ZoneMinder Forums

Dear all

I just install zoneminder with "Debian 6".

All is ok... I followed a tutorial "step by step" , however one only detail is now pending.
... I can not see image in a "zones setup" over area to define motion detec.

Note 1: I have a IP Camara Panasonic BL-C10, and I can see image when I select link "Monitor-1" in Name-list.
Nota 2: As I read it could be a permissions path issue, but I do not know how to solve it

Do you have some idea how solved my problem?

Thanks in advanced,
Ricardo

I had the same trouble - after going through the logs I found that for some reason zm was looking in /var/cache/zoneminder/images instead of the images directory I'd specified in options.

Fixed by running:

rmdir /usr/share/zoneminder/images
ln -s <path to your actual images dir> /usr/share/zoneminder/images

Thanks BobMuk

I tested your fix.., but ZM don't work yet!
My path, for image directory is: /home/camaras/imagenes... Therefore, your solution is as below:

rmdir /usr/share/zoneminder/images
ln -s /home/camaras/imagenes /usr/share/zoneminder/images

... in adicional, I tried with next variant, without luck.

rmdir /var/cache/zoneminder/images
ln -s /home/camaras/imagenes /var/cache/zoneminder/images

In the last case, I'm assuming for that ZM, is looking for in /var/cache/zoneminder/images, then I'm giving a shortcut to "personal images folder" in this path...

Do you have another option?

Ricardo
