Newbie: No picture is shown

[simonm]

Hello,
i am completely new to zoneminder. I have set up a Debian Sarge machine and installed the newest version of zm.
In the web interface i have defined a new monitor, which in my case is a Axis 205.
I entered http://192.168.0.111/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi as image source, but when I klick on thie Monitor, i am getting no image.

What am i doing wrong?

The first steps are the hardest, I know....

Regards,
Simon

did you enable remote cameras?

don't you need some authentication? can you access the image via browser with http://192.168.0.111/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi ?

are your image settings correct (size, color)?

the source adress is only the IP (without http://). the path would be axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi
but i guess you need video.cgi or something similiar.

If you could provide some more info it would be helpful.
Please see: Wiki FAQ - Trouble shooting

So I did apt-get install the libpcre package, compiled zm again.
I deleted zm database, created a new one (with the SQL script) and created a new monitor - but when I do a
tail -f zm* in /tmp/, i get the following:
