I ended up throwing the entire ZM install away (purge) and reinstalling the package from Debian unstable. Surprisingly enough, it is working now.

Found the problem: When the machine was rebooted, another program started and took hold of the webcam device!

/# su - www-data
www-data@server:~$

Its shell is /bin/sh

Yep: ~# sudo usage: sudo -K | -L | -V | -h | -k | -l | -v usage: sudo [-HPSb] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] { -e file [...] | -i | -s | <command> } And when I run 'sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/zmfix', nothing happens (ie it starts and I'm dropped back to command prompt without any message).

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Alas, it doesn't help. zmfix remains quiet.

Debian testing, ZM 1.22.3 (installed from unstable package)

no matter what I do, all I get is:

ERR [Unable to run "sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/zmfix", output is ""]

Is there a way to debug what zmfix is doing? (the SQL base looks OK, access is OK too)

Got the same issue here on my Debian (testing) system (zm 1.22.3) . I removed the zmDbgSetSignal() line, now it runs further but complains about SQL errors: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the ...

c.f. subject. If I try to login and mistype my password, I cannot login at all any more. I keep getting redirected to the login page even if I am 100% certain that I typed the correct userid and pw. Only after restarting the browser (or manually wiping out the ZMSESSID cookie) are logins possible ...

I can confirm this. nph-zms doesn't work with FireFox (shows a broken image) but works with Cambozola and vice versa.

Poking around a little, I guess you need to split the hostname, username and password fields to get it to work. From the RFC: (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2617.txt) To receive authorization, the client sends the userid and password, separated by a single colon (":") character, within a base64 [7 ...

It looks like this is still broken.

Doing zmc -H user:pass@10.10.10.10 -P 80 -p /jpg/fullsize.jpg

results in:

ERR [Can't gethostbyname(user:pass@10.10.10.10): Operation not permitted]

Ie somehow zmc doesn't split the part in front of the @ off of the hostname/address.
