Hi,

I added a separate HDD for the images and events recording per the guide on the wiki "using a dedicated HDD" and now I"m getting this error:

Code: Select all

2013-10-24 21:24:54.443387	web_php	14276	ERR	socket_sendto( /tmp/zm/zms-679963s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory	/usr/share/zoneminder/includes/functions.php	2322

2013-10-24 21:24:51.070643	zms	22044	ERR	Can't open /usr/share/zoneminder//home/john/newdrive/events/1/13/10/24/20/30/00/001-capture.jpg: No such file or directory	zm_event.cpp	1225

It does appear to be recording fine in my new directories. It's just when I click on an event to review the image doesn't pop up and I get these errors.

Thanks for any help!

Does the directory "/usr/share/zoneminder//home/john/newdrive/events" exist? (Ignore the double slash when checking ...)

It looks bogus, like you've managed to join "/usr/share/zoneminder/" and "/home/john/newdrive/events" ...

Carefully review any changes you made to paths and prefixes, just in case you've over-egged the pudding, so to speak, in telling ZoneMinder where stuff is.

You may wish to post the details of where you think the various bits *should* be on your system (old location, new location), especially the events dir.

I don't have a /usr/share/zoneminder, (/home/zonemind/events in my case)
