I tried to repair the problem, but w/o sucess.
I followed this 2 topics:
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... rt+problem
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... rt+problem

There are the base errors:

Warning: opendir(events/cam_name/event_id) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /usr/share/zoneminder/zm_export_funcs.php on line 198

Warning: fopen(events/cam_name/event_id/zmEventDetail.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/zoneminder/zm_export_funcs.php on line 215

Can't open event detail export file 'zmEventDetail.html'

I can see the images normally and the saved events.

Thanks in advance

Sorry any english errors...

Seems like the camera or event folder is missing.
Can you check if there is such folder like var/www/zm/events/'cam_nr'/'event_nr' (standard path)

If was a cam or folder missing, I wouldn't see the images from them, but I can see. I just can't export them.

Thanks for reply!

Images are kept in /var/..../zm/events/<cam_id>
Export uses a soft link named as your Monitorname and points to Cam_ID sothat your Exported folder has a name instead of a number, make sure the softlink is there.
Both the links and cam_id folders are in the events directory.

I created the links. Now I can export. Thanks, Cordel!

The fix I use on Peter's debs is;
sudo chown www-data.www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/temp

I have the same issue,I have installed using Peter's debs, I have used the above fix

sudo chown www-data.www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/temp

, but I am still getting the first posters error, can anyone explain how I softlink the files ? Or where I go from here?
Many thanks
Update 08/10/07 12.22pm : Got it sorted using 'Make Link' and pointing it to the name of the monitor.

the syntax is incorrect, here is the good one (with ":" instead of ".")

Code: Select all

sudo chown www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/temp

it worked well for my export problem on Ubuntu 7.04
