Hi All,

I'm happily running Zoneminder but I'd like to be able to create some zones to block off certain areas for motion detection.

If I click on a zone, the zone window opens with all the options, but the image of the zone is not displayed

(screenshot is attached).

: Screenshot example; screenshot.JPG (50.1 KiB) Viewed 1078 times

The error in the log is :

"2013-05-11 16:09:31.202265 zmu 2187 ERR Can't open Zones5.jpg: Permission denied zm_image.cpp"

Any clues on what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Ellis

I fixed it myself

I'm a complete Linux noob, but I could see that:

/var/cache/zoneminder/images

Was owned by root, I changed the owner to www-data (to match the /var/cache/zoneminder/events folder), and all is good.

Not sure why the installer didn't do this, but all's well that ends well.

Thanks,

Ellis
