They all work for me. From what country does your ip address originate from? My firewall is set to block traffic from certain countries associated with spam and other unwanted traffic. I could make an exception if you tell me where you are from.

hey knnniggett

thanks for posting such detailled instructions on installing ZM on CentOS...

I am trying to get it running on CentOS 6.5, followed the steps to the letter and using 1.27 but when I try to start the ZM service, I get a [FAILED] with nothing else...

How can I troubleshoot this? I tried with:

service zoneminder start

and /etc/init.d/zoneminder start

but both fails.

I am totally new to CentOS/RH and being used to slackware, I would generally know where to look but on CentOS I am a little lost....
Cheers!

Make sure mysql is runnning.
If you have an existing database, it will do that if you have not successfully run "sudo zmupdate.pl" first.
If your database is new, make sure you have followed the steps to create it.

[lpallard]

OK.. you were right with the DB update... now ZM starts, but I get LOTS of errors, and the live feed doesnt work.

From the logs:

/var/run/zm exists and apache has all right into it (rwx)

The source is in GREEN but the LOG is in RED.

DO you have an idea whats not right?

Thanks!!!

[knight-of-ni]

Either your Apache config is not right or your are running at too high a frame rate for your hardware.

[lpallard]

[quote]Either your Apache config is not right or your are running at too high a frame rate for your hardware.[/quote]

Apache's config was erroneous IMO.. I changed a few things and for a month or so, everything is fine now.

Now that its "working" I'd like to have ZM start monitoring and stop monitoring based on a schedule... 99% of the events are simpy me when I pass in front of the camera..

I tried searching in ZM's config and options, to no avail..

Same on the internet. I'd like ZM to start monitoring when I leave for work and stop when I come back. Should be simple enough??? The only cheap way I found would be to have CRON send

[code]service zoneminder stop[/code] or [code]zmpkg.pl stop[/code] to stop it at a specific time, and

[code]service zoneminder start[/code] or [code]zmpkg.pl start[/code] to start it at a specific time...

Is there a function in ZM for this??

Thanks!

Hi all,

My 1.26.4 was giving me troubles and I couldn't figure out what was going on. So I decided to start a clean reinstall.

Just followed the instructions to install 1.27.0-1.el6.i686 but yum reports dependency errors. Don't know how to deal with this, but this is the relevant output:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any leads how to proceed? Thanks.

[lpallard]

Good luck with that!

My experience has shown that it is caused by mixing software from different repos...

CentOS really HATES that!

Repos are cool but not properly configured, dangerous,

My own centos server will need restart fron scratch because of that same reason..

First, follow the instructions in the first post of this thread that describes how to set up all three repos if you have not already. Don't skip any steps!
Second, follow the instructions under the troubleshooting section for resolving the conflicts.
Basically, you need to remove the vlc and ffmpeg packages from rpmforge already on your system and then let yum grab the newer versions of these packages from the rpmfusion repo.

[swiftflic]

Thanks for the feedback, I tried to follow the first post. But apparently I forgot to enable the rpmfusion-free-updates repository, when setting priorities. I was actually able to install after that!

But now after a clean install my log looks like this:

[knight-of-ni]

"Can't Bind" means that zoneminder was unable to create a socket. This can be caused by file/folder permissions, attempting to start a second instance of zoneminder, and/or stale files lying around from a previous installation.

However, looking at the big picture, you've managed to get your system into an unknown state.
This could easily turn into a game of whack-a-mole where you solve one problem only for another to pop-up.
The best thing to do would be to get your system back to a default, clean state and then start over.

[swiftflic]

Well it did cost me a night of decent sleep, but I worked it out in the end (it was a permissions issue). It is running, but in the interface it tells me it is 1.26.5?

Also live video to my browser and phone is not working. I get the following message:

Code: Select all

	Unable to load monitor id -1 for streaming	/builddir/build/BUILD/ZoneMinder-1.27.0/src/zm_stream.cpp

Does anyone have experience with this? I also don't see the image when I want to edit a zone. It seems that /var/cache/zoneminder/images/Zones1.jpg is not created. How can I debug that?

Thanks

[swiftflic]

...this system is really starting to piss me off. Every version update I spend 2 weeks to solve all the issues. It is still not running correctly over here and now I even lost my 'log' butten in the web interface.
