Ubuntu 6.10 install, followed wiki guide

[Ternitzer]

Hi,

I followed the wiki guide for my install and for the most part, it is working well.

Everything appears to be working except when i try to access a camera on the local machine, i get no video. I have tried http://localhost as well as http://192.168.1.15 (IP address of the machine). Firefox opens fine, zm works, too, but when i click on the camera the window pops up, but I never see a video.


I have tried it with the gnome desktop and the xfce manager. I get the same results.

Strangely enough, when i access the web pages from another computer, everything works ok.

It is not the browser (Firefox) because when I look at another zm machine the browser displays the video then.


Basically my box only works as a headless machine. I have no idea what to look for to troubleshoot. Maybe a permission problem on the local host?

Your advice is appreciated.

First thing that springs to mind: are you sure you're running Apache 2? The behavoir sounds like what I've seen in the past when I failed to purge Apache 1 on a 6.06 machine and it kept starting up by default. I'm not sure if Edgy (6.10) uses Apache 1 any more or not.

I verified that I am using apache 2. Its working when I look from another pc.
