Stream error

[TiagoMM]

I installed Zoneminder in a clean system and get this error while streaming.

2016-02-26 12:15:19.936009 web_js 1895 ERR getStreamCmdResponse stream error: socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-679870s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory - checkStreamForErrors() ?view=watch

I appreciate your help

Hello!
I have the same situation here.

I saw while opening the pop-up to see the streaming of a USB cam of mine the exact same mistake in the log.

In the folder /var/run/zm , a similar file like TiagoMM (zms-XXXXXs.sock) appears just for few seconds and disappear all in a loop while that pop-up is open (no stream available)

I'm running Mint.
All seems to be fine after installation ( CakePHP, API version etc...)

you need to post detailed logs - before and after the logs you posted.

Just so you get a better picture of how this works:

1. a process called 'zmc' is responsible for communicating with your camera and capturing streams (often called the 'backend' for streaming)

2. a process called 'zms' or 'nph-zms', in conjunction with your web server is responsible for eventually displaying a feed onto your browser (often called the 'front end' for streaming)

So, if you can't see streams:

a) Its possible your backend is crashing (zmc keeps crashing)
b) Its possible there is an apache or ZM misconfigration that is prohibiting those images to show up in your browser.

This is why we need detailed logs - so we know what is going on, and why only posting 3 lines never helps.

Well, here's mine :

Again, 2 lines don't help if you read my post. Please post more logs

Sorry ,
Here's the all thing looping.
I think it's due to permission, but those didn't occur before i reboot...so i'm quiete lost here.
the Cakephp shows everything's fine ... Which configuration file should i check back please?

This is your problem (at least for now). You seem to be using a local camera and it can't be opened due to permissions problems.
I searched on google with "/dev/video1: Permission denied zoneminder" and it got me viewtopic.php?t=23361

[Vss]

Bingo!
It works for me, thanks asker!!

thanks for your help!

Asker, sorry for my poor post. The server that i'm using is at my work. When i get back i will post more information.
Now from my home i can tell you that my problems appears when i click the "monitor" name and the new window pops up. Is there when the log starts to get red.
My cameras are D-link dcs 931L and i'm running zoneminder into ubuntu 14.04 server.

Did you set your cameras up using this?

https://wiki.zoneminder.com/D-Link#DCS- ... F_DCS-934L

[TiagoMM]

Yes I did. I think the cameras are working fine, I can download events in other computers from the server, but when open the monitor window the errors start to appear.
Anyway thanks for your answer!

[TiagoMM]

I've reinstalled all the server again, including Ubuntu to remove doubts about de installing procedure but still appears the same error.
This time I used this procedure:

https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

the first time I used this procedure:

http://zoneminder.readthedocs.org/en/la ... buntu-14-x

if anyone knows what can be happening I will appreciate your help

[bbunge]

I have a ZM server that several users access to keep an eye on things in the building. I've noticed that some folks will log into ZM with Firefox then open the montage. Then they go back to the original Firefox window and move off of the ZM page. And the same socket send to errors start. They really do no harm, as far as I can tell, and I've given up trying to explain to people why they have to leave the original browser window open.

So, if you have followed my install instructions on a clean server build of Ubuntu and you have enough RAM and Your MySQL database is not having issues (install and run mysqltuner) I would ignore the error messages.

[TiagoMM]

bbunge, maybe I expressed wrong. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Argentina.
I'm not saying that your install instructions are wrong, i'm saying that I am making something wrong and I need help for resolving it.
The problem is that I can't have a live stream and my boss is going to hang me up haha.
Maybe my server is not the one for this job. It's an IBM x3200.
