Im pretty sure this is just a rights problem. But I am unsure how to tackle it?
Im getting this error in /var/log/messages
Nov 14 15:49:45 server zmdc[1153]: WAR [Can't find process with command of 'zma -m 1']
ANd of course my camera's are showing up red which what prompted me to look in the logs.
Anyone run into this problem before?
All the camera's I use are IP based. I can only find information on a bttv card with this error.. Folling those posts I cant find anything the leads me to a solution?

Hmmm.. Seems that error above is no longer happening.. But now I am getting.

So I got my setup working finally.
Took some goofing off, but here's what I did.
I edited /etc/zm/zm.conf
Changed Zoneminder to run as root and group as root. Then I ran...
sudo chown root.root -R /var/cache/zoneminder/events
This didn't fix the problem so I reversed the process to set it back to what was default.
Edited /etc/zm/zm.conf
Changed Zoneminder to run as www-data and group as www-data. Then I ran...
sudo chown www-data.www-data -R /var/cache/zoneminder/events
After then it worked! Unfortunately I don't know exactly why or how, But I have all greens and everything working perfectly!
I suspect that I only needed to run 'sudo chown www-data.www-data -R /var/cache/zoneminder/events' and it probably would have fixed the problem.
Please let me know if this works for you?

I'm getting the same error as you:
" WAR [Can't find process with command of 'zmtrack.pl -m 2']"
I tried what you mentioned and what is different with my install is that I added a new monitor and it appears to work b/c the monitor lights up orange in "monitor" mode but when I click on the camera it just brings up the window with no video just the controls (FF, REWIND, ETC). I'm stumped, the error above is all that I'm getting.

So I just did a new install on a Co-workers zoneminder and all I ran is the following command and it all worked. It would see the folder that holds the events is created with root rights, www-data cannot access that folder untill you give it rights.
sudo chown www-data.www-data -R /var/cache/zoneminder/events
It sounds like, scarrz, that when you added the new monitor it gave that devices event folder correct rights. The command above should work to give everything in the folder rights.
I would guess you problem is rights, But you might need to big into your a little further to see what the rights problem is coming up.
