I have the following on my zmdc.log

02/06/06 10:23:30.905281 zmdc[6027].INF ['zmupdate.pl -c' starting at 06/02/06 10:23:30, pid = 6122]
stream /dev/conslog is not writable at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 294
console is not writable at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 294
no connection to syslog available at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 294
02/06/06 18:23:30.834905 zmdc[6027].ERR ['zmupdate.pl -c' crashed, exit status 2]

What should I do?

Should I 'chown' the files on ZoneMinder perl directory to the user:group Apache is running?

I think the first thing to check is if you have syslogd running. Then we'll go from there!

Yes it is running. (should I be running it anyway?)

Code: Select all

linux:/etc/init.d # ps aux | grep syslog
root      4218  0.0  0.0   1888   908 ?        Ss   Feb06   0:01 /sbin/syslog-ng

linux:/etc/init.d # chkconfig syslog
syslog  on

thanks so far.
