ZoneMinder Forums

Hi Folks,

I'M working on a SuSE 9.1 Linux with apache 2.0.49, php 4.3.4, mysql 4.0.18.
Installation of ZoneMinder works well until I "make install" below is the errormessage:

It seems to me, that I can not change the owner of apache. No idea why cause I made a standart installation of apache and changed nothing.
In case I'm new to apache and are not able to find any information in the web or forums I like to ask you for help.

Hope there is someone out who can help

Are you doing the 'make install' as root or as a regular user?

Phil,

Hi Phil,

I made "make install" as root.
Sorry, that I didn't mention it before.

I'm not sure I know what 'ungültiger Benutzer' means but I suspect it might be 'unknown user'. If that's the case then you need to ensure that you pass the correct web user and group to configure via the configure command. It may be your distribution uses 'web' and 'web' or something else. Check the ownership of the web processes and files to find out.

Hi Phil,
thanks for the help, I had to configure it as root:root.
Then the compilation went thrue without any further interupt.
Now I have to figure out, how I can get ZoneMinder to work

Thanks again, I will keep in touch
Joey
