hi you can try to set a new admin password via phpmyadmin: select zm database and user table. select the line with the username admin and choose edit. enter a new password and choose "PASSWORD" as function. the password function of mysql has changed in the past maybe thats the problem here. hope ...

Still not a fix, but a more secure workaround is to password protect the /var/www/zm folder using htaccess (enable it on /etc/apache/httpd.conf, then use htpasswd to generate the pass).

Extracted from ZM Manual (available under 'Documentation'): "Running in authenticated mode is recommended if your system is open to the internet at all. During installation a fully privileged user ‘admin’ has been created with a password also of ‘admin’. If you are using authentication you should cha ...

same thing here ... My ZM 1.22.3 system was installed & working with auth=on ... when upgraded to Debian 4.0, it started correctly but when I try to login, it displays the same login page (as if I had input wrong user/pass). Temporary workaround is to disable authentication (go to config database on ...

Can an Athlon 700mhz w/ 512mb ram handle motion detection on a 4cam system (bt878 chip capture card, color, 352x288)?

Whats the best modect preset to use on this case (Fast/Best)?

hey jan thanks for this nice guide. I've already used it a couple times and it's by far the easiest way to set up a zm system in less than 20 minutes. Reading this guide using lynx is the worst part! :P And of course ... Debian - should you build any security system using other distro than that? I ...

makes sense...watching live feeds at higher fps

tks!

How many FPS should I set my camera to store events at? I mean, what is the minimum rate to have a good quality viewable event? My cameras are currently running at 5 fps each ... this takes lots of space to store events. And what is the better way to limit this: to set MAX FPS or to SKIP EVERY x ...

This is a great complete guide!

I was simply ignoring my shared memory errors until I found this guide

Other than that I compiled latest Apache (2.2.0), PHP (5.1.2) and MySQL (5.0.18) on my SuSE 10.0 (32bit). Everything working ok.

Thanks!

I've compiled xvid-1.1.0 and enabled it while compiling ffmpeg (latest cvs), but does anyone know how to make it work with zoneminder?

My 1.22 ZM generates mpegs and avi ok, usually a 8MB avi or mpg (avi slight bigger in size) for a 300sec (5min) event.

thanks for any help

Yes it is running. (should I be running it anyway?)
thanks so far.

I have just replicated this situation and it's exactly as described. BTW, something else happens in this scenario: Changing run state to a 'saved state' while monitors are in a previously disabled state won't enable them - even when the states table is corrected the way proposed. The other way ...

I have the following on my zmdc.log 02/06/06 10:23:30.905281 zmdc[6027].INF ['zmupdate.pl -c' starting at 06/02/06 10:23:30, pid = 6122] stream /dev/conslog is not writable at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 294 console is not writable at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 ...

I was going nuts with some php problems on my new SuSE 10.0 installation and decided to compile latest versions for everything, so I'm running zm on:

Apache 2.2.0
PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 5.0.18

so far no problems whatsoever. Am I just lucky?
