ZoneMinder Forums

Just reinstalled xoneminder on Ubuntu 13.10. I can bring up the zoneminder page but when I click on "Add New Monitor", nothing happens. Ideas? Mine is grayed out. I have no idea what it means. I'm suspecting some kind of permissions error, and I'm using peppermint linux, which is really Ubuntu.

Anyone? Man, I'm wholly frustrated right now.

And I can't delete the one configured. any idea what is going on? This is a very odd problem, and google is of no help at all. What started this all, is wanting to add a second USB cam. I did so, but no matter how I configure it, the same camera is seen on video1 and video0. But being unable to add ...

I've fought with this forever, and I still don't have a clue what's going on.

I dont' think it's permissions related, but can't really tell. It pops up in the logs anytime I try to view the camera live or archived events - and of course, I can't.

Now I'm getting this error: socket_sendto( /tmp/zm/zms-013207s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory. It occurs when I try to look at the monitor or play ...

ok... so now a strange new issue. When I log into zm and try to look at captured video it asks for user/password

WHAT????

Grrrrrr

Wow, I stumbled across an unrelated complaint... And it solved... but only because I was guessing... The installation of Postfix and related programs... added "disable_fuction exec,shell_exec" To one of the php.ini files. The error was the the apache2 logs, not in zm. I guess I'll leave this here ...

Additional information: If you start ZM by command line, at /etc/init.d/zoneminder start, it returns "success". And other than a warning about the camera ( something about hue), there's no errors.

I built a new computer a couple weeks ago, installed Peppermint Linux ( really, it's mostly Ubuntu ) and then zoneminder. It took a bit to figure out the USB cam, but I got it working and it ran fine for a couple weeks. The computer sits in my living room by the TV and the camera watches the dogs ...
