Bug 72002 – www-misc/zoneminder version bumped, please test

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jakub Sadowski 2004-11-21 18:11:59 UTC]

ZoneMinder 0.9.12 installation does not create /var/log/zoneminder directory which should have apache:apache as it's owner and is necessary for zoneminder's components to create individual log files.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge and configure zoneminder
2. su to root
2. Temporarily change user apache's login shell to bash (usermod -s /bin/bash apache)
3. Change to user apache (su - apache)
4. Change to the zoneminder directory (cd /home/httpd/zoneminder)
5. Run "/usr/bin/perl -Tw /usr/bin/zmdc.pl start zmc"
6. exit and change user apache's login shell back to false (usermod -s /bin/false apache)

Actual Results:  
Recieved an error message in regards to /var/log/zoneminder not being a directory.

Expected Results:  
Started the zmc (ZoneMinder capture) daemon - this is one of the steps that
occurs when you click "Start" on the main page of the (online) ZoneMinder console.

ZoneMinder 0.9.12
Apache 2.0.52-r1
PHP 5.0.2-r1

I don't know what ZoneMinder is, but it defintiely isn't part of catalyst... ;]

no metadata.xml; added CCs based on ChangeLog entries.

Note - version 1.19.5  is available. Seems to be a webapp kinda program.

[Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-12-22 10:02:29 UTC]

Daniel, don't just sit there in CC, do something =P

[Comment 5 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2004-12-22 12:58:28 UTC]

sorry for passing the buck but I'd rather focus my efforts on those bugs I know how to fix. I have thought about getting webapp proficient at some stage but there a lot I want to achieve before then.

22nd March 2005: zoneminder 1.21.0 is out.

[Comment 8 Raimondo Giammanco 2005-04-11 00:26:56 UTC]

Created attachment 55959 [details]
Proposed ebuild for 1.21.0

Ebuild for 1.21.0 working for me. Needs a config file I put in /root  for the
time being.

[Comment 9 Raimondo Giammanco 2005-04-11 00:28:40 UTC]

Created attachment 55960 [details]
config file for zoneminder installation

This file needs to be edited in the "INSERT_HERE" places.

[Comment 10 Raimondo Giammanco 2005-04-11 00:32:19 UTC]

I think I installed zoneminder in bit and pieces, and I had already created the database with the proper user and tables. In anycase I changed as well 

<               $command = "su ".ZM_WEB_USER." -c '$command'";
---
>               $command = "su ".ZM_WEB_USER." --shell=/bin/sh --command='$command'";

But I am not sure this change is actually necessary. 

You will most likey incurr in the shmget can't get memory, there is the solution in the faq http://www.zoneminder.com/index.php?id=41&backPID=33&tx_faq_faq=10

Hope this helps.

Not sure what this doing on webapps-request@ (which is an alias for new package requests for web-related applications, which zoneminder obviously is not since it's in portage already).

[Comment 12 MAL 2005-04-11 04:58:52 UTC]

Because the version in portage isn't a webapp (doesn't use webapp.eclass), yet.

[Comment 13 Renat Lumpau (RETIRED) 2005-07-07 11:44:09 UTC]

1.21.2 is in CVS, please test

media-video folks - could you look it over and make sure it's ok?

[Comment 14 Giacomo Graziosi 2005-07-23 09:21:50 UTC]

1.21.3 is out.

[Comment 15 Renat Lumpau (RETIRED) 2005-08-08 14:40:51 UTC]
