localhost/zm/undefined problem

[chrisr]

Hi

I have just installed ZoneMinder for the first time, version 1.25, using apt (apt-get install zoneminder). I went to localhost/zm, logged in with successfully with admin/admin.

At the top of the screen it says "ZoneMinder Console - Stopped - v1.25.0". So I clicked on the word "Stopped", then clicked on the "Apply" button to change it to started. After a few moments I am then sent to the page localhost/zm/undefined which has a 404 error.

Here is a pastie of last few lines of my error.log file :

pastie[dot]org[slash]4113909

There are lots of errors but i'm not exactly sure what the cause is. Can anyone shed any light on what I have to do to fix it? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

I had to use [dot] and [slash] because the forum wouldn't let me add the real address.

Ok, you can ignore my previous message as I am now in a worse situation. I apt-get remove'd zoneminder, and then ran apt-get install zoneminder. This time there are a lot of problems :

Yet again i find myself in dependency hell! I shouldn't have removed it.

I have a similar error message, but it only happened after I upgraded MySQL (part of the Ubuntu routine upgrades).

Code: Select all

Trying to run zmupdate.pl, I received this:

Any other hints from your research?
