Can't find files

Post by spivieguy1 »

So I ran ./configure --with-webdir=</var/www/html> --with-cgidir=</var/www/cgi-bin>

Then I spent several rounds of ./configure makeing sure I had all the components installed (such as libmysqlclient) I'm running lastes stable of debian headless.

After resolving the mysql user an pwd I get do the make and can navagate to the zm.php. I have added my camera (/dev/video0). But get no picture. At the top the ZM console says "stopped"

Also I go to my zm_config.php and see were everything is pointing to. I got no errors in my perl or make, however the directories where zm thinks the "ZM_CONFIG, ZM_PATH_BIN...etc" do not actually exist. Where do I go from here? rebuid zm?

Also the path it listed were not the ones is specified by --with-webdir and --with-cgidir

You need to remove the < > from your syntax. See the readme, man_err
Should be:
./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-mysql=/usr

You should also set the permisions here --with-webuser= and --with-webgroup= I think was the syntax.

Thanks, I feel a little silly. newbie mistake and all... I fixed that via ssh, but I'll have to wait until I get home to see if it really worked, as I can't get my router to foward properly now.
