No image in Monitor window

[newtof]

Hello everybody,

I can't see the video stream when I'm clicking on the monitor view (called "Cuisine").
To make it happen until now, I just followed the useful Installation Guide "Easy Way: Ubuntu 16.04" and the install went perfectly.
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with ZM 1.30.4
Here is the camera settings (model is ESCAM QD520 1/4" CMOS 720P):

Code: Select all

Source type: Ffmpeg

I'm getting the following errors:

So I tried to change the PATH_ZMS to "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms" or ""/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/zms" (was /cgi-bin/nph-zms by default) but same error

My zoneminder.conf file:

Code: Select all

# Remember to enable cgi mod (i.e. "a2enmod cgi").
ScriptAlias /zm/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin"
<Directory "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin">
    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /zm /usr/share/zoneminder/www
<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www>
  Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

And cgi seems enabled:

Code: Select all

newtof@linda:/etc/apache2/conf-enabled$ sudo a2enmod cgi
Module cgi already enabled

Do you have any idea?

Thank you very much!

Read the important final step line in the WIKI install for the correct PATH_ZMS

Thanks bbunge! It works now!

It was effectively written in the "Socket_sendto or no live streaming" section...
