Thanks for the help, I ended up doing a complete reinstall of Linux and got it all working in the end. Cheers.

Thanks for the tip, the %R will do the trick but I don't think it's going to help the situation. I was only doing that to determine if the script was in fact being executed and it wasn't. Thanks.

Ok, moving along now ... I still have no idea about why email and FTP isn't working. The script problem is here: [/home/user]# su -c '/home/user/scripts/zmnotify.sh' apache touch: cannot touch `PM': Permission denied So I'll have to find a quick workaround for that - probably just su inside the ...

Ok, good news and bad news. I changed the zone to exclusive, so now it was monitoring everything except for the window. Running as modect function and the motion detection worked, it recorded for the 30secs and when I left it changed the status to idle. I'm still yet to see the alarm state, but that ...

Ok, I have an interesting situation. Using modetect function, the monitor is idling without any problems, but then it jumps into alert state when there's motion. Now, i presume that it goes into alarm state first, and I'm just not seeing this (I'm yet to confirm this though). The problem lies in ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually reinstalled from the LiveCD and just used the MBR because I'm pretty much finished with Windows XP. I do have two options now, ZoneMinder or /mnt/win_c, I haven't tried to boot to the latter just yet - might give that a go later on. If it doesn't work hopefully ...

Ok, you're not going to believe this. When I added more RAM, I must have slightly bumped the cable out - whooopss! So since I've been getting the blue screen, it's been working. I realised this because I just fired up xawtv to make sure it was all still working, and well I got the blue screen ...

Alrighty, well I've read over what each of the processes does and so furth and am getting a better understanding of it all. I checked the zmdc.log and it said: Can't find process with command of 'zmc -d 0' Can't find process with command of 'zma -m 1' Can't find process with command of 'zmc -d 0 ...

Sorry, I meant to update you with that information. It was indeed not running. When I started running zmc manually I had more success, I got either a blue screen (for RGB/YUV) or a grey screen for greyscale (jpeg mode). When attempting to stream mpeg, it started to connect, which it didn't do at all ...

I'm still getting the Apache errors in the second post... I'm not sure if this helps at all... probably not: [user httpd]$ wget -S h**p://127.0.0.1/zm/index.php?view=watchfeed&mode=still&mid=1&scale=100 --20:30:18-- h**p://127.0.0.1/zm/index.php?view=watchfeed => `index.php?view=watchfeed ...

Ok, well we can rule out a lack of RAM. I have just boosted it from 265MB to 768MB SDRAM...

Ok, well I increased my shared memory, now i'm getting the latter error message regarding the 'not initilization' (17:33) ec 1 17:03:54 videoserver zmu[5278]: ERR [Can't shmget, probably not enough shared memory space free: Invalid argument] Dec 1 17:03:57 videoserver zmu[5282]: ERR [Can't shmget ...

Alright, well i've done a completely clean install from Ross Melin's LiveCD and all seems to be working, well as much as I had it working when doing an install on a RH installation. I simply can't get a picture at all when adding the monitor to zm. This is what I get when I dump the ouptut while ...
