Same problem here. I'm running Debian Squeeze but have enabled the testing repositories. I only installed Debian two days ago and Zoneminder today. Zoneminder version is 1.25.0-1.1+b1. Everything works fine as long as the authentication hashing is disabled. When checked in the options, I get no more streaming and errors like the following in the log:
2012-07-18 03:03:45.540806 zms[14785].ERR-zms.cpp/221 [Unable to authenticate user] 2012-07-18 03:03:45.619066 zms[14787].ERR-zms.cpp/221 [Unable to authenticate user] 2012-07-18 03:03:45.699499 zms[14789].ERR-zms.cpp/221 [Unable to authenticate user] 2012-07-18 03:03:55.145383 web_php[11732].ERR-/usr/share/zoneminder/includes/functions.php/2322 [socket_sendto( /tmp/zm/zms-499111s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory] Please note: I originally had errors along the lines of "Unable to initialise libgcrypt". I upgraded package libgcrypt11 to version 1.5.0-3 and those messages went away, but I'm still stuck with the above errors. Output of uname -r: 2.6.32-5-powerpc Ed
