[SOLVED] continuous alarm state when nothing is happening

[jnoake]

Just upgraded OS from Fedora 17 to 19.
Some issues with Apache access to folders - resolved
changed :
kernel.shmall = 262144
kernel.shmmax = 268435456
in sysctl.conf

output of ipcs -lm:
------ Shared Memory Limits --------
max number of segments = 4096
max seg size (kbytes) = 262144
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 1048576
min seg size (bytes) = 1

using an IP DCS-930L.

It all worked well prior to upgrade, now I can see live view, set zones, playback recordings all seems to be ok, except constant alarm state.
(Zones have been reset)
Reference Image Blend %ge set at 5% - if this is set at 10% it does not detect anything at all.

Seems that there was something missing from the database.
I uninstalled zoneminder, dropped the zm database dropped database user zmuser.

Reinstalled zoneminder, imported the SQL script and changed the zoneminder.conf thusly:

Code: Select all

Alias /zm "/usr/share/zoneminder/www"
<Directory "/usr/share/zoneminder/www">
    Options -Indexes +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
       # Apache 2.4
       Require all granted
    </IfModule>
#    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
        # Apache 2.2
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
#    </IfModule>
    # The code unfortunately uses short tags in many places
    php_value short_open_tag 1
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/zm "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin"
<Directory "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride All
    Options ExecCGI
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
       # Apache 2.4
       Require all granted
    </IfModule>
#    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
        # Apache 2.2
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
#    </IfModule>
</Directory>

It does not seem logical but the old directives seem to be still required - at least on my system (Apache/2.4.6 (Fedora)), perhaps ispconfig3 has something to do with it.

and then added my camera and re-established config options.
I also found that the 'fast' detection modes do not show outlined what triggered the alarm in the 'stills' view - alarms based on 'blobs' do.

Anywhoo, its all working now, although the default capture was too sensitive for outdoor use.
