Permission denied....

Post by inggenug »

Hello,

after i added a monitor, it doesn't change to green as indicator that shows the correct working. So i tried some fixations. But nothing turn it right. Then I switched the debugger on.
The log file shows the information [Failed to open video device /dev/video3 permission denied].
I tried to fix the problem by changing the rights for me (root) to handle the video hardware. And i placed myself in the www-data group.
But nothing changed.

What must i do?

Thanks,
Michael

Add www-data to the video group:

Code: Select all

gpasswd -a www-data video

Thanks a lot,

now, the monitor indicator changes to yellow. Maybe the streamerpath "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/zms" is wrong.
Or what do think about my new problem?

It's going to be a wrong path, resolution, or color palette.
