Problems starting zm

[forgiarini]

hi,
I'm trying to start ZoneMinder but I receive this error, what could it be?

Distribution: SUSE SLES 9
perl v5.8.3 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
kernel 2.6.5-7.244-smp
Architecture x86_64

Thanks,
Luca

Are you using version 1.22.0? If so then it means you haven't created/loaded the database.

I have the same problem, but i have mysql running, and the database created, at first i did receive an error that it could not connect to the database. After setting the correct values in zm.conf, that error went away, but the other errors remained like in the first posting ...

[zoneminder]

Is this a new install or an upgrade from a previous version?

[homy]

This is a new installation ... well, today i found something else, i did take a look at mysql and i saw that this was mysql 5, i went back to mysql 4 and now the errors are gone, but when i try to start zoneminder, i only get a segmentation fault ... No errors in log-files or so ...

[zoneminder]

Can you post a grab of what happens?

[Imp.Avgvstvs]

I've exactly the same problem.
ffmpeg 0.4.9
Zoneminder 1.22.0
Mysql 5.0.18

Can be an incompatibility with Mysql 5 ??

Thanks in advance

I need a few more details before I can say what might be wrong. Can you post a dump of any errors you get please.

My system is a gentoo linux.

[zoneminder]

Thanks.

Can you create a simple perl script as follows

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 

use strict;

$| = 1;

use ZoneMinder::Config qw/:all/;

print ZM_SHM_KEY."\n";

Call it what you want and then run it, by typing 'perl <yourscript>.pl' either as root or in your zm directory (with a valid zm.conf in), if not both. Please post what you get.

[Imp.Avgvstvs]

That's what i get :

bash #perl prova.pl
ZM_SHM_KEY
bash#

[zoneminder]

Can you confirm that if you do

Code: Select all

mysql -u<your db user> -p<your db pass> <your db>
select * from Config where Name = "ZM_SHM_KEY";
quit;

that you get a row of data out?

[zoneminder]

Also, can you change the line in the perl script that says

Code: Select all

print ZM_SHM_KEY."\n";

to say

Code: Select all

print &ZM_SHM_KEY."\n";

and see what that does.

Sorry for not replying earlier, but i went back to a format and installed my linux from 0. Now everything works ...

[zoneminder]

Good. Thanks for letting us know.
