ZoneMinder Forums

Hello,

I've installed zoneminder but when I click on my camera, I have the message in the cambozola area: failed to connect to server (denied?)

I'm using a Foscam FI8918W, and I can access it through a browser. In zm, I set the path to "/videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=" and I disabled any firewall. Any idea of what the problem could be? Linux permissions, network access or maybe something else?

Thanks

OK, ZM can definitly access the camera as I was able to record standstill images. So the cambozola live stream is not working for any reason. I have a doubt about the linux permission, when I list the /usr/share/zoneminder directory, I get the following output:

Does it look correct?

Thanks

I've just realize that cambozola is needed only for IE. I use FF or Chrome, anyway when I click on the monitor, there's no image displayed, nor in Chrome (broken image-link icon is displayed though), neither in FF.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just looking at the logs, I have:

I've looked for the socket_sendto() error with no luck. I've set the permissions of /tmp/zm to world read/write.

Whats in the system log? its typically in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages

Thanks for helping.

The /var/log/messages is showing:

and basically the same for syslog.

For info, I've 1st installed zm from the ubuntu repositoty and it was the version 1.22, so I've installed mannually on top the trunk from svn, which appeared to be the 1.25.
I've also changed the default http port for zm as I have an other virtual host running on the port 80 (that has nothing to do with zm)

And here is the apache log:

OK, I've uninstalled everything and re-installed following the instructions there: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... fmpeg,_etc.)
and it works now.

I guess that I've messed up something in the apache/cgi configuration on my server.
