hello,

i have set up an standard suse 9.3 with all neccesary rpms

it compiles, but when starting via

zmpkg.pl start

i get the following: this error

Bareword "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 77.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 78.


The webinterface also shows php-errors, very often when doing: foreach(....


Thx for any help

Might check that apache has permisions to read and write is log files.
It will not start if it can't.

hello,

thx for answering. What do you mean?

Sure, apache writes its own logs, so what permission for what user i need to set.

Are you talking about the zoneminder log folder ?

I already set the logfolder to 777 - that shouldnt be the problem.
Also when i comment line 77 and 78 in zmpkg.pl i get

Bareword "VERBOSE" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 134.

So i dont think its about the logs.
But i also think somebody else had the problem before me. When googling after it:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Bareword ... ot+allowed

it finds 1 probably old post in this forum but it cannot be displayed anymore.

Check owner and permissions of /var/log/???? or other directory, where zoneminder writes the logfiles. Here zoneminder writes to /var/log/zoneminder.

The db/zm_create.sql script in the Config table has a Field that points to a path that isn't valid in Fedora. That is what I found. Regards.

I restored my mysql database on a new Linux install and got this error. To fix I ran
