ZoneMinder Forums

This not necessarily a zoneminder problem but when I am viewing events the event will stop and the browser window will have the message about transfering data from etc. Most of the time it will start again after a wait of up to a couple of minutes. Occasionally (like now) it will not recover and I cannot look at other events or even logout. If I try to logout the box appears but does not get populated. I restarted ZM, mysql and apache (after running mysqlcheck) and the system was all right for a 10 minutes but stopped again.

Before I thought it may have been my wireless connection and router but that has not caused any problems with any Internet connection today. I have checked system, zm, mysql and apache logs and cannot see anything wrong. The pc is not busy with 87% idle on the CPU. The versions I run are below. Anybody got any idea where the problem may lie.

Zoneminder 1.23.3
mysql 5
apache 2.2.8

Firefox 3.0.1

kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r8

Firefox 3.0.1

Its not compatible. There's a few threads. Try using seamonkey just for ZM.

FF3 does not close mjpeg streams, so it can fill your system. (each end) Reboot the browser to clear one end. Run 'sudo apache2ctl restart' to clear the other. I am just about to put 'sudo apache2ctl restart' in chron over this crap. I can't believe they released it like that, and STILL haven't patched it.

Thanks for this post and followups. Thought I was loosing my mind. Swore it was network, mysql or something else. I thought I would give "Flock" browser a try but deleted all my events. I dont' have time at the moment to generate sufficient events to evaluate Flock's performance.

Seem the Firefox people were more interested in generating a download "record" and less interested in quality.

thanks for the replies. I don't seem too be getting email alerts. Never mind.

Ok I will try another browser. May go back to opera. Has anyone tried it?

seamonkey works, but it is a bit rubbish

the flock browser works fine
