SOLVED: zmwatch ERR Can't get shared memory id '7a6d0001'

Post by Flyte »

Hi all,

I tried searching for this but apparently the words 'get', 'shared', and 'memory' are too common and were removed from my search?!

Zoneminder will show me no video feeds in the control panel, and the following error is shown in the /tmp/zmwatch.log file:

Code: Select all

zmwatch[6414].ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d0001', 1: No such file or directory]
I also get the following error in my /var/log/apache2/error.log:

Code: Select all

[error] [client x.x.x.x] array (\n  0 => \n  array (\n    'file' => '/usr/share/zoneminder/ajax/stream.php',\n    'line' => 55,\n    'function' => 'ajaxError',\n    'args' => \n    array (\n      0 => 'socket_sendto( /tmp/zms-397924s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory',\n    ),\n  ),\n  1 => \n  array (\n    'file' => '/usr/share/zoneminder/index.php',\n    'line' => 116,\n    'args' => \n    array (\n      0 => '/usr/share/zoneminder/ajax/stream.php',\n    ),\n    'function' => 'require_once',\n  ),\n), referer: [h][t][t][p][:]//x.x.x.x/zoneminder/index.php?view=watch&mid=1
(IPs removed and links broken to be less "spamy" for a new user..)

I'm using the debian package from the unstable repository.

Any ideas what this could be or where else I can look for more information?

Many thanks

Edit: Marked as solved.. thanks! :)

Look here, the parts that talks about shared memory http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 21&t=17346

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...
