I can not get my video to come up i remember in the past I had to mess with my shared memory values and i took detailed notes on what i did....i am doing the same exact thing and getting no luck

i did the following and no luck out of box this simply will not work and i remembered when i had my cameras setup before the below is all i did to get em working i have validated the cameras are working as i can browse to their web address on port 80 just cant get them to communicate in zoneminder

root@adub-laptop:/etc/apache2# cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
2097152
root@adub-laptop:/etc/apache2# cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
33554432
root@adub-laptop:/etc/apache2# nano /etc/sysctl.conf
root@adub-laptop:/etc/apache2# nano /etc/sysctl.conf
root@adub-laptop:/etc/apache2# sysctl -p
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 33554432
root@adub-laptop:/etc/apache2# zmpkg.pl
Usage: zmpkg.pl <start>
root@adub-laptop:/etc/apache2# zmpkg.pl restart


edit the /etc/sysctl.conf with the appropriate values


change

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 33554432


to


kernel.shmall = 12097152
kernel.shmmax = 133554432

maybe the below information will help i also went into the options and network setting to enable the option to allow networking cameras i remember i had to do this before and restarted zoneminder....im lost to wits end it is telling me below tha the shared memory is not valid
