In your options under the Images tab, set ZM_CAN_STREAM to auto.

Cheers,
Corey

ZM_CAN_STREAM is set to AUTO
ZM_STREAM_METHOD is set to JPEG
ZM_OPT_CAMBOZOLA is checked

no changes done

The next logical step would be to tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log and see what apache is reporting. Hopefuly something will turn up there.

Corey

i am tailing it all the time but no error
just the usual output:
[Fri Jun 9 09:45:21 2006] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Fri Jun 9 09:47:27 2006] [notice] Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) Streaming/0.4 PHP/5.0.5 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Fri Jun 9 09:47:27 2006] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem)

just a wild stab in the dark, you can configure ff to report itself as a different browser, you havnt turned this on have you??

If you don't mind, could you PM me with the URL to the console and just set a user for me that is enabled with stream view. All the other setting can be none.

Regards,
Corey

don't mind, u have it on PM

There is some thing off in your config (In zm, apache, or permisions) for zms.
I can pull stills and see your blue shirt

Make sure that in your apache config, that cgi can be executed under the path you have installed. I forgot to check and see if you used the default path so I'm just mentioning it.

Your problem is with zms though as stills are sent just fine.

Corey

I might have to take that back. since you gave me admin rights I set the overide to no. I can view your stream using cambozola in Firefox.

stills are ok

zms is under /var/www/cgi-bin (the default apache cgi-bin dir)
user & group are set at compile time to nobody.nogroup (same as default apache user)

root@cabinet:~# ls -la /var/www/cgi-bin/|grep zms
-rwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup 1180215 2006-06-07 12:11 nph-zms*
-rwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup 1180215 2006-06-07 12:11 zms*

are executables

thanx a lot

i still don't get it why, but it's great that is working now

This is odd and I have never seen this before. I might have to ponder it for a while.
With wget I get a 500 responce but this could be due to auth is on.

i'd be more that happy to help you with all the details to get this bug solved

try to switch auth off, you have admin rights

feel free to 'play' with my box over the weekend if you want
just let me know and i'll leave it turned on

Try it now. I switched from nph-zms to zms (the nph tag at the begining forces apache to not parse the headers), you can see the change I made under the path tab. It is working for me on Firefox 1.0.7 using mjpeg. If this works for you go ahead and remove the user you created.

Corey

well done Corey i knew you would know!
