ZoneMinder Forums

phil, I stopped the audit process as you suggested, but don't know what i should be looking for as a result of this command. monitor 1 (named front) is going into/back/left alarm status from the /var/log/messages file. grepping for just the front related messages, there is just normal looking stuff ...

nope, the console shows all the events. I have a cameras pointed at the cash register, front and back. All of them show events, and alarms seem to be triggered as before. It's when i click on the event to view it, that the event viewing window has a broken image. And when I try to track down the ...

also, this machine is on a nightly reboot via cronjob.

I stopped zm and did a mysqlcheck -A to repair all the databases.

nothing reported wrong, and the events are still unviewable/not there.

I've got a machine running zoneminder 1.22.2 on ubuntu dapper. It's got 3 cameras connected to a 4 chip bt card. It had been working without problems for about 5 (?) months, but a month back, I noticed some really old events with wierd timestamps, and so I deleted them. This caused all events to ...

i'm running ubuntu 6.06 with apache 2.0.55 on 3 machines. I saw a bit of a problem with high loads until i upped the shared memory, but i haven't been seeing any particular problem with nph-zms processes hanging around after the client closes. these machines are intel boxes (1.5 ghz and up), 1 gig ...

So I'm guessing that some people are able to view locally and it should be do-able on a sufficiently powerful and properly setup system.

But some people aren't, thus the work on local viewers that pull data straight out of shared memory.

thanks.

I used a headless test system to evaluate zoneminder, and after I got it working I was happy. I replaced a geoview system with zoneminder, also a headless server and again it worked. I was able to view live feeds and montages. I replaced two more geovieew systems and these are not headless systems ...

the reason i turned the firewall (shorewall i think it was on that distro) was that even when I set exceptions to the rules to allow some service or other to come in, it still didnt' work for me. Don't know if it was a mandrake problem, firewall problem or simple user error, but I could never get it ...

The versions of mandrake I've used the past (the last two major releases) have firewall rules that prevent outside access. You'll need to either relax the firewall rules, or as I usually did, just turn the damn thing off. Since you're behind a nat router, only port forward the services you want. And ...

Use the README and the forum search. I was able to get it going on ubuntu using those. The thing that tripped me up the longest was the modprobe stuff and I updated the wiki with that info. Hopefully that'll work for you. In my opinion, it would probably help a lot of newbies if the wiki was ...

I had similar symptoms on my 1.8Ghz celeron with 1 GB of ram. After running about 12 hours or so, the system was so slow and unresponsive a login would take about 30 seconds or so to complete, and the httpd server was extremely slow to respond. I was running a basic system, with 4 camera inputs. 1st ...

I concur with James. Those tags look like php isn't getting interpreted. Create the following file in your webtree (and delete it as soon as you're done if this is accessible from the internet): name it info.php: <?php phpinfo(); ?> point your browser to the file you just created. If you see a big ...

I can't seem to figure this one out. zmtrigger.pl just hangs regardless of the arguments on the command line.

Is it a daemon that listens for events? Or is it the interface to trigger events?

So I used the purgewhenfull filter (as suggested in the faq/readme :) to delete events when the disk gets over 90% full. I'm confused about the difference between a filter that is saved and when it is executed. Does the filter stay and get executed indefinately, or is it a one time shot? If it's a ...

do you have any tips on where to start? anything that isn't obvious, but if you had known, would have helped you understand the architecture and processes more quickly? I haven't started down this road yet, as I'm still try to grasp it from the user side. Unless there are any objections, I'll make ...
