How to test zms/nph-zms

HI

No matter what I try I am not able to get streaming. I guess the problem is with zms.

How do I test if zms is working correctly.

[root@server cgi-bin]# ./zms

on a Fedora core 3 box.

You can run zms from the command line. You need to set the environment variable QUERY_STRING to the url parameters that are passed in from the web page for your monitor, do a 'view source' and copy every after after the 'zms?' part in the QUERY_STRING env var, for example

Code: Select all

setenv QUERY_STRING=mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=1&auth=etc

Then just run zms, or nph-zms but be warned that the output it (should) produce will have binary characters in it so redirect it to a file and examine it with an editor to check the headers etc. Note also that if you are using authentication that the auth string only has a very limited life time so you maight be better off using '&user=<username>&pass=<password>' rather than 'auth=<key>' or turning off authentication altogether for your test.
