Console permanantly 'Stopped' - no way to view video

Post by mparker »

Here is my beginners question -
I have installed ZM 1.24.4, On a fresh Centos 6 install. After a bit of teeth gnashing, everything appears good. ZM starts, and begins capturing from the USB (Logitech) Webcam. However, the ZM console stubbornly shows 'Stopped' and the status of the monitor never changes to green, as some of the documentation suggests it should. I have completely failed to view any video from the Webcam. When attempting to start the console, the message log receives the following "ERR [Unable to run "/usr/local/bin/zmfix", output is "". The only other error I can find is a PHP warning, "It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone" which should have been fixed by an edit I made to PHP.ini, but apparently is not. Debug logging (Level 2) shows only LOTS of Pre/Post capturing messages.
What have I missed / failed to understand?

Hi all - solved my problem!
A default Centos 6 install enables SELinux. With SELinux configured for 'Permissive' everything worked like a champ!
When I get a moment, I'll figure out what I need to do to turn it back on, until then, I have a fresh zm install to learn!

This is the correct fix.

The SELinux policy stops the console from running.
