Hi all

I setup a camera/console with controls (PTZ) and have since removed that camera/console. However I am getting an error in the logs relating to the deleted camera.

Code: Select all

2021-07-20 16:36:36	zmdc		632	ERR	'zmcontrol.pl --id 5' exited abnormally, exit status 255	zmdc.pl

2021-07-20 16:26:35	zmcontrol_5		29399	FAT	Unable to load control data for monitor 5

How can I resolve this error that should not exist.

Regards

Fred

Maybe you've tried this, but try re-add the cam, add/remove the controls, then remove the cam again.
Yeah, you shouldn't have to...and it may not work anyway.
You may have to delete Monitor 5 record from the DB manually to fix it.

Apologies but I have to ask. Did you restart ZoneMinder after the deletion? I believe the daemon setup occurs during start-up so might end up with an orphan process.

Problem solved

Thank you for the restart advice. I had restarted ZM, but it seems I needed to restart and entire ZM appliance (VM).
