EDIT as SOLVED: forgot to restart zoneminder. On my system, this is:
/etc/init.d/zoneminder restart
Hello group.
I am pleased to say that the documentation on the wiki to install zoneminder worked great. I have it up and running on Ubuntu 8.04 server 64-bit (kernel 2.6.24-21-server). Installed zoneminder (v1.22.3), php, mysql, apache, and ffmeg from the repositories.
Tested events and everything was going great until I tried to move the recording of events to a second hard drive (type=EXT3). The mount point is /VMvideo.
Following the guidance from this post http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... +partition , I did the following and working at root in the /usr/share/zoneminder directory
$mkdir /VMvideo/events
$unlink events
$ln -s /VMvideo/events events
$chown www-data:www-data /VMvideo/events
www-data is the group:owner as in the original symlinked directory at /var/cache/zoneminder/events
And the permissions are set the same in /VMvideo/events AND /var/cache/zoneminder/events
When I created an event, no event was saved to /VMvideo/events. Nor can I preview an event. All I get is the image icon. It appears no recording took place. I changed the symlink back to events-->/var/cache/zoneminder/events. Created an new event and no recording. I can't preview it either, get the image icon.
I also saw a thread discussing Apache configuration. This is where I thought it would be best and stop before I created a really big mess.
Please help me establish a link to record events at /VMvideo. I am trying to learn the proper way to post error logs. But am confused where to find them all.
Thanks,
Andrew.
