I reverted all the changes regarding CGI on: /etc/apache2/default-server.conf and /usr/local/etc/zm.conf the result is that now I recovered the monitors, zones, replay and events are being recorded in the new dedicated drive. So, it seems like to get events being recorded in a dedicated drive, the c...

I have done more attempts. Point 4) with path as events, sounds and images instead of their full path. The result is the same. Recorded events but no replay... Same problem described in: http://www.zoneminder.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4393 But some of the mentioned files and folders do not exist in ...

Hi! As the events can need huge storage sizes, to modify the ZM setting to use a dedicated and bigger drive. I looked in the forum for a howto on the needed changes but I did not find it. So here is my partially successfull experience. It may be useful for other newbies like me. I use ZM over Suse10...

Hi Corey, Phil and other friends. I saw that the folder /svr/ was created only during ZM isntallation, so I just noted the permissions of every file and folder inside it, and then rename the folder to the /srv/ and rebooted the pc. The result is owesome. It is the first time I see ZM working and it ...

Hi Corey, thanks so much for helping me. I check the folders and there is something weird. When I configured zm, all the folders for cgi-bin and htdocs were under /srv/www/, but the error mentions a problem to change to the path /svr/www. In fact only the folder "srv" exists. I have no ide...

Hi! I did added the line that I deleted during the installation: . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions Nothing changed... I get the same error when opening a zone dialogue: Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: Permission denied (errno 13) in /svr/www/htdocs/zm_html_view_zones.php on line [/color] Because the e...

Hi! It happened to me too, and the same way. Finally I installed everything from scratch again, repeating everyting and it worked for me. I am very new on this so, maybe somebody else can help you better than me, and therefore to prevent you from doing something that radical.
Good luck!

Hi James. Thanks so much for your help. I am new on ZM but I have received a very nice support. Without it I would have never got this far. I checked the zmwatch.log file, I saw all the "Shared memory not valid" errors from days ago. But since yesterday I only have two new lines per day, w...

Hi James! I did not edit the modprobes. but finally I got it. You will hate me for wasting your time this way... Well, the problem was Konqueror. I checked all the plugins and they are installed but as soon as I tested entering to ZM trough Firefox, the image was there... I did some tests. And gray ...

Hi James, I decreased the FPS to 2, but no change. The specifications of the box are: Screen: Samsung SyncMaster 793v Video board: MSI with the NVidia's FX5200 chip Mainboard: ASUS K8N with NVidia nForce3 250 CPU: AMD Athlon 64 2800+ RAM: 1 DDR400 of 512 mb.

Hi James, It seems like you are right. Here is the last part of the log file: New, shared memory not valid] 04/20/06 11:36:20.857139 zmwatch[11837].INF ['zmc -d' started at 06/04/20 11:36:20] at /usr/local/bin/zmwatch.pl line 118 04/20/06 11:36:30.863800 zmwatch[11837].ERR [Can't get shared memory i...

Hi James, Thanks for your help. I did try with 320x240, and all the palettes combinations. Also using /dev/video0 and video1. The result is that on the monitor dialogue, there is only a white blank square where it should be the camera display. Somehow it looks like when you surf with an internet bro...

Hi badfish, I am very new on ZM. In fact I have not been able to set my cameras yet. But during my short experience I had the same symptom than you. I do not know if your case is due to the same reasons, but the problem I had was that I installed my distro from scratch and then it was the first time...

Hi, I got ZM running ok, but no monitor so far. I tested pre-settings and several alternatives without success (/dev/videox with x=0 to 10, signal =1, all the palettes, the manufacture resolution 510x492 as well as 640x480, and the combinations of them). Both, Kdetv and Xawtv open always with proble...

Thank to all of your kind support, finally I have ZM running on my box (Athlon 64) with opensuse 10.0. I re-installer everything from scratch. Then the only changes to the original howto were: ** in CPAN section Answered with 'Yes' to autoinstall, as well as all the cases of questions about 'Shall I...
