ZoneMinder Forums

Up until a few days ago, everything was perfectly fine. But now, when I click on any cam, I cannot view the streaming jpeg images. When the windows opens to view the camera, I get a quick flash of the 640x480 boundary of where the picture would be, then it disappears. I'm using Firefox 3.6 and ZM 1.24.2.

I tried downloading the latest version of Cambozola and overwriting my original into /var/www/html/zm directory, but same problem. I have since went back to the original jar file.

Which log files would be helpful to troubleshoot this? I'll post some screen caps shortly.

next time try with "ls -l" instead of only "ls"...

I don't know, but you lack of mootools...

I downloaded mootools (http://mootools.net/core - selected all components), renamed it to mootools.js and copied it to /var/www/html/zm/.

Do I need to do anything in the /var/www/html/zm/tools/mootools/ ?

I rebooted the machine and no difference. Still have the same problem of cameras not showing up. Again, it's still recording, just can't view the jpeg stream.

Size in cabozola does not match mine...

-rwxrwxr-x 1 apache apache 56667 2010-03-06 00:25 cambozola.jar

try downloading it again from http://www.charliemouse.com:8080/code/c ... est.tar.gz

Untar the file and Copy it from dist folder to your ZM root...

same result....quick flash of the boundries and then nothing.

Change it to apache:apache

chown'd apache:apache cambozola.jar and mootools.js

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 56667 Mar 25 11:12 cambozola.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 141417 Mar 25 08:04 mootools.js

Same problem.

any other logs that might be helpful? this was essentially a trace of me logging into the system and clicking on Cam 1. The picture boundries load and then disappear.

This happens exactly when the stream fails to display.

Here's my system config...

I have that warning too but streams work fine.
I believe this is your error: zms fails to authenicate you for some reason. Please make sure you dont have any weird characters such as spaces in your username and password.
