I have searched the site and found several answers to the problem where when using ZM 1.24.4 with Ubuntu 11.04, there is only one motion detection zone. Found the solutions, but because I am very lacking in linux, I can't seem to make the changes.

I found the file that requires changing "functions.php" , made the suggested changes, but when I go to save it, it says I do not have the permissions to make such changes - however, I'm logged in as the root user.

Any help would really be appreciated!

Also, had issues with detection of bttv card monitors and found the answer on this site which was : sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0, then changed settings on camera and it worked!

still no answers on the SUBJECT of motion detection zones broken.

Also, the sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0 worked temprarily. If I restart computer, monitors are broken again until I run the sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0 again

Any help on this would be greatlty appreciated.

Funny. Some things never change. After several days of reading numerous threads, found the answer, and was actually assisted by s a couple through PM.
