I guess you have brand new install. How did you setup your database ? Did you test to see if zoneminder user can connect to zoneminder database ? Did you install perl-dbd-mysql?

I just installed zoneminder via yaourt, accepting all default PKGBUILD files along the way. When I try to start zoneminder I get a similar result as RambJoe: # systemctl start zoneminder Job for zoneminder.service failed. See 'systemctl status zoneminder.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. ===================================== So I ran journalctl -xn, and this is what I got: # journalctl -xn -- Logs begin at Mon 2013-05-27 14:21:18 CDT, end at Mon 2013-05-27 17:07:03 CDT. -- May 27 17:07:03 <server> zmpkg.pl[380]: DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Can't connect to loca May 27 17:07:03 <server> zmpkg.pl[380]: Can't call method "prepare_cached" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/site_pe May 27 17:07:03 <server> zmpkg.pl[380]: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/ZoneMinder/Config.pm May 27 17:07:03 <server> zmpkg.pl[380]: Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/ZoneMinder.pm line 33.

Thanks!!

It works now after rebooting, I think the issue might have been because I did a big update for the first time in a while before installing, where even systemd had moved folder. I don't know if it was just on my messed up install, but when I installed I had to manually create /var/log/zm and /var/somethingelse/zm (can't remember, I thought it was /var/run but I don't seem to have that folder). Anyway thanks for the help.

Is perl installed ? any issues with it .

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-05-25 16:53 (UTC)

Yeah I do, when I run that command manually it throws no errors, just "Starting server". Also, when I try to go to the server from my browser, it says "Could not open config file." Thanks

Do you have sudo installed ? Unable to run "sudo -u http /usr/bin/zmdc.pl startup

Hi, it won't start for me, I'm getting this error when I do status. zoneminder.service - Capture, analyse, record and monitor video security cameras Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2013-05-25 12:33:33 BST; 3min 25s ago Process: 4842 ExecStart=/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl start (code=exited, status=255) May 25 12:33:23 localhost sudo[4861]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user http May 25 12:33:23 localhost sudo[4866]: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/srv/http/zoneminder ; USER=http ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/zmdc.pl startup May 25 12:33:23 localhost sudo[4866]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user http by (uid=0) May 25 12:33:23 localhost zmdc[4870]: INF [Server starting at 13/05/25 12:33:23] May 25 12:33:25 localhost zmdc[4870]: FAT [Can't bind: Permission denied] May 25 12:33:33 localhost zmdc[4867]: FAT [Can't connect: Permission denied] May 25 12:33:33 localhost zmpkg[4842]: ERR [Unable to run "sudo -u http /usr/bin/zmdc.pl startup", output is "Starting server"] May 25 12:33:33 localhost systemd[1]: zoneminder.service: control process exited, code=exited status=255 May 25 12:33:33 localhost systemd[1]: Failed to start Capture, analyse, record and monitor video security cameras.

All you have to do is copy and extract created source file and then makepkg and see if you still have any issue.

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-05-13 13:58 (UTC)

tritron, Sorry was away for a few days. I can run makepkg --source, Just not sure on the next step. How should I test the compilation? run ./configure --prefix=/usr\ --enable-crashtrace=no\ --enable-debug=no\ --enable-mmap=yes\ --sysconfdir=/etc\ --with-cgidir=/srv/http/cgi-bin\ --with-extralibs='-L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql'\ --with-libarch=lib\ --with-ffmpeg=/usr \ --with-mysql=/usr\ --with-webdir=/srv/http/$pkgbase\ --with-webgroup=http\ --with-webhost=localhost\ --with-webuser=http \ ? Sorry for being a n00bish

I've updated with no problem and everything seems to work just fine, go for it ;). EDIT: and if you're afraid you always can make the package on other machine and check it out yourself.
