Well after 2 days of work on it, i have installed on a fresh FC4 server.
By the way i a rookie in linux so.....

But a i have a problem. i cant get zm to run... i can´te find in the service list.

Can anyone help me???

Hi,

I'm a FC4 user, too, and my zm works upto 98% functions.
Please follow the zm manual and my simple note.

MySQL devel packages, for the header files are needed.
Some perl-xxx modules.
yum install ffmpeg*
vi zm.conf, change the username and password for mysql database.
mysql knowledge, www.mysql.org ch-5
mysql -h localhost -u user [-p password]
root <- super user for MySql
mysqladmin -u root password "yourpassword" <- setting passwork for user root for security.
use data_base_name;
show tables;
describe tables_field;
select * from tables_field;
mysql -u root -p < db/zm_create.sql
give new user privilages, follow the zm manual
mysqladmin -u root -p reload
camera driver:
spca5xx, INSTALL
spcaview work!!
zmu -d /dev/video -q -v, with root for testing the cowork between zm and camera driver
zm database will be at /var/lib/mysql/
/var/log/httpd/error_log loading lib error: permission denied.
execstack -c xxx.so
and disable SElinux for httpd will solve this problem.
.asf for mozilla need mplayer-plugin(from mozilla update website), and mplayer.
zm log files are at /tmp

Hi,
For the zm service you copy the script called "zm" from the "scripts" directory, located wherever you uncompressed the ZoneMinder directory.

For me it is: /root/ZoneMinder-1.22.0/scripts/zm

So to copy I would do: And then, change the permissions on the "zm" script to allow execution. For that, I would do: About the shared memory, I'll let someone more knowledgeable handle that.

I was the Selinux was enable... I had to Disable it..

Its running ...
But still one thing to fixe..heheh

Your original errors included one where no device was being passed to zmc. Make sure you have filled in all the fields in the monitor definition. This is enforced in 1.22.1 but still slack in 1.22.0
