ZoneMinder Forums

Hi all
I recently installed ZoneMinder and all went quite well. I have managed to sort out most problems and it is triggering events with a cheap lo-res webcam (my Axis2100 is on the way). However I am left with two problems I'm unsure about.
System is RH9, Intel P3 1Gig, 1 Gig ram.

A section of /tmp/zmdc.log contains the following;
<snip>

</snip>
All other logs seem OK.
Have I missed something in the compile, or did I not install a Perl Zip module?
Which I suspect is the case

Second problem is;
When I select 'zones' from the front page with an active camera window open, the small Zones page opens but the image area just contains a 'broken image' icon, no image.
Selecting 'Add New Zone' does not help. Again am I missing something?

Trust that someone can help.
Kind regards .... Algenon

Algenon:
You seem to be missing a Perl Module. In your case it is the Archive/Zip module. You can tell because of the line in your los that says:
Can't locate Archive/Zip.pm...

If you are not familiar with locating, downloading, compiling, testing and installing Perl Modules I recommend you use the Webmin server administration package. You can download it from webmin.com. After installing and logging into Webmin, click on the "Other" tab, click on Perl modules and follow the on-screen prompts to have that module installed in no time. Oh, your linux box will need internet acces for this operation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jose for the assistance. I installed this, and a few other Perl modules and all apperas to be OK. However I am still stuck with the problem of not being able to see the zones I have created in the Zone window.
I cannot see any problems in the logs. Do you, or anyone else have any ideas.
I feel I should get this going properly before going on to version .16
Again thanks for your help, not only for me but for all the others you have helpfully responded to.

Kind regards .... Algenon
