I was able to install a Gentoo kernel and get Zoneminder running.  I appreciate the help with Fedora...I just got frustrated when it wouldn't work.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've installed Zoneminder on Fedora 12 and it looks like everything is working ok (httpd starts, mysqld starts, zoneminder starts). &nbsp;But when I log into the console, the screen says &quot;ZoneMinder Console - Stopped.&quot; &nbsp;I click on the Stopped and try to start it and the little window says, &quot;Applying state change&quot; and then clears out but the console still says, &quot;stopped.&quot;<br />
<br />
From what I've read, it leans towards a permissions issue or runlevel issue, but I can't figure it out. &nbsp;I'm going to try to install Zoneminder onto a Gentoo server to compare....

Can't get Zoneminder service to start in console

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
