@pvagner can you share yours tweaked PKGBUILD for the latest version? Thx in advance.

@alyubomirov Edit your php.ini and add /var/cache/zoneminder into the open_basedir variable. The web UI is unable to generate thumbnails and the zone file if this is not added.

Hey guys, I can confirm last two comments. I have been installing zoneminder on a vanilla arch install and I had to tweak the service files as suggested. Here are additional tweaks I had to do in order to get this fully working as I wanted it to: - I had to install perl-lwp-protocol-https in order to allow zoneminder to pass check for updates. It is not needed but it's nice when there are less errors inside the log. - I had to add /usr/share/cambozola into open_basedir variable inside the php.ini config file because otherwise check for cambozola.jar existence fails. - Because I had issues with rtsp streaming I have tweaked PKBUILD script locally and installed version 1.26.5 I had to add /tmp/zm into the open_basedir inside php.ini config file because web UI generates its own logs too. - Finally I was suggesting this before a while but it's still needed I had to add /var/cache/zoneminder into the open_basedir because without adding it using ffmpeg to generate videos fails. - And also if you wish to use ffmpeg make sure its path is set. It can't be empty. If you know what to put there or you want use the default simply put "ffmpeg" without the quotes. I think it would be better not to tweak php.ini but instead add all these into the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-zoneminder.conf with appropriate comments so users can easily review them and tweak them. This way you won't be messing system config. And yes I think ffmpeg should be listed in the PKGBUILD script as an optional dependency. I am currently running the latest available version and it appears to be working well.

Has anybody been able to see the camera in the 'alarm' settings and set up alarm zones? The picture is not showing up. By the way, there is new version...

For me the systemd service unit file also has errors: Required => Requires ExecRestart => ExecReload

Couple of comments. I finally got this going after several dedicated hours of debugging :-) I did however reinstall zoneminder on a not so clean fresh install. 1 - mysqld and httpd service files both have set PrivateTmp=true, so zmdc.pl is never going to be able to read /tmp/zm/zmdc.pl? I just commented out PrivateTmp=true, so I hope it's not actually the default. 2 - I could not figure out why connecting to mysqld failed even after many attempts to put various timeouts in Zoneminder::Config.pm or zmpkg.pl. I did notice that systemd is particularly harsh about the whole service not starting up in time, so consequently I set in zoneminder.service [Service] section: Restart=always StartLimitInterval=0 StartLimitBurst=0 So it just keeps banging away until mysqld is ready to talk. I've restarted a couple of times now and zoneminder starts up and the web interface can tell it is running (AND cambozola doesn't say "No main content type" which is what I was going to look at next! :-)

With AURA I had the same issue as @zwastik, but I downloaded tarball and with makepkg everything works fine.
