Problems with 1.24.3

[lyallp]

I just upgraded from 1.24.2, which was working.
Now, I am unable to 'watch' captured events.
I see the following errors in my apache error log

(blank lines inserted for clarity)
I also see in the system log

Code: Select all

May 24 09:44:45 pearcely zms[18020]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>]

May 24 09:44:45 pearcely zms[18022]: ERR [Attempt to fetch string value for ZM_COLOUR_JPEG_FILES, actual type is boolean. Try running 'zmupdate.pl -f' to reload config.]

I have tried doing the zmupdate.pl, I have applied the /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_update-1.24.2.sql
I have completely re-started apache and zoneminder.
Nothing obvious in the /var/log/zoneminder/*.log files

Suggestions?

I am running on Gentoo linux, 32 bit, fully patched up, php 5.3.6, mysql 5.1.56.

I should mention that alarms, recording and everything seem to work fine.
I just can't view the event as an 'animated series of jpegs', like I used to. When I try, I see the above messages generated.
I can view individual images, but that is tedious

[Tue May 24 09:44:48 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-011488s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory, referer: http://localhost/zoneminder/index.php?v ... c=0&page=1

This pretty much says that the socket file is either not being read where it is expected. Check and make sure the socket file is actually being created. Usually just a permissions error. So just be sure that /var/run/zm/ is owned by the apache user/group for your Distro and has read/write/create access for that folder.

The errors on your apache log are because zms is not starting.
And there is no need to diagnose even further, you already found the reason why zms is not starting.
I suggest trying to remove the row for "ZM_COLOUR_JPEG_FILES" from the Config table. ZM 1.24.3 should re-create it.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, much appreciated.

I tried deleting the ZM_COLOUR_JPEG_FILES entry, yes, it was re-created, the error persists.
The socket is there, it's called /var/run/zm/zmdc.sock, not /var/run/zm/zms-681590s.sock

All log files in /var/log/zoneminder (zmudit.log, zmdc.log, zmfilter.log, zmpkg.log, zmupdate.log ,zmvideo.log, zmwatch.log) all give no indication of errors.

In particular, zmdc.log

I am happy to paste part of a relevant source file or supply any underlying versions (php? perl?), to see if my installation is correct.
