This package has issues with perl 5.30. Some dependent modules either don't work or aren't loaded properly.

Just chiming in to let you know I upgraded from one one of the earliest packages when you took over maintenance last year. Like others have said, it stopped capturing after updates (along with every other aur package that uses libx26{4,5} et. al.). Installation failed (gracefully) first time around when trying to upgrade the database and I had to do a mysql_upgrade (which it actually advised me of, though I figure that script's probably upstream). So thanks again, Nocifer!

Build will fail if libvlc and libvlccore is installed, you need to replace libvlc with vlc first.

@felixita this sounds like PHP not being able to find its database module. If you open a terminal and run 'php -m' on the server hosting ZM, does pdo_mysql show up in the list of modules? Also, are there any errors printed in php-fpm's or Apache's logs?

Hi, i've made a fresh install of zm 1.32.3-1 but not work: zoneminder webpage get Unable to connect to ZM db.could not find driver. Mariadb work well. All service httpd.service, zoneminder.service, fcgiwrap-multiwatch and php-fpm.service are working.

Any ideas?

@zlqrn you're right, it's a syntax error I apparently introduced when I last updated the package, in my attempt to make ZoneMinder listen to all interfaces (*) rather than localhost only so it can be accessed remotely. But ServerName does not accept the '*' wildcard, it requires a single, definitive host name or address; so in this case either ServerAlias should be used in its stead or, since it's only a single VirtualHost, the ServerName/Alias directive could be removed altogether.

I'll do a little thinking over which solution is more appropriate and update the package in the next couple of days.

freshly installed zoneminder on linux-lts and have httpd error everything else "systemctl status" is green except for httpd.service


Syntax Error on line 4 of /etc/httpd/conf/extra/zoneminder.conf

Invalid ServerName '*:8095' use ServerAlias to set multiple server names.


all i did was follow the install instructions as always. i dont recall having to change Virutal Host Server section of /extra/zoneminder.conf

anybody have any clue or idea what is wrong? or how to fix

i change "*:8095" to other attributes and get another error .

When ffmpeg was upgraded to 1:4.1.2-2 and with it x264 to 157 Zoneminder stopped capturing. Was kind of a hassle to find out what was going on, as Zoneminder's log entries were somewhat cryptic. So I started debugging from the wrong end - of course. Long story short: Simply had to re-install the Zoneminder package - and everything worked again. Can you maybe force an update of Zoneminder in the future in case dependent libraries have changed? Or any other mechanism that forces a rebuild of the Zoneminder package? Thanks for all your work!

@zlqrn Yeah, that's usually the solution when something (anything) complains about not being able to find somelibrary.so.xxx. It actually happened again recently, with the update to mariadb 10.3. At the time I didn't push an update (to force a rebuild) because I didn't want to annoy people that may be running ZM without mariadb. Judging by the lack of complaints, it seems people figured it out themselves anyway :P

But now I think about it, I'm not sure that was the best course of action after all. What if someone ran the updater and missed the errors printed by ZM (which in this case, rather inconveniently, were actually printed not in ZM's service log but in fcgiwrap's)? If their ZM instance was borked after the mariadb 10.3 update, even a few hours of their cameras not recording before the issue came to their attention could have been... bothersome to say the least. Much less bothersome than an extra 5 minutes spent rebuilding ZM as part of the updating process would have been.

So I'm now of the opinion that whenever something like this happens, I should be pushing an update to force a rebuild. If anyone has an opinion on the matter, I'd gladly hear it.
