Okay I have read a lot of comments, skimmed libav doxigen docs and came up with a dirty patch what does the same skuda tried to do in july. It compiles zoneminder binaries against the latest libav-static instead of relying on system-wide ffmpeg libraries. I think this might be also why video export is broken. I might actually have broken many more things with this patch but it at least compiles and basic functionality is working for me. I will be testing this and as I find more stuff I might post more patches. Remember you need libav-static 0.9.2. http://pastie.org/6346669

oh guys I have updated my system and zoneminder no longer works and I am unable to compile it against libav-static. I cant figure it out atm.

Unfortunetly it's not it I also had problem with thumbnails and /var/cache/zoneminder is in my open_basedir. pvagner are you able to create video from events?

pvagner commented on 2013-01-31 08:27 (UTC)

@fraterius check whether php configuration allows accessing /var/cache/zoneminder/ I assume you are having the same issue I have described in my previous comment. Check your openbase_dir setting inside php.ini or if you have modified it then you can also do the settings per virtualhost.

Have small issue while trying to make avi out of event. It used to work in old version but now it's not. Not sure what exactly is the reason. Browser throws me: Video Generation Failed! The log is here: http://dpaste.com/hold/898229/ From my part everything seems to be ok, that's why I'm writing here.

another little issue. If you will check WEB_LIST_THUMBNAILS in the Options -> Web you will notice the system is unable to generate thumbnails. The fix is to also add /var/cache/zoneminder to the open_basedir directive inside the php.ini . while open_basedir is in effect it also resolves symlinks and path /srv/http/zoneminder/events linked to /var/cache/zoneminder/events cant be opened. I believe this is a good suggestion so this can be added into the PKGBUILD script.

Guys sorry for too many postings but I have done some further testing. I have verified when webpage executes command "zmdc.pl check" that script is unable to connect to the socket /tmp/zoneminder/zmdc.sock as client. I have tried to set full permissions on the /tmp/zoneminder folder what should give all users who can actually use sockets right to indeed connect to that socket. Still this does not solve our issue. Finally I have tried setting suid on the file zmdc.pl what should enable anyone running that script with a root privileges. Still the client socket is not working. I am not using selinux and I have installed nothing like that. What the hell might be blocking this functionality on this system? I think this is essential functionality for zoneminder to work correctly and either I am experiencing it alone or it must be something verry new. This is all on a fresh arch install.

I have found out that to solve zoneminder.service not starting using systemctl command I can also edit zoneminder.service and add aline User=http This way even zmpkg.pl file will be run as the user http. And it will have enough rights to read a file /etc/zm.conf with permissions set to rwx------. I have ensured every zm daemon is running as the user http and still web service written in php is unable to exec or shel_exec a command "zmdc.pl check". The command runs but does not correctly identify the status. I am suspecting http user is unable to connect into the socket although it is all weird because all the files /tmp/zoneminder/*.sock are all created by user http with proper permissions. I am verry new to arch but I am afraid we are triggering some security measure here because even me logged in as a normal user which is a member of the group users is unable to run zmdc.pl check and get the correct status of the zoneminder service. Guys please please help me out if you can

Okay guys I am unable to do this remaining fix. However in the file ajax/status.php there is a reference to function daemonCheck() inside the includes/functions.php . This function uses exec to launch a command "zmdc.pl check". When I manually execute this from a console as a normal user it prints stopped into the stdout. When I execute it manually as root it correctly outputs running. I have tried allowing http user to spawn a shell. If I use su and run "zmdc.pl check" as the user http it also gives back running. So how does php execute this and which permission might affect this?

The problem with systemd service not starting zoneminder properly has something to do with permissions of the following file: /etc/zm.conf after a clean install it reads as follows -rwx------ 1 http http In this state you can go to the zoneminder web interface and you will get a word stopped at the top header. Clicking that word will allow you to start zoneminder however this will not be started as a systemd service. I have attempted to change the permissions of that file by running chmod +r /etc/zm.conf Now I can perfectly start zoneminder by running systemctl start zoneminder however web console does report that the zoneminder is stopped so one more fix is in order.
