Can't start zm

Posted: Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:04 am
by rodj59
I get these error messages when invoking
/etc/init.d/zm start
Everything else in the build seemed ok.
Any clues?

Use of uninitialized value in transliteration (tr///) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 81, <CONFIG> line 51.

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by zm configure 1.22.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/htdocs/ZM --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --sysconfdir=/etc --with-webuser=nobody --with-webgroup=nobody

configure:1839: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-libarch option.
This tells configure where to find architecture specific libraries.
The default of 'lib' is usually ok but 64 bit machines may require lib64.
e.g. --with-libarch=lib or --with-libarch=lib64
configure:1858: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-mysql option.
This tells configure where to find the MySql C library and headers if configure cannot
locate them automatically.
e.g. --with-mysql=/usr/local or --with-mysql=/usr
configure:1887: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-ffmpeg option.
This tells configure where to find the ffmpeg root directory within which are the libavcodec
and libavformat files that can be used to build true MPEG streaming into ZoneMinder. Ensure that
your copy of ffmpeg has installed libraries as well as binaries (use 'make installlib'). If you
are using a local install of ffmpeg you may have to remove or rename a previous real installation
as the headers and libraries from that will probably be picked up before your local copy.
e.g. --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local
configure:1918: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-extralibs option.
Ordinarily you will need to use this option only when your copy of ffmpeg has been built
with support for additional formats and you would use this option to detail which additional
libraries ffmpeg was built with so that it is able to link successfully with ZoneMinder.
You will need to wrap this option in quotes if it contains any spaces.
e.g. --with-extralibs="-lmp3lame"
configure:2015: WARNING: You can call configure with the --enable-debug=<yes|no> or --disable-debug option.
This tells configure whether to compile ZoneMinder with debug included. Although debug is included
by default it is not output unless explicitly switched on elsewhere. These checks may induce a
small penalty on performance and if you are after squeezing the maximum possible performance out
of ZoneMinder you may use this switch to prevent debug from being compiled in.
e.g. --enable-debug=yes or --disable-debug

Assuming this was a new install, did you create and populate your database? What is in your installed zm.conf?

Can't start zm

I followed the Installation instructions w.r.t. DataBase initialisation:


Installation

For a new installation the next thing you will need to do is
create your database and database users. So type the commands
as follows,

mysql mysql < db/zm_create.sql

mysql mysql

grant select,insert,update,delete on <database name>.* to
'<database user>'@localhost identified by '<database
password>';

quit

mysqladmin reload

That looks ok provided that in this step
grant select,insert,update,delete on <database name>.* to
'<database user>'@localhost identified by '<database
password>';
you did replace '<database user>' with 'zmuser' for instance.

Can you do a 'locate zm.conf' to confirm that there are no bogus versions of that file around?

Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 3:58 pm

Used :

grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to
'zmuser'@rod1 identified by 'zmpass'; ... etc


mysql user table is :
mysql> select host,user from user;
+-----------+--------+
| host | user |
+-----------+--------+
| localhost | |
| localhost | root |
| localhost | zmuser |
| rod1 | |
| rod1 | root |
| rod1 | zmuser |
+-----------+--------+
6 rows in set (0.05 sec)

The only other zm.conf is in the build directory.

Have rebuilt all the perl modules too without any change.

Could there be an issue with the host name/address? The machine has two network interfaces 192.168.0.1 & 10.0.0.1 with names rod1.transport , rod1.transport.wlan.

Something to check is your path for zm.sock in your options under the paths tab, make sure the path exists and that the sock file is able to be created.

Corey

chech your /etc/zm.conf

there might ber the problem
when you folowed the instructions u copied and passwd, am i right ?
if so the you gor aline like this in there
ZM_PATH_BUILD => /usr/share/zoneminder


change it to ZM_PATH_BUILD=/usr/share/zoneminder

and with the other 2 lines do the same.


let me know if im right ...

Think zm.sock should be created under /var/run/zm : made it world writable.

I can't see where the path to zm.sock is specified? Can't find a zm.sock on the system.

There was an error in the specification of the web directory: should have been /var/www/htdocs/ZM was /var/www/htmldocs/ZM: still doesn't work though.

Invoking the .php scripts in /var/www/htfocs/ZM gives the error:

Call to undefined function:mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/htdocs/ZM/zm_db.php on line 21.

ZM_PATH_BUILD=/usr/share/zoneminder was specified in zm.conf.

Part of the problem seems to be capabilities of the webuser name : nobody has no login shell. There are other issues.

I have gotten the 1.21 version to at least start but I now find a message
call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/htdocs/ZM/zm_db.php.

Does anyone know where this function resides please ???

Can't start zm

Well, I'm back to where I started.

Unfortunately I don't speak perl so this is not easy for me.

The earlier version of ZM 1.21 didn't have a Config.pm which makes comparison difficult.

I have managed to get the 1.21 running but there are still issues w.r.t the loading of the initial ZM database: it mostly works if I use the version 1.22 database but not the version 1.21 database .... strange?

Back to the problem: my version of perl simply doesn't set the value of $name or $value
in Config.pm line 80 when it reaches the end of the zm.conf file:
my ( $name, $value ) = $str =~ /^\s([^=\\s]+)\s*=\s(\S+)\s*$/;

hence the case changing statement which follows croaks on an uninitialised value.

What I don't understand is why everyone else isn' having the same problem?
I used the latest versions of perl5 & its modules. Are there any special options you used when building perl w.r.t. regular expressions?

Can't start zm

Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 2:44 pm
by rodj59
Now I understand why not everyone else isn't having the same trouble:
one of the values in zm.conf contains whitespace : ie. ZM_PATH_BUILD=/usr/src/disks/home automation/ZoneMinder-1.22.0 : this doesn't get parsed properly & hence returns name & value either unset or null at line 80.

I ?suggest? this should be called a bug since zm should be able to parse all valid linux pathnames including those containing whitespace. A test such as "if ( ! $value ) ..." could at least warn of a configuration file problem if not actually fix it.

It is apparently a quirk of perl that it processes the whole file even if it bombs out somewhere before the end: my apologies I don't speak perl.

Still can't get my camera out of "idle" state though: for a while it "idling" at 5 or six (invisible) frames per second ?

Aaah, penny drops! :)

I will check this and get a fix in for the next release.

I have attached a small patch which seems to work here if you want to try that and confirm whether it fixes your problem.

It seems to start OK but I can't verify anything else since I can' get the rest of it working. That's not quite true but in effective terms it is. There doesn't appear to be any way I can switch a camera on: when put into monitor or any other mode zmdc gives the message it can't find any process with the name "zma -m 1" ... shared memory errors start popping up thereafter too.

If not for this I would say it was just a browser configuration problem. The system as it stands is running xawtv OK ( though it is possible to crash it with replays). It can also read a web feed out of Motion OK. The only thing it can't do is stream video/images out of ZoneMinder. I also have xine, mplayer & realplay running OK.

Actually ZM is streaming the images: I can "save image" by clicking over the blank/broken ZM monitor window, truncate the stream by copying it to another file, amputate the html header stuff of the beginning , name the resulting file according to the stream type that has been set & then view it as video in the appropriate tool. I just cannot seemingly get ZM to display the stream in a manner the browser will recognise as a video stream. :(
