No picture on the watch screen.

Just place cambozola.jar in your web directory (with all the zm php files) and in options check the box to use cambozola.

I've got absolutely the same problem, and I do tried using cambozola.jar, but it says "No certain content type" or something very close to that.

Edit: I've noticed another thing - at the zone setup window I got images, but the live feed still doesn't work.

HAHAHAHHAHAH
I've found the solution, at least for me it worked.
It was in one of your posts Phil

It's a bit of a long shot but try changing ZMS_PATH to use nph-zms instead of just zms?

Otherwise try putting cambozola on your server and forcing ZM to use that. Wther that works or not might help figure out where to look next.

Phil,

So that is the solution, but inverted - by default ZM_PATH_ZMS in version 1.22.0 is set to /cgi-bin/nph-zms, in order to work I have changed it to /cgi-bin/zms
Hell yeah! My problems are over!!!!!

Good find. That worked for me too.

Thanks for all of your help.

Hi, all,
ZoneMinder 1.22 works very well on my FC4, but the cambozola.jar. Any idea?
Where should this error log be?

I answered in your original post. Please don't double post as it is not required here in this forum. We try to keep up and if you don't get a reply (don't happen very offten) then we don't have the answer. Occationaly one does slip by but not very offten.

hey... i just have same problem,
having upgraded from 1.21.4 to 1.22.0.rc4 and the images on watch / cycle screen gone away...

slack 10.1 here , kernel 2.6.15 vanilla.

maybe there is something wrong in our distro common setting!?

[cordel]

I would use the released 1.22.0 instead of one of the release canidates or wait for 1.22.1.

Corey

[sugacapra]

ok i'll do the downgrade in the afternoon (now i can't ) and let you know if something goes better.

Using the 1.21.4 is not a choice, there is too much juice in the 1.22.0 also i want to help as i can so having the edge version help me keeping high my attention on the project (i'm a bit lazy..)

Hi, I had exactly the same problem:

When I open up the watch window, Zoneminder usually shows the current live video feed from the canera.
I can force an event and view the capture and I see the images just fine.
The same is true for the Cycle / Montage views.
If I setup a zone, I can see the image.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Could see event image but no image on watch window. Maybe your problem is different, but since symptons are the same, here it goes:

on http error_log I noticed:

[error] [client 192.168.1.5] script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/cgi-bin/nph-zms, referer: http://localhost/index.php?view=watchfe ... 0&control=

I checked /var/www/cgi-bin/ and nph-zms was not there, because I had put it on /srv/www/cgi-bin. Then I realized that it was missing:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /srv/www/cgi-bin/

on httpd's VirtualHost definition for where I have put ZoneMinder. And...it solved.

Consider checking you httpd logs.

Sergio.

that's cool... same here. NOW this is just a solved problem !
thanks... that was a headache less.

[johabba]

Same issue here.

I could see stills on forced alarms, when I set zones, and use that path that was posted earlier that goes directly to the streaming images, but no live streaming.

I switched my path to zms streaming server from /cgi-bin/zms-nph to /cgi-bin/zms and I could view live streams right away.

Adding to this thread because it's relevant

So I started from scratch with 1.22.1, not upgrade. Ran uninstall on 1.22.0, made sure all web directories/cgi-bin are empty. Compiled, installed 1.22.1 just fine.

Default install is using nph-zms to view streams. This didn't work for me - no errors in logs, everything looked clean. As soon as I switched to zms, all started working...

Wondering what's the difference between nph-zms and zms. And why wouldn't nph-zms work since it's the default?

Using Firefox and debian.

Thanks

as far as i know nph-zms means non parsed headers and means that apace does less with them than the zms as apache does something different. I guess this is a zm/apache issue with non parsed headers but i dont really understand that side of it and shouldnt comment!! lol
