Upgrade from 1.32 to 1.34

[JBertrand]

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade my ZM installation (on a debian/testing server). I use package from deb-multimedia.

Of course, 1.32 ran as expected.

After installation of mew package, I have launched zmupdate.pl that ends without error. But I cannot start zoneminder anymore:

Code: Select all

root@hilbert:/var/cache# /etc/init.d/zoneminder start
Starting zoneminder (via systemctl): zoneminder.serviceJob for zoneminder.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status zoneminder.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
 failed!

In logs, I obtain:

Code: Select all

mars 25 09:14:12 hilbert systemd[1]: Starting ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance system...
mars 25 09:14:12 hilbert systemd[2950509]: zoneminder.service: Failed to determine user credentials: No such process

mars 25 09:14:13 hilbert systemd[1]: Failed to start ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance system.

I have written in /etc/systemd/system/zoneminder.service:

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance system
After=network.target
Documentation=http://zoneminder.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

[Service]
#Environment=TZ=:/etc/localtime
User=www-data
Group=www-data
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl start
ExecReload=/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl restart
ExecStop=/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl stop
PIDFile=/run/zm/zm.pid
Restart=on-abnormal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

as my database server is located on a second server.

If I modify this unit to start zoneminder as root:root, it starts !

I have checked that all cache files are owned by www-data:www-data. All other files are owned by root but are accessible for reading. I suppose I have done a mistake but I cannot find it.

Best regards,

JB

I have modified zmpkg.pl :

Code: Select all

# Check if we are running systemd and if we have been called by the system
#if ( $command =~ /^(start|stop|restart)$/ ) {
# We have to detaint to keep perl from complaining
#  $command = $1;

#  if ( systemdRunning() && !calledBysystem() ) {
#    qx(/usr/bin/zmsystemctl.pl $command);
#    $command = '';
#  }
#}

and I can start zoneminder with zmpkg.pl start:

Code: Select all

If I try:

Code: Select all

root@hilbert:/etc# zmsystemctl.pl start

I obtain:

Code: Select all

Job for zoneminder.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status zoneminder.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Something seems to be broken in zmsystemctl.

You should use the zmrepo to install on Debian:
