2013-11-03 01:31:14 sagitt description I upgraded (fresh installation) my ubuntu server from 13.04 to 13.10. I don't know why zoneminder was not updated to 1.26 in the ubuntu sources, but i think it will have the same problem. The main web page of zoneminder won't work. there are some problems with the new packages provieded in ubuntu 13.10. 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 5. edit\make /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: ServerName localhost is possible add "ServerName localhost" directly in apache2.conf. ______ SOURCE: ZoneMinder Forum ______ For fix the main page i found this: The issue is in the php.ini file and is a value called short_open_tag = Off This value needs to be set to On sudo nano /etc/php5/php.ini find the short_open_tag = Off and change it to On Ctrl +o to save the file Ctrl +x to exit /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. I done a fresh installation of ubuntu server 13.10. I don't know why zoneminder was not updated, in the ubuntu sources, to newer version 1.26, but i think it will have the same problems. The main web page of zoneminder won't work. there are some problems with the new packages provided in ubuntu 13.10. 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 5. edit\make /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:     ServerName localhost Is also possible add "ServerName localhost" directly in apache2.conf. _________________________________________ 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     This value needs to be set to On     sudo nano /etc/php5/php.ini     find the short_open_tag = Off and change it to On     Ctrl +o to save the file     Ctrl +x to exit     /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.
