ZoneMinder Forums

Hi!
I´ve this message when I try start zoneminder 1.20.0:

"Starting ZoneMinder: Bareword "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 76.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 77.
"
I have installed mysql, perl, cgi, php, cambozola, TermReadKey in Red Hat 8.0

Before I installed zoneminder 0.98 and it worked fine but I need to connect an ip camera so I release version and now I have the previous error. I don´t know how to repair it.

Somebody can help me?

Thanks

Ordinarily this error occurs when you try and run ZM without having provisioned the databse. If you are starting from scratch then I would recommend using 1.22.0 rather than 1.20.0 which is quite an old version. Can you confirm that is the version you have as the instructions are different?

What you may need to do is update your existing database.
You need to run :
mysql zm < db/zm-update-0.9.8.sql
and all zm-update-<version>.sql after it to update your database.
