where do I change zms path?

[tim@pcs-alaska.com]

okay I stopped both apache and zm then deleted the logs.

now the zmdc.log:

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/zmfilter.pl line 124.

and the /var/log/apache/error.log:
zoneminder:/var/log/apache# cat /var/log/apache/error.log

I don't know what to make of this....

Ok Tim now ill need to ask u a few questions hehe. :

1. Did u install ZM from source or from some package. ??
2. If you installed from source, what was your --web-user and --web-group set to. ?
3. Can u run other scripts from the cgi-bin dir from your browser. ?

That should do fro now, and no iam not an Derbian expert but apache should be the same on allmost all platforms.

[tim@pcs-alaska.com]

Apache runs under www-data as the user in Debian. So that is what I used for user and group.

I compiled myself.

How do I test running a script from the cgi-bin?

[cordel]

You need to install the perl module dateManip

[voronwe]

Ok the first 1 is easy. goto this site and download the Date/Manip.pm compile it and install it. : http://cpansearch.perl.org/~sbeck/DateManip-5.42a/

When u have downloaded it unpack it into any dir, enter the datemanip dir and run the following command : perl ./Makefile.PL

if that command goes well run : make
And if that goes well run : make install

Whan that is done try stopping the deamons again and delete the logs and restart the deamons.

[tim@pcs-alaska.com]

Okay,

zoneminder:/downloads/Zoneminder/zm-1.21.0# apt-cache search Date-Manip

libdate-manip-perl - a perl library for manipulating dates

zoneminder:/downloads/Zoneminder/zm-1.21.0# apt-get install libdate-manip-perl

Unpacking libdate-manip-perl (from .../libdate-manip-perl_5.42a-3_all.deb) ...
Setting up libdate-manip-perl (5.42a-3) ...\

Okay it's installed!

Next the logs after stopping and deleting then restarting:

I have to quit for the night. I have a 3 hour drive home so I'll pick this up tomorrow. It's 11pm now and I work at 8am...

I have setup ssh and tested so I can work from home against my ZM server at the remote site.

Please continue to assit if you can, I know I'm so close to having this work!

[tim@pcs-alaska.com]

At least it's working in record mode. Maybe I can setup a trigger and test recording. I don't really need to monitor from ZM.

Then run the jobs under cron? Whats your thoughts on that?

Thanks for all you help!!

[cordel]

good now set the path for zms to /cgi-bin/zms and you should be good to go

[voronwe]

Hi Tom And Cordel

I did not forget u Tim, i have been googleling your error message, and sadly i dident find any solutions, so try out what Cordel suguested.

And yes turning in for tonight sounds like a good thing, been up for 25 hours now so iam not thginking streat anymore, but i will keep on trying to find answers to your problem.

[cordel]

Tim should be good when he finnishs the path. Just have to remember that any of the paths set for zm under the paths tab is relative to what is set as root directory for apache and not the root of the drive

[tim@pcs-alaska.com]

Yes, I have two of the three cameras working now in MONITOR mode.
Thanks for the help troubleshooting!
