I have a 4 camera view, two of which are being used. I select the Menu button and check Auto Cycle Current View. I let the views synchronise for a while until the Menu button reappears. The next time I click on the Menu button, the menu options do NOT appear but the views keep on synchronising and eventually the unhandled exception message appears.

i will test when i get home tonight. Thanks
PS if you can could you duplicate your settings for cam 3 and 4 as in 1 and 2, and use a 4 way view on sequence. I only ask i havnt tested cycle on 2 way view.

how many cams do you have setup (if its 4 or more ignore above)

I have duplicated my two cameras in view 3 and 4 and still have the same problem.

There is a zm4ms howto on the wiki that covers this
i don't have a entry like "skip-networking" in my /etc/sysconfig/mysqld
Code: Select all
# Use the Instance Manager by default. Set to "1" to use the old mysqld_safe script.
use_mysqld_safe="0"

# (oe) set TMPDIR and TMP environment variables
TMPDIR="${datadir}/.tmp"
TMP="${TMPDIR}"

Do you have a solution for this problem?

Solved

The Entry skip-networking is in Mandiva 2007 free Edition not in /etc/sysconfig/mysqld rather in /etc/my.cnf

Code: Select all

...........................

# Don't listen on a TCP/IP port at all. This can be a security enhancement,
# if all processes that need to connect to mysqld run on the same host.
# All interaction with mysqld must be made via Unix sockets or named pipes.
# Note that using this option without enabling named pipes on Windows
# (via the "enable-named-pipe" option) will render mysqld useless!
# 
# skip-networking

lol well there is in 2006. Try downloading the mysql tools for windows and diagnose the connection that way. Also do you have a firewall on port 3306

I've had a Errormessage like this:

i solved the problem with:

Code: Select all

# mysqladmin --no-defaults -u root version
# mysqladmin reload

maybe helpful for others.....

Hi James,

I would like contribute an italian translation for zm4ms, can explain how to do this?

thanks
drakkan

no easy way to be honest as there is no support for other languages. I will languages as people offer. I will get zm4ms ready for multi languge over the next few releases, once ready i will post a request for translations. Then ill add the languages that are made available

Ross has suggested that perhaps the Live Viewer needs it's own forum. I am easy either way on this but have created a Poll if anyone would like to express an opinion on the subject.

ZM4MS sure looks like a nice app. I'm having trouble getting connected to my ZM server though.

I've turned on authentication on the ZM and can log in as admin/admin. The os is a fresh install of Fedora 5 and the firewall has been disabled. My client is WinXP w/ IE which can bring up the ZM page fine as a 'https://192.168.2.3/zm/index.php' link.

When I run the Live Viewer and I log in as admin/admin, I get the 4-screen view and nothing. The first line in the config is filled in with 192.168.2.3 and '1' for the camera number. URL is not checked.

What could I be doing wrong? My ZM install is the latest ver (1.22.2) compiled from source. MySQL access shouldn't matter just to bring up the views, right?

Thank you for your help.

Hmmmm....
I can connect to my ZM-server using a live-CD install of ZM which is running under port 80 (no ssl) and it works!

I also tried using port 443 with the ssl install and no-go.
