SOLVED!! zma exiting abnormally if using modect or mocord

limitlessent · Post by **limitlessent** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:07 am

This problem was solved by:
1.) removing all cameras from the zoneminder console
2.) deleting all events, images etc from the /var/www/html/zm/events dir 3.) dropping my zm mysql database.
4.) Re-creating the zm mysql database and granting appropriate permissions
5.) importing the zm_create.sql tables back into the newly created db
6.) Re-adding cameras and setting modect or mocord back on

I'm assuming my db must have gotten corrupt somehow but this seemed to take care of it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Original post below
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm running CentOS 5.2 & Zoneminder 1.24.1.
If I use all my cams on Monitor they work fine...
Cams are generic analog BNC cameras, connected to a PV-183 capture card obtained from Bluecherry.

If I put them on modect or mocord, my logs fill with these errors:

03/31/2009 21:55:29.876118 zmdc[14877].INF ['zma -m 16' starting at 09/03/31 21:55:29, pid = 15362]

03/31/2009 21:55:42.931215 zmdc[14877].ERR ['zma -m 14' exited abnormally, exit status 11]

Once I changed those cams back to Monitor, the errors stop.
What would cause that? Any ideas?
I followed instructions exactly from the Wiki for CentOS.
I get live feed fine if I click on a camera name but cannot get any sort of motion detection to work. No events have ever shown up (I'm assuming because of those errors in the logs every time I turn on modect or mocord).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Turn debug to 5 and limit to zma_ post what you get.

Suggests that something is off with zmc. Switch debug to zmc_ and see what you have.
Looks like you have some linked monitors miss configured as will by the looks of it.

Ok... I deleted my mysql db and totally started over.
I re-created the db and imported the initial zm_create.sql into it.
I've added 3 cameras back and set them for modect.
So far the only errors I see are in zmdc.log... they appear to just be warnings but how do I fix these:
