Hi
I try to install ZM 1.22 from rpm on a Mandriva 2006 and follow step by step instruction.
when i run /usr/lib/zm/bin/sminit i get :

[root@VDRBOX Zoneminder]# /usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit: line 13: chkmysql: command not found
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit: line 18: ` }'

I use Mysql 4.1.12.
libmysql14-devel is installed, where can i found this 'chkmysql' ?

In /usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit
Edit the file and remove the call on line 33
##chkmysql

Regards,
Corey

Okay,
Remove the function and everything in the braces and the braces with it.

Code: Select all

chkmysql(){
    #FIXME
    [ -f /etc/init.d/mysqld ] MySQL_INIT=/etc/init.d/mysqld
    [ -f /etc/init.d/mysqld-max ] MySQL_INIT=/etc/init.d/mysqld-max
    $MySQL_INIT status | grep 'running' >/dev/null 2>&1 || $MySQL_INIT start
    }

This was going to be a function to check and make sure the database was running. I haven't finished it and it is not called so it will not hurt to remove it.

Cheers,
Corey
