Hi

Managed to get everything working once but now after reboot back top same errors with shared memory.
I have set the shared memory configuration in /etc/sysctl.conf and it seems to set required parameters in files /proc/sys/kernel/shm* but still no joy.
When use ipcs to view shared memory get the following :

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0x0c0deb00 65536 apache 666 33554432 9
0x00000000 131073 steve 600 393216 2 dest
0x00000000 163842 steve 600 393216 2 dest
0x7a6d2002 196611 apache 700 9216516 0



Setup is :
Fedora Core 3
Zoneminder 1.21.0

Error is:
Mar 29 11:23:35 www zmu[6036]: ERR [Shared memory not initialised by capture daemon]

The error you are seeing is not that the shared memory cannot be created but that the capture daemon has not initialised it before something else has tried to use it. This may be because the capture daemon hasn't been started or may be because it crashed before it could initialise it. Check in zmdc.log for example to see if it is being restarted, or look for earlier errors in the messages file.
