Hi,

I'm upgrading Zoneminder 1.21.4 to the new 1.22.0 version. Compiling goes ok, but can't update database. This is what I get when running zmupdate.pl: (I've scrubbed the password)

zmupdate.pl --from=1.21.4 --user=alex --pass=xxxxxxxx
DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Access denied for user: 'zmuser@localhost' (Using password: YES) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 88

Where are you running zmupdate from? Is zmuser the username of your zm dbuser? Finally check that the username and password etc in zm.conf is correct.

zm.conf was incorrect and have changed it to the correct values. It does run now:

Code: Select all

# zmupdate.pl --version=1.21.4 --user=alex --pass=xxxxxx

I'm a bit confused why it can do some things but not others and would like to get to the bottom of it.

However for your purposes it might be easier to apply the DB changes manually (use the command that it printed out as having failed) and then changing the update sql file to be empty or just a null command so when zmupdate comes to execute it there's nothing in there to grumble about.

Hmm, I think I messed up... I've done updating the database using 'root' as username and now it works... I thought I set up user 'alex' with the appropiate rights but this was propably not the case.

Sorry for the noise on the forum and thanks...

I had the same problem. The normal zm db user in my setup does not have create access on the database...
