Hi
I tried to install ZM on Ubuntu 13.10 server (fresh install of both)

I followed these guides :

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... on_changes

ZM installs but it is the 1.25.0 version
I'm able to setup a monitor for testing purpose but first I have a java exception when going to see that camera window (filenotfound)

It seems there is no link to cgi-bin directory during installation , i solved adding

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

to /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf (a2ensite then apache reload)

Why is this issue after installation ???
Is this the right way to solve the issue ??

Now when I try to access camera window i have another java exception (http error 403) because I have no permission to access /cgi-bin/ directory on the system

Are these known issues ???
How can I solve them ??

I followed carely step-by-step the guides,

Any hint please ???

Thank you

A note adding PPA repository on Ubuntu 13.10 server , before to start ZM installation

After :

apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder

at the end of apt-get update i get:

http ://ppa launchpad net/iconnor/zoneminder/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
http ://ppa launchpad net/iconnor/zoneminder/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

Isn't that repository ready yet for saucy 13.10 ???
Any hint ??

Thanks

Sorry for the self-reply, but no one experienced problems on Ubuntu Server 13.10 ??
Or no one using it yet ??

Thanks

Sorry for the problems. Ubuntu 13.10 has some changes that we've not been able to overcome...yet. I've been able to get cameras to work, capture motion, view stills and export video but not view the stream.
Also, the Launchpad repository does not have the packages for ZM 1.26.4 which will install on Ubuntu 13.10. I have downloaded the packages for Ubuntu 12.04 and installed them on 13.10 with dpkg. It is messy and rather than confuse more folks I've not detailed it into a how to.
For now you are best staying with Ubuntu 12.04 and either the 1.25.0 or 1.26.4 installs. I'll try to keep both of those up to date as things, like Cambozola, change.

Thank you for reply

Good to know this, so, as the 13.10 distro is not really necessary, i'll go with 12.04 until the whole thing will be ok for new distro
I'll let you know

Regards

12.04 Server works like a charm at first shot !
Thanks
