ZoneMinder Forums

Good day everyone;

Well I've installed a linux media labs card w/ 4 inputs. Works fine in xawtv.

I then went on to install ZoneMinder. Started by using mysql_setpermission to install a DB w/ privileged and unprivileged user. I created an account & folder for ZoneMinder. Configured everything. Got one error - at the end of the ./zmconfig.pl with regards to Mysql access, so I loaded the db parameters using zmschema.sql.z and ran ./zmconfig.pl in silent mode - everything went well. I continued with the installation.

I can start zoneminder using the redhat script "/etc/init.d/zm start"

The server seems to start.

However, the zm page is not working: http://zone.chost.ca/

Thanks!
Any ideas???

PS: The homefolder /home/zoneminder is actualy a symlink to /home2/zoneminder

I assumer this does not matter, but just in case....

The log gives me one hint of problems, but I'm not sure what it means:

I get this every 5 minutes in zmdc.log:

If this has to do with the problem:

I get an error when I try to run ZMS as a CGI:

http://zone.chost.ca/cgi-bin/zms

Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: zms

However, if I run it from shell, it looks OK:

./zms

... and in case you want to know details about PHP/Apache on the server:

This means you're missing a perl archive , if you search the forum you will find various post on this subject. (same as my subject header)
If you try to start ZM with what is in youre CGI dir , then youre only starting the videoserver for serving streams to the webclient , not the whole (set) of programs, in the readme there is a section which shows all the things you made with the build and it's a lot more than just a cgi!

Thanks healy, the missing PERL module was installed without a glitch. My zm log gives no errors, but my start page is still not working:

http://zone.chost.ca/

Any idea what is causing this problem?


PS: The log looks fine:

Got my previous problem fixed: Silly php tag issue!

short_open_tag = off to on!
(always read the readme to the end )
