Hello
Centos 3.3 is the O/S
I was running ZM 1.19.5 just fine and did a clean install of 1.20.1 today. Dropped the old db etc.
I initially had some problems with the zm init script starting up that was asked in the forum:
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4183
I found that problem was my user permissions
were reset to basically 'read' permissions for the ZM database in mysql.
That was fixed and my tables are correctly populated and the init script starts.
When connecting with the web browser I get a new error:
Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /var/www/html/zm.php on line 148

Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Kevin

I've never heard of this before but googling for it indicates that it's not a ZM problem but a php/apache issue. Have you looked at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25876 as there is some discussion there.

That link helped. I changed the php.ini to
session.save_handler = files
and all is well.
Thanks for helping.

Good I'm glad that fixed it. What did you have it set to before?

Phil

Hi

On this version of Centos, it is set to 'user' by default.
PHP is version 4,3,2-x
