Problem with installation - archlinux

[TheTester]

Hello
I need some help with installing zoneminder on archlinux. There is package in AUR but at the end of install process I got this:

Code: Select all

==> You must edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment/add the line
==> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
==> You must also add these lines:
==> Include conf/extra/php5_module.conf
==> Include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-zm.conf
touch: cannot touch `/var/lib/zm/zm_backup.sql': No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

When I try to execute installation again script finds previous installation and try to upgrade but without success:

Code: Select all

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

/tmp/alpm_bhwugV/.INSTALL: line 53: /usr/lib/zm/bin/zmupdate.pl: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

Could you tell me what should I do to find what is causing those problems?

I've also noticed this at begging of installation:

Code: Select all

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
pwd: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

It's seems that there was problem with /var/lib/zm beacuse this dir wasn't present at the time of installation and touch can't create dirs.
Installation was successful...now I had to check if it works...

Now, whenever I try to execute /etc/rc.d/zm start, I get this:

Code: Select all

Upgrade %s database:  ZoneMinder
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Table 'zoneminder.Logs' doesn't exist at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/ZoneMinder/Logger.pm line 609.

I have DB installed and I changed zm.conf so I have no idea what's going on.

[TheTester]

Blah...my fault. I had DB installed from previous attempts and it didn't contained all tables.

But right now I get:

Code: Select all

:: Starting ZoneMinder                                              [BUSY]
/etc/rc.d/zm: line 111: /usr/lib/zm/bin/zmpkg.pl: No such file or directory                                                                   [FAIL]

Which is correct in a way that this..hm...file really doesn't exist. Why? Shouldn't it be there after installation? Can I copy it from src?

Find where do you have zmpkg.pl, then modify your zm startup script for the path where the zm python scripts are.

Hope it helps,

[TheTester]

The funny thing is...I can't find it anywhere...So what should I do? There is no zmpkg.pl in src either but it probably correct as it's not compiled. Any suggestions?

[PacoLM]

If these scripts are not anywhere, I believe the installation has not been made properly, or you are searching the file from another user, not root.
