Zoneminder fails to start if "short_open_tag" is set to "Off" in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini; the change to Off (recommended) is what has precipitated this bug. A workaround is to set this to "On"
Searching /usr/share/zoneminder/includes/functions.php for short opening tags reveals just one, on line 651: <option value="<?= $contentValue ?>"<?php if ( $value == $contentValue ) \ { ?> selected="selected"<? } ?>><?= validHtmlStr($contentText) ?></option> Changing to "selected="selected"<?php }" allows Zoneminder to start for me whilst leaving "short_open_tag" set to "Off" I have tested this precisely once, so I reserve the right to be wrong. anxiousmac -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
