Need a little help, system is a Dell Poweredge 4600 running 10.04 32bit. Followed this guide to get zoneminder working: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... 2C_etc.%29

Only problem is that I get this error on boot:

Code: Select all

 * Starting AppArmor profiles       [80G 
[74G[ OK ]

Starting ZoneMinder: DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 89

Zoneminder starts successfully after boot from either CLI or web console

OK solved this, I had moved the images and events folders to a stripped software raid array but zoneminder was starting before the software raid, so just changed the boot sequence so that zonminder started after mdadm
