ZoneMinder Forums

Hi
Fedora 1 , ZM version 1.17.1 and Hauppauge WinTv BTTV card using composite input.
I just discovered ZM and it's my first time setting it up.
Sorry, I'm 'new'. I built it without any problems and have mysql setup properly.
When I login as 'admin/admin' I see "Warning: Division by zero in /var/www/html/zm_html_view_console.php on line 62"
on the main screen. I cannot start the console from that webpage.
If I use the 'zm' init script I get:

[root@athlon init.d]# ./zm start
Starting ZoneMinder: Bareword "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 62.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 63.

my device is /dev/video0 [confirmed with xawtv] and if I start it manually:
zmc -d /dev/video0
nothing happens.

Not sure where to go with this. Should I try the 0.9.16 version?

httpd-2.0.48-1.2 and php-4.3.4-1.1 both from rpm

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Kevin,

This sounds like your database is not set up properly. Did you remember to run zmconfig.pl (twice) and have you created your database?

Phil,

Hi Philip,
I was able to run with your help.
After a fresh install of mysql and zoneminder,
I ran zmconfig.pl again and now it's running fine.
One trivial problem is when I restart mysqld from the Fedora init script, it delays
for abouot 10 seconds and then reports failed -but- mysqld is running and everything
is fine. The zm webpage is taking input now.
Now I need to search the forum for bttv config's.

Thanks for the help.
