Okay, I dont' think I am being clear. Let's take two identical boxes both capable of running 64-bit and each having let's say 2gb of ram. On one box I install a 64-bit flavor of linux and the other I install the 32-bit flavor of the same distribution. All things being equal, same software revs, same ...

So there is no performance difference between 32 and 64 bit linux when it comes to running zoneminder, given equal hardware?

I am going to be installing 1.24.1 on a new machine this evening and I am wondering what the best bang for the buck would be. I have been trying to research if 1.24.1 will work better on a 64-bit kernel or even better on one distro vs another but nothing is very conclusive. Does anyone have any ...

Yes and yes. Maybe I should do some digging in log files, I just though maybe the option was somewhere else where I couldn't find it.

Actually I tried that already I am still getting them as .mpg files.

Could someone tell me how to change the file format of the video attachments ZM emails? I would like ZM to email me MOV's instead of MPG files.


TIA!

Thanks for the help thus far, I have read the wikki a few times now and reading through these I'm a little more comfortable. Half of the physical RAM is a good yardstick. If I set my shared memory to half the physical RAM and I still get errors what then? More RAM? Faster machine? It's a core 2 2.x ...

I apologize in advance I have tried to track down this information in a way I can understand but I guess I'm just not getting it. I have a machine with 2 gigs of ram, I am going to go to 4 gigs so I can increase the buffers in ZM. I'm running FC4, could someone tell me what the values should be for ...

Got it! Have to add Indexes to the Options, like so:

Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks Indexes

Hope that helps someone...

Cordel, thank you so much for the assitance, it's greatly appreciated!!

No problem that seems to work now, however getting a permissions denied when browsing to /events. How do I fix that?

That is exactly what I have and my new drive is mounted as /data with /data/zm/events directories on it...

Nothing I am seeing in the logs, if I browse to "zoneminder"/events I see the old events folder on the original drive. As for permissions I'm a bit lost there :-/

Hmm, I must be missing something silly easy. I installed the drive, partitioned, formated, mounts just fine. Created directories and followed the instructions in that post to add the conf file for apache, rebooted and nothing is being saved to the new drive. Any ideas?

I would like to add a secondary drive to my zoneminder machine. Althought I'm a bit of a linux novice I'm sure I will have no problem seeing the drive in FC 4, however, I am bit lost as to what to do after that. What FS will I need on it, partitions etc... I want to have ZM store all of it's images ...

I think I got this one... I had a -i in the input options for ffmpeg... No idea how it got there but removed it and everything works great now. Sorry for the noise, hope this helps someone....
