Upload it to Dropbox/Google Drive and then a post a link to it here?

1. 1- ZMNinja fails to Montage. I had to add a new location to the nginx.conf (step 7.2 of your procedure) as follow:
   

   Code: Select all

           location = /cgi-bin/zms {
               include fastcgi_params;
               fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
               $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
               fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap/fcgiwrap.sock;
           }

• 2- API call to /api/monitors/daemonStatus/id:1 is causing a FatalErrorException. The API is used when navigating in the Monitors item in ZMNinja. The error return is:
  

  Code: Select all

  Error: Call to undefined function ctype_digit()	
  File: /usr/local/www/zoneminder/api/lib/Cake/Utility/Set.php	
  Line: 415

  I have yet to correct this issue

• 3- External trigger (zmtrigger.pl enabled via OPT_TRIGGER) is missing perl module Device::SerialPort
  The perl module can be installed by doing

  Code: Select all

  pkg install p5-App-cpanminus
  cpanm install Device::SerialPort

• Should I expect ZM on FreeBSD to work with the /dev/video0 device created by webcamd?
• If not, what should I be using instead of the webcamd daemon?
• Should I expect a USB webcam to work with ZM on FreeBSD? Is that something that is supported?

I disabled local code in default package because it left untested as I don't have any USB cameras. You need to compile ZM from ports with V4L knob on.

Don't like share things from my cloud, but for the love of science: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6clHa ... sp=sharing

Please test.
