How to get rid the recorded data from hd?

AL · Post by AL » Fri Apr 20, 2007 8:10 am

I had installed ZoneMinder 1.22.2 to server. And I use client machine to do the testing. I left the system run the recording for few days. But now my server is hanging there and totally can't open the system. When I try to open the system from server web browser, a message "[b]Cannot connect to Server[/b]" is shown at the screen. This happened because the my server hard disk had been fully occupied by the recorded data already. I tried to find the solutions but I fail to solve it.

Where to find the recorded data folder so that I can get rid all the recorded data? Please provide help. Need it urgently.

Thanks!
AL

The events are located in the events folder in your web root with subfolders for each monitor (don't delete the monitor folders, just the events under them).
You will also need to repair your database so see the Wiki FAQ.
If need be, you can send me a PM with ssh access if it's available (setup before the system locked up) and I can help you out with it.

PLEASE don't double post or Bump. It's considered rude and there is no need for it here on this forum. I am deleteing your other post.

** Just want to clarify that I don't mean want to be ruded with sending the same mesage twice. Its because I not sure where should clarify my enquiry. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Depends on the Distro you installed it on what ever path you defined to install your web pages. Usualy on RedHat based Distros is /var/www/html/

I cant find the particular folder. I have 3 subfolder under "var", that are cache, lib and run folder. FYI, my machine is installed with CentOS.

Assuming that you have left everything default, it should be something like I posted before /var/www/html/zm/events/<monitor_IDs_and_Links/

If you changed it, then only you would have a clue as to where you put them. So what did you use on zm configure script?

Does the Configure Script is under "Scripts" folder? I notice that it has many files under that folder. Which script file should I show to you? Please tell me the file name. Thanks!

Okay tell me from the begining how you installed ZM.

The other option is you can PM me root ssh and web access (forward ports 80:tcp and 22:tcp to the zm machine) and I can have it running for you in around 40 minutes tops.

AL,
I deleted your post, as that infomation you don't want public, hence why I said to PM me the info if it's what you want me to do. But you also didn't provide me any ssh login info which leaves me unable to be able to help as that what I need to do any repairs. The web access I just use to confirm that everything is working afterwards.
