The ip of the machine is: 163.241.30.101 its trying to get: Host: 163.241.30.4 Port: 80 Path: /test_data/nearfield/itworks_batch_itworks_serial/zm/itworks_serial.jpg Its SuSE 8.2 with ZM 1.19.3. wget works fine as the user that zoneminder is using. Is there something special about the image size ...

Sorry to be such a bother. but... I am trying to connect to a remote camera. I can get to the image using a browser, but when I put the info into zoneminder, the ip is red. The log says: May 19 12:33:26 linux-udp234115uds zmc-m11[2771]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = ] May 19 12:33:26 linux ...

Thanks, that works great.

Is it possible to change a camera from monitor to modect from a prompt (or script?) I would like to have a cron job that turn the camera to modect at night and then during the day it is just on monitor. This would cut down on the number of bogus event we get.

Thanks

It turns out I had changed the user the webserver ran under. I changed it back and now everything is fine.

Thanks for your help

I increased shmall and shmmax to 1,134,217,728 (just to be sure.) But the problem is still there. The capture is working properly. May 13 16:21:43 linux-udp233863uds zmc-d0[5276]: INF [back: 4000 - Capturing at 20.00 fps] The problem I have is "permission denied" and not "invalid argument."

Hi, I had a version of zoneminder (.9) running. Recently my system changed and I installed 1.19.3. Zoneminder starts and will record, but the preview and setup for the zones returns broken pictures. /var/log/messages has this error when you go to the preview page. May 13 13:21:00 linux-udp233863uds ...

there were log files in the /tmp directory - zmaudit.log zmdc.log zmpkg.log zmwatch.log I deleted them to get a fresh set and the I started it with /etc/init.d/zm start and everything worked fine. It is now up and running. :) Strange. Thank you for all your help and thanks for this great program.

zmpkg.pl start takes a while and then exits. then zmpkg.pl status says "stopped" /var/log/messages doesn't say much, but /tmp/zmpkg.log says: Executing: su apache --shell=/bin/sh --command='/usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl start zmwatch.pl' Can't open log file: Permission denied at /usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl line ...

when i use
./configure ...... --with-webuser=root --with-webgroup=root
zm start works (the webpage still doesn't)

but when I configure with any other user and group,
zm start doesn't work.

What is your configure statement? I think my problem is with the user. I changed the webuser and webgroup to root and zoneminder seems to start (zm status).

The console still says it is stopped.

Sorry, I am a newbie and linux and permissions.

Thanks

Great, Thanks. Is there any way to get zm to tell you what its doing? I set VERBOSE=1 in zmpkg.pl and zmdc.pl but I don't see any messages. Also, I can start the processes using zmdc.pl start (process.) I went through zmpkg.pl and started all the commands it called manual. The streaming of the live ...

(Tom) - Thanks, that cleared up one problem, its still not starting though.

I was able to get zoneminder to work over the weekend. (We caught some felons dumping leaves.) :) But, now it doesn't want to start on boot, or via the command prompt. When I run /etc/init.d/zm start I get Starting ZoneMinder: /etc/init.d/zm: line 17: echo_success: command not found It takes a long ...

thanks, that cleared it up.
