Zoneminder Not Capturing Events

For some reason I cannot get Zoneminder to capture events. I have tried setting the function to either record or mocord but events still do not show up in the list. What else do I have to do to enable events?

Some logs or more details will help to help...

What other details do you need? I can tell you I'm using a pair of PV-143 cards. Where are the log files you want me to post?

/var/log/syslog or enable the log option and attach a screenshot.

Here is my /var/log/syslog. I couldn't find the option to enable logging in Zoneminder.

Hi,

Seems a permission problem:

Code: Select all

FAT [Can't symlink '1' to 'Monitor-1': Permission denied]
Try:

Code: Select all

chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/zoneminder
(change the path to your path)

Hope it helps,

PacoLM

That seemed to do the trick. I ran `chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/images/` then `chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/events/` and events seem to be sucessfully listing. Thanks!
