I know I should post more info but does anyone have ANY pointers ?
Zoneminder will not start at all, it built and installed fine, but will not start...

Here is the error…

root@CCTV:/usr/local/bin# zmpkg.pl start
Can't connect: No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 349
ZoneMinder::Debug::Fatal('Can\'t connect: No such file or directory') called at /usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl line 168

If ZM is already installed, then do it for /usr/bin/zmdc.pl (or /usr/bin/local/zmdc.pl)

Thanks,
I don't understand your instructions, can you be a bit more specific, Do I paste this in terminal ? I am very familiar with terminal but not sure what to do with your very kind instructions,
Thanks.

do you mean
substitute diff --git a/scripts/zmdc.pl.in b/scripts/zmdc.pl.in

with diff --git /usr/bin/zmdc.pl.in /usr/bin/zmdc.pl.in

?
for script /usr/bin/zmdc.pl ?

Heh ignore the patch, it will just make life harder i guess.

Open /usr/bin/zmdc.pl (or /usr/bin/local/zmdc.pl depending on your installation) with an editor

Thanks,
That's easy… I'll do that.
