After running fine for weeks, ZM stopped recording events. All processes start fine and start processing, then I eventually get this:

Sep 7 04:44:31 zm zma_m4[1534]: INF [BackYard: 800 - Gone into alarm state]
Sep 7 04:44:31 zm zma_m4[1534]: ERR [Can't insert event: Duplicate entry '0' for key 'Archived']
Sep 7 04:44:31 zm zmdc[1252]: ERR ['zma -m 4' exited abnormally, exit status 38]

Every time there is an alarm, it says that there is a duplicate entry, and ZM crashes. Doesn't matter which camera (I have four active, five connected).

This happened before, and I just reinstalled it to get everything working again, and wrote it off as a fluke. But this is twice, so something is wrong.

This is running version 1.24.2-6 in Fedora Core 14.

Try repairing your database: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... atabase.3F

Or use Phpmyadmin.

I think I just made it worse:

Sep 7 19:45:01 zm zmaudit[2815]: FAT [Can't execute: Incorrect key file for table './zm/Events.MYI'; try to repair it]

Uh oh.

Going to try phpmyadmin now...

I updated the config for phpmyadmin and I can't seem to get into the 'zm' database. So I tried via CLI, and get:

[root@zm db]# mysql -uzm

mysql> USE `zm`;

mysql> \q;
Bye
[root@zm db]#



-----------------------------

I never changed the password for the zm user since database creation. I checked the zm_create.pl script and there is no password specified.

What am I doing wrong?
