I have taken a look to phpadmin and it's very smart! However you can't store connection info in a database table, since you need to know them BEFORE opening the database javascript:emoticon(':D') Anyway I have found they are in /usr/local/etc/zm.conf (or /etc/zm/zm.conf in the packaged ubuntu ...

If I understand corectly, Somehow you are going to have to replicate the event images across to the front end machine. This may be more CPU intensive than viewing on that machine. Could you maybe use rsync to replicate your events folder, zm php files and DB datafiles to the frontend machine and ...

Interesting idea. I wonder how it will work. Anyway, I've only been playing with Zoneminder for short while now, but you might try installing phpmyadmin on your initial ZM box. All the variables seem to be in various tables in there. I did this on Ubuntu: apt-get install phpmyadmin then go to a ...

Thanks haus, i missed that manual page... But I need to change things (db host) with ZM already installed. So the question become: "where is the <db host> parameter located, and can I change it?" For clarity, I would try to explain what I want to do. I have a ZM installed on a very low power ...

Is it possibile to configure ZM to work on a db on a different host?
(i mean not the same host were apache is)?

Thanks

Rob

Hi all, my ZM server, a low power (35 W !!) EPIA10000 based computer, which handles 7 cameras via iTuner Spectra, is somewhat busy, of course. This is not a problem in general, but it's really a pain to play back events the few times I need it after (tipically) suspected intrusions. What I need is a ...

Yes, zm needs a link in the web space to an external (to the web space)
event directory.

... and maybe your events too. I started seeing heavy load of my flat adsl router for hours! I investigated the apache log files and found that google bots were scanning all my zm events and indexing all pictures! Since zm needs they be in the web space (or linked from the web space) this may be a ...

Phil, Thanks for your replay > Even with links it should check the right disk.

Hi all, I stock events in a dedicated partition, different from the partition where zm is installed. Making proper links to allow zm find the events, all works (see previous post) but one thing: -- zmDiskPercent always gets used space from the partition where zm -- is installed(!) Purgewhenfull ...

Most likely, this error raise when the location for the log file produced along with the video (ffmpeg.log) is not writable. This expecially if you can't fint a ffmpeg.log Check in zmvideo.pl and change ">& ffmpeg.log" to "&> /tmp/ffmpeg.log" and see what happens Roberto
