updated Zoneminder 1.28 (which I built from source) to 1.29 (built from source), version in browser listed as 1.28 still

[legoman666]

Any ideas? Its working fine and I know it updated, because the Google Captcha options are there.

Your best bet is to start over with a clean install and use one of the ready made packages. I can recommend Centos 7 or Ubuntu 14.04 as working very well!

No prebuilt builds work on my system, besides, its working fine and it did in fact update, so I'm not going to throw out the hours and hours of work I spent to get it to work right in the first place!

[legoman666]

So besides completely reinstalling, is there some file I can manually edit to change the version number?

The 1.28 comes from the database, so your database is still out of date.

sudo zmupdate.pl

No dice:
"Database already at version 1.28.109, update aborted."

Tellin' it like it is....

The reason you've got this problem, is you've screwed something up along the way. It happens to all of us. Since you have not provided us any details as to how you built and installed zoneminder, and we are not mind readers, there is little chance anyone is going to just guess what you've done.

Despite your claims that everything is working right, what little data you have given us speaks otherwise. The fact that your bowser is telling you the wrong version, is a symptom of a larger problem. That larger problem is you don't have a clean system. You've got stale files lying around from the previous version. How that happened to be, is anyone's guess, because again you haven't told us.

Rather than get into why you think you can't use one of the packages from zmrepo, if you want to build your own, you should be using the SRPM from zmrepo and rebuilding that to your liking. The instructions for downloading and rebuilding the SRPM are right on the front page of our github repo: https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder

Scroll down until you get to the Fedora/CentOS instructions.

Note that, you will still have to get your system back to clean state first. This will require manually searching your filesystem for old ZoneMinder related files. It is not possible for "make uninstall" to do this for you completely. This is one of just many reasons why building from source is discouraged. Rebuild the package instead to avoid problems like this.

So there it is. The advice you didn't want to hear.
