Zoneminder fails to startup!

Hi, Again....
Upon installation and database setup, i find that i am unable to start zoneminder. I have noticed that the zoneminder service is not running and reports an error, also i am unable to find logs under /var/log/zoneminder. The time zone also appears to be incorrect as the time does not represent current local time.
Thanks to all!

Since I think I'm the only one that created a package for Fedora that actually put logs in /var/log/zoneminder you might want to check /tmp for the logs.
Trying to start it manually from the command line will likely give you some hint as well.

The timezone being displayed might be controlled by PHP.
Look under the /etc directory for a file called "php.ini" (there might be more than one) and within this file you will find a line like this:
date.timezone = 'UTC'
Change the timezone to your one and restart apache. You can find a list of valid timezones here:

Hi,
Thanks for the replys. I am not sure how to start it via command line. perhaps an example is in order. I have changed the timezone in php.ini and found it to now display correctly. I initally had a problem with mysql starting at boot time. but i think i have that problem cleared up now. I will look for the log files.
Thanks again!

This looks like an selinux problem to me? Try "setenforce 0" as root and see if you can start it. That will only stay until you reboot. If that is the problem edit /etc/selinux/conf <--I forgot the exact name of the file and set enforcing to disabled, or try and fix selinux!

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is solved. It was a combination of the database and services not starting properly.
Again, thanks for the reply!

How does one get Zoneminder to run under Fedora 17 ???
libgnutls-openssl.so.26 is no longer supplied in Fedora 17 and Zoneminder requires this library.....
Please help!

Maybe the 1.25.0-1 package available via yum could give you a working system.

bb99 -
Been there tried that.
Still fails to start due to libgnutls-openssl.so.26 not being there...and following the Fedora bugzilla threads, they are no longer supplying this library in Fedora.
Help?
