Run "zmupdate.pl -f"

Thank you very much for your help. I ran the command, it seemed to work. However, when try to stream an on-board web cam. I get the following errors. I must have something configured incorrectly. I'll keep trying to fix it. If you have any other ideas, I'll give them a shot and report back in case anyone else is having the same issues..

command:
sudo zmupdate.pl -f

result:
Freshening configuration in database
Loading config from DB
Saving config to DB
command:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 [ OK ]

Which OS are you running? A big change from 1.28 to 1.29 is the PATH_ZMS has changed. You need to change it. There are instructions for every OS. For example Step 7 here for Ubuntu http://zoneminder.readthedocs.org/en/st ... buntu-15-x

I'm using Linux mint 17.3 "Rosa" I had it working, upgraded to 1.29 from 1.28. I did not keep my default configuration. I purged everthing and re installed. I got it to work, well, at least open up. When I try to stream. I get the errors posted.

well, it looks like I have to dump it and reinstall. I cant seem to find out why so many errors keep coming up. One thing I've learned is, once you install zm and it gets corrupted. it never really seems to works after that. There's always some file that gets left behind that seems to reappear. zm is good when it's working, but it can be very painful when it decides to act up. in any case, it keeps me challenged and I learn something new all the time. Thanks to all who've given advise. Much appreciated.

Those socket_sendto errors are just telling you streaming is not working, zms_path most common culprit

Hi,
Same thing in my setup. When I remove localhost from the config file the cameras can be seen in web interface. With local host in the config file cameras failed to stream.
