I think Apache and PHP The easy way to see it is: 1. sudo apt-get install zoneminder 2. sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf 3. sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf 4. edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: - # Include all the user configurations: - Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf + # Include all the user configurations: + Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf 5. edit\make /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: - ServerName localhost + ServerName localhost - is possible add "ServerName localhost" directly in apache2.conf. + Is also possible add "ServerName localhost" directly in apache2.conf. - ______ SOURCE: ZoneMinder Forum ______ + _________________________________________ For fix the main page i found this: + (but there are other things that won't work) + + _______ SOURCE: ZoneMinder Forum _______ + The issue is in the php.ini file and is a value called - short_open_tag = Off + short_open_tag = Off - This value needs to be set to On + This value needs to be set to On - sudo nano /etc/php5/php.ini + sudo nano /etc/php5/php.ini - find the short_open_tag = Off and change it to On + find the short_open_tag = Off and change it to On - Ctrl +o to save the file - Ctrl +x to exit + Ctrl +o to save the file + Ctrl +x to exit - /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload + /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload The error log indicates a php error the function mysql_pconnect was depriciated in php 5.x.x and my Ubuntu installed php 5.5.3 changing the short_open_tag does present the zm page but I still get the mysql_pconnect message in the error log. I traced the mysql_pconnect line to /usr/shared/zoneminder/includes/database.php where it is the statement that makes a persistent connection to the database. If the command mysql_pconnect was depriciated in PHP 5.5 then I assume we are not getting a connection to the database. I also changed the mysql_pconnect command with the new mysqli_connect in 13.10 and the recieved a database select error on the page. I am sure it taks more than just replacing the command in database.php but that is beyond my skill set right now.
