Help for NON PORT 80 users ....

[rollbackpc]

Greetings...
ZM is a great program ... I'm a NOOB ... (brain washed by gorrilla M$ ... )
Set up ZM LIVE CD 1.22 ... works great within my LAN ... on PORT 80 ...
( LOVE the way it runs ! )

I'm not having great success in changing PORT 80 to some other port so I can view it remotely! ... Help ...

When I go to ROOT, edit "http.conf" file to "LISTEN 0.0.0.0:8080" (or some other port) ... How do I run ZM when "ROOT"? (ie. When a "USER", one simply opens FIREFOX and their is button for ZM CONSOLE ... )....

once you have modified apache to listen on whatever port you will also need to update any shortcuts to point to that port

that's odd, because I just tried :8100 and I can get to the page, but I can't view the video.
The monitor tab opens with the proper port, but I get no image.
Fresh install of 1.23.3 on debian from apt-get install.
It works fine on 80.

I sound like you might have configured the zoneminder web directory to run on port 8100 but not the cgi-bin directory.

I assume you have an apache site configuration file like:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost>
.
. (other stuff)
.
        <Directory>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride AuthConfig
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

. 
. (other stuff)
.
</VirtualHost>

In between the opening and closing 'VirtualHost' tags, you'll want something like:

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory>
     AllowOverride None
     Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!:)
that information is in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
configuration file, but the top line in that file reads
<VirtualHost *:80>

I changed that to <VirtualHost *:8100>
and forced a reload.

Now I can test from an outside connection.

It can be aggravating because in my area Verizon DSL blocks port 80 so you have to run webservers on something else like 8080.
