/usr/bin/zmdc.pl has too many errors.

Thanks. I managed to bugger that one up.

This looks like it is pertinent to my error can someone clarify what to do.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/zoneminder start

You need to find the line that matches the line beginning with the - and make it match the line that begins with the +:

- if ( !$process->{delay} || ($process->{runtime} > ZM_MAX_RESTART_DELAY)) )
+ if ( !$process->{delay} || ($process->{runtime} > ZM_MAX_RESTART_DELAY))

Looks like you're removing the extra ")" at the end of line 560 in zmdc.pl.

HTH,
boom
