Post by theone »

ok, got zm running well with min me, (pclinuxos) but have recorded my 7.5 second "warning" (ogg.) file. have found where to put it,,i think, (options,, paths = zm_dir_paths) but not sure of how the link should be written, also states that it should be relative to the web root ??
any help would be appreciated as im a noob with both linux and zm
thanks,,, bas.

Put you sound bit in /var/www/html/zm/sounds and it should be in a format that a browser can play.
