Alternate Folder Location under Linux (Ubuntu)
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 4:45 pm
I'm setting up Zoneminder for the first time.
My boot disk is only 240gb.
I have a second drive that is 1.5TB where I would like ZM to store its data.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting ZM to work. Specifically I'm getting errors relating to "Cannot open zone5.jpg" Before this I was getting permission denied, but after reinstalling ZM that error is no longer present in the log.
This drive is already mounted as /mnt/tb in fstab as follows:
I created a folder under /mnt/tb as /mnt/tb/zoneminder
I then added the following to fstab:
Following this step I did a chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/tb/zoneminder
Then I did a chmod to: chmod 777 -R /mnt/tb/zoneminder
I've read the step-by-step on using a dedicated drive (this is not a 'Dedicated Drive' I have other things I need to store on it) and that guide doesn't seem to explain what to do when you already have a mount point but just want to move the folder to a different mount point.
Am I missing something here? Any advice on how to get this to work?
