Can't start zonminder

[barrydocks]

Had a server crash last night, not sure why but after reboot I can't start zm. getting this error message:

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/zoneminder start
Starting ZoneMinder: Can't change permissions on log file: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl line 55
failure

Have tried setting permissions on the /var/log/zm directory to 777 but no better.

Line 55 of /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl looks like:

Code: Select all

zmDbgInit( DBG_ID, level=>DBG_LEVEL );

If I comment out line 55 then I get the following message:

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/zoneminder start
Starting ZoneMinder: Can't change permissions on log file: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl line 99
failure

If I comment out line 99 as well then zoneminder starts but I can't log in?


Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
