When I add cameras it seems to not complain. Everything looks like it's trying to work until you click montage or an individual camera fo view. I get an incomplete webpage with no video. Here's all the errors I found find. Nothing really clues me in so I'm hoping someone with more experiance here ...

I'm running ZM 1.27.1 on Slackware 14.1. I'm not getting any video and this is the error that comes up over and over again in the log. zmwatch 1531 ERR Memory map file '/dev/shm/zm.mmap.6' should have been 896 but was instead 0 zmwatch.pl I tested the DVR card and am able to record video using ...

Success!

I just changed it to the non-parsing header zms file because it wouldn't download and now video is streaming.

Thank you for your help.

The PATH_ZMS you have set is a relative path. You need to change it to: /cgi-bin/zms to make it an absolute path. It should then work. NOTE: trying to fetch anything from 192.168.1.1/zm/cgi-bin/.. will still attempt to download the file because apache doesn't know its a cgi-bin. To change this ...

I'm in that IRC room but I just got the call that I have to be at work an hour earlier in the morning. So I need to get to bed very soon.

Thanks for your help and I will be on tomorrow if you are around.

Is it on EFNet and what channel?

Restarted Apache and ZMS still wants to download.

PATH_ZMS zm/cgi-bin/zms

has been changed to

PATH_ZMS cgi-bin/zms

<Directory>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI

Removed ExecCGI just from the DocumentRoot section.

Can you post the apache config file on pastebin please as well as a tail of the following log, apache error_log, and what path is configured in zm.conf for ZM_PATH_CGI and iin the ZM Options/paths/ ZM_PATH_ZMS? Did you make a backup of the config files before you changed/touched any of them and ...

My httpd.conf file is identical to that already.

Just made sure it was set to execute and still displays the guts of the test file.

When I renamed the file to just "test" it just displayed the code in the browser.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 1739398 2010-02-02 17:59 nph-zms
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 1739398 2010-02-02 21:08 zms

I did and just checked it to make sure it took.

Sorry I misunderstood you. The timestamp changed on the httpd.conf file when I restarted the server. I know it's having an effect too because I can removed the directive and my test.cgi file won't run. I think your right about the the log entry being of the URL you sent me to directly access the zms ...

Time stamp didn't change, -rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 1739398 2010-02-02 18:08 zms This is what the access log says. 192.168.1.240 - - [02/Feb/2010:20:45:10 -0500] "GET /zm/cgi-bin/zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=8 HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 ...

Added +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch with no luck. Just to test to see if a cgi could be parsed by my webserver I created a test.cgi and placed it in the same directory as the zms file. It's a simple cgi script set up to print hello world and works fine in the browser. The web server parsed it with no ...
