Description

This problem can easily be resolved by enabling PHP short tags. You can find this setting in /etc/php.ini, change short_open_tag to On. The problem should be solved by replacing all short tags in the zoneminder files to the full <?php tags. I had the same problem in the original report. I can confirm that the solution in comment #1 worksforme. i can confirm also; and agree with the proposed fix. (In reply to comment #1) For completeness, you have to restart Apache once you changed php.ini: service httpd restart This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This bug still exists in Fedora 14 in zoneminder-1.24.2-5.fc14.x86_64. Perhaps a note could be added to the /usr/share/doc/zoneminder-1.24.2/README.Fedora file mentioning that /etc/php.ini needs this: -short_open_tag = Off +short_open_tag = On The problem here, of course, is that Fedora's php changed the default for short_open_tag from On to Off between F11 and F12. My production camera server is still on F11 so I never personally noticed the change. I'm just a co-maintainer here and this isn't my area of expertise, but Martin doesn't seem to be around so I've attempted the easy fix. Since we already install an apache .conf file, I've added php_value short_open_tag 1 on the appropriate directory. Testing shows that this works fine, though I suppose it's always possible that I've missed something or that this won't work for all configurations. Sorry it took so long for a trivial fix. zoneminder-1.24.2-6.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/zoneminder-1.24.2-6.fc14 zoneminder-1.24.2-6.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update zoneminder'. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/zoneminder-1.24.2-6.fc14 zoneminder-1.24.2-6.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
