HELP - recent ubuntu update uninstalled zoneminder

[barrydocks]

just ran an update on ubuntu 8.04 LTS and the apache update has uninstalled zoneminder and dropped the mysql databaser. What is worse is I can't get apche to run after the reinstall Here are the errors:

Code: Select all

root@Fileserver:~# apache2ctl restart
Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder:
Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Also there is no zm directory in the www directory anymore!

Thanks

Any one has an idea?

Thanks.

There shouldn't be.. at least with 1.24..

It's an apache alias to the zm webroot..
