i had some trouble using "inverted" with network cameras... maybe turning it off would help.

another thing is to use "regular expressions" in the network options.

can you access the camera with http://10.0.0.2 without user/password? are you sure its 640x480 with 24 bit?

if it is still does not work, you should give us some log file snippets.

yeah there lots of possibles here
You need to check you logs too
Check what the image returned from a browser or wget is (size wise) you coulbe be having shared mem errors (shmget) or path issues etc

In your paths settings for ZM_PATH_ZMS this should be the relative to the web root not your drive root ie. /cgi-bin/zms
Everything else looks good. Some logs would help.
Run the following command:
tail -f /tmp/zm*.log /var/log/messages

Then from another console window restart zm and try to view your monitor. Post the logs after the restart.

Did you correct your config error???

And rather than go through all your logs just the snips posted here on the forum would be fine.

what camera is this an axis?
It appears as if zm isnt getting imagaes and this could be a shared mem isue of a size of image issue.
Plus as suggested keep the comfig as std as possible before inverting images so turn this off.

Is this machine available over the net?
If so, If you would like, I can log-in and take a look and see if I can get you going.
Just PM the info to me including your setup so I don't have to poke around to much to find out what it is.

Corey

Problem solved.
There were three things going on here.
First the path for zms was not correct and didn't go with the alias for the cgi-bin directory in http.conf
The path under the paths tab in zm options is relitive to the web root and not the drive root.
/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/zms is the drive root and should be /cgi-bin/zms
Second the alias was wrong in httpd.conf so I commented out the bad line and added the correct alias

Code: Select all

# Alias.
#
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/

The real cgi-bin should never really be in the real web root. That just bad ju ju.

The other issue was the shared memory was set to small for shmmax.

Cheers,
Corey
