out and with it uncommented and it throws the above error either way.

[zoneminder]

Have you tried actually running 'zmupdate.pl -f' as it suggests? It should do it automatically when you run zmpkg.pl but you can do it manually as well.

[danodemano]

I hadn't because I didn't know what it did but I just ran it and the service appears to have finally fired up:

Code: Select all

[root@fedoraserver ~]# /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl start
[root@fedoraserver ~]# /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl status
running
[root@fedoraserver ~]#

Seems to be running fine also, I can see my video. I wasn't sure about this error though if it was anything to worry about, ERR ['zmwatch.pl ' exited abnormally, exit status 9:

Thanks so much for everyone's help! Does this mean I will have to manually start it though each reboot? Thanks again.
