error in apache logs when trying to access zm webgui

[atomsk]

Hello i followed the instructions on the centos zoneminder wiki setup

After trying to access the zoneminder UI via the URL i get these errors in apache error_log

Code: Select all

[Tue Nov 08 17:07:37 2011] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] File does not exist: /var/www/html/zm/<, referer: myurl/zm/

i'm trying to undestand why "/var/www/html/zm/<" and not "/var/www/html/zm/"

i have modified functions.php by replacing all short tags (<?) with full tags (<?php) and also enabled short tags in httpd.conf since the original functions.php file was having problems.

Have you put your correct path in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default ?

From the wiki:

Code: Select all

vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Find the line:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot /var/www

, and change it to read

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot /usr/share/zoneminder
Similarly change the line:

Code: Select all

<Directory /var/www/>

to

Code: Select all

<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/>

Code: Select all

service apache2 restart

Hope it helps,

unfortunately there no such directories in Centos

this is the wiki i'm talking about.

Fast reader...I skipped the centos reference! Sorry about that.

one more error upon apache restart

avahi_entry_group_add_service_strlst("localhost") failed: Invalid host name


and this is what gets displayed when i visit the web gui:

: / : %
ZoneMinder - - v'.ZM_VERSION.'', canEdit( 'System' ) ) ?>
/ '.$SLANG['Log'].'' ) ?>

<?=$SLANG['Refresh']?><?=$SLANG['Edit']?><?=$SLANG['Delete']?>

i'm so puzzled, i did everything correctly , how come there's no package that gets installed automatically via yum

[atomsk]

fixed it there are two short_open_tag entries in php.ini, you need to change both
