I just installed the ZoneMinder version 0.9.15 package on my redhat9 box. However, when I try to start the zm service, I get the following error:
Starting ZoneMinder: Bareword "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 62.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 63.
[FAILED]
Can anyone tell me what is causing this error?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me..
Lee

Hmmm
I remember this problem.... I had it too. I think that it is from a missing perl module.
Do you have all the mysql module installed?

I've the same problem (as Lee Coleman I used rh 9.0)...I've control modules that zm perl script use and I install they but I haven't resolved the problem...Have you some ideas?

Hi Lee,
Are you sure you have run zmconfig.pl to install configuration into the database? It looks to me like the config is not being loaded properly.
Phil,

I just ran into this problem.
The directory where the logs are supposed to be dumped DOES NOT EXIST.
Create it by hand and everything will be fine

I hit the same problem -
Seeing Philip's post I poked around in the db and sure enough there wasn't anything there - I did run 'perl ./zmconfig.pl' previously though - zmconfig.txt existed - It may be of note that I hit 'x' to use the defaults once the core options were set.
Anyhow, running 'perl ./zmconfig.pl -noi' fixed this... Thanks Philip!
Cheers,
Erik.
