It appears R6 includes lighthttpd instead of apache2. I've searched the zoneminder forums, wiki, and did a general search and didn't find any documents about how to set-up zoneminder using lighthttpd. Pointers?

Sorry to hijack your thread, can you briefly describe your zoneminder hardware and setup? I have been toying w/ the idea of getting some cams for backyard security but haven't taking this beyond the idea phase

NOTE: This was written before zoneminder could be install from the service menu. Try installing from the service menu before attempting any of these commands.

Install the package:

Code:

pacman -S zoneminder

Edit zoneminder settings file and change:

Quote:

ZM_WEB_USER=http
ZM_WEB_GROUP=http

Code:

sudoedit /etc/zm.conf

Add http to the video group

Code:

vigr
vigr -s

Append "/etc" and "/usr/bin" to open_basedir in /etc/php/php.ini to allow zoneminder to read /etc/zm.conf and run pnm2png

Code:

sudoedit /etc/php/php.ini

Append these two lines:

Quote:

kernel.shmall = 134217728
kernel.shmmax = 134217728

to /etc/sysctl.conf

Code:

sudoedit /etc/sysctl.conf

and run sysctl to make the settings take effect

Code:

sudo /sbin/sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

edit /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Code:

sudo /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

and uncomment mod_alias and then append the following lines:

Quote:

alias.url = (
"/zm" => "/home/httpd/html/zm"
"/cgi-bin" => "/home/httpd/cgi-bin"
)

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin" {
cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )
}

restart lighttpd

Code:

sudo killall lighttpd

Fix log permissions

Code:

sudo chown -R http:http /var/log/zm

Fix data directory permissions

Code:

sudo chown -R http:http /var/lib/zm

Fix permissions for images, events, sounds, etc

Code:

sudo chown http:http -R /home/httpd/html/zm

Configure logrotate to notify zoneminder when log files have been rotated:

Code:

sudoedit /etc/logrotate.d/zm

and add

Quote:

postrotate
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmpkg.pl logrot
endscript

below in the /var/log/zm/*log section

Use you favorite web browser to configure zoneminder.

EDIT: fix perms on /home/httpd/html/zm && add /usr/bin to php.ini
EDIT: add http to video group
EDIT: logrotate stuff

The zoneminder package was updated in the last few days to 1.23.3-6 and now it appears to be broken:

Code:

/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmfix
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmfix: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A search for faad shows faad2 which does not resolve the need for libfaad.so.1. Any suggestions?

It is still broken. I just did a full system upgrade tonight. I got the same errors after the upgrade. I had to roll zoneminder back to the previous package 1.23.3-5. It worked fine after that.

Is the problem with zoneminder or mythzoneminder? The myth plugin was recently recompiled. So, you might want to update:

pacman -Sy mythzoneminder

I am not an expert on this but from what I can tell it looks like the zoneminder-1.23.3-6 package was compiled with either a wrong or missing library. I am running Mythzoneminder and it is working ok. I looked and the package I am running it is mythzoneminder (0.21-3)

FYI,
Just to make sure I did an upgrade to mythzoneminder only and it installed a newer version. mythzoneminder-0.21-4. I am having no problems with this version of mythzoneminder.

Try a "pacman -Syu" and let me know if your problems go away.

I ran pacman and I downloaded the new update.

Ok, I get the same error that Bobmyth got if I try to run the command manually /usr/lib/zm/bin/zmfix

In the log file

Quote:

/var/log/zm/zmpkg.log

I get the following error:

Quote:

I run the command manually I get:

Code:

/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmfix

The output is:

Quote:

/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmfix: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't know where to go from here. I just followed Bobmyths writeup to get it going.

I rolled it back to zoneminder-1.23.3-5 Since I am leaving out of town and I want the system up and running.

That did the Trick. Thank You!

On the first run I got the following results and told it to delete it.

Quote:

:: File zoneminder-1.23.3-7-i686.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted. Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
zoneminder-1.23.3-7-i686.pkg.tar.gz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I ran it again and it installed with no complaints.
I am in the Zone again....

One of the new package updates broke my zoneminder a while back and I finally got the time to get it going again.

I wanted to start from scratch since I think I had something lying around from a previous install that was messing things up.

Code:

pacman -Rs mythzoneminder 
pacman -Rs zoneminder

I did a full install:

Code:

pacman -Syf zoneminder
pacman -Syf mythzoneminder

I ran the data base init commands and had it start new and wipe out the old.

Code:

/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit

Everything looked great! I didn't have to fiddle with anything. The webserver was all setup and I had to do nothing to get that going. I configured it for a camera and then started zoneminder. It ran as if it were happy but I was not getting any camera data. I looked in the logs and something is going wrong.

I tried clearing the database again through zminit an I also cleared it manually. through mysql.

I am at a loss and don't know where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.
