Not Streaming on monitor

[vmos]

Hi !

recently i installed ZM in an Debian 8 distro amd64 after of some problems setting up the installation with the database i be able of run the service and get to the web UI i have a usb camera

Driver: uvcvideo
Card: FaceCam 1000X

but when i tried to check the monitor i just cant

the logs say

Code: Select all

getStreamCmdResponse stream error: socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-631180s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory - checkStreamForErrors()
socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-631180s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory
'zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally, exit status 255
Captured image dimensions differ: V4L2: 352x288 monitor: 384x288

'zmc -d /dev/video0' starting at 15/11/29 19:07:12, pid = 7262
Starting pending process, zmc -d /dev/video0

looking in many webs some users says that the solution is enable the cgi in Apache something that i already tried with no luck, this is mi zm apache.conf

Code: Select all

Alias /zm /usr/share/zoneminder/www

<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www>
  php_flag register_globals off
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </IfModule>
</Directory>

also i try to add the ScripAlias and not work to

i really will appreciate your help because im head banning with this issue

Check out:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_8.1_ ... e_Easy_Way

Bet you need to:

Click Paths

Change PATH_ZMS from /cgi-bin/nph-zms to /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms Click Save

Optional: under Paths change PATH_SWAP to /dev/shm (puts this process in RAM drive) Click Save

Restart Zoneminder

[vmos]

No luck with that

i going to try purge all and make a new install with the tutorial of the wiki and i will come back with the feedback

Thanks

This is the first thing I would look at it. Looks like zoneminder is telling you what the problem is:

Captured image dimensions differ: V4L2: 352x288 monitor: 384x288

It says the incoming stream has dimensions of 352x288, but you've entered 384x288 into the monitor configuration.
You have get the resolution correct, exactly, in order for the camera to work in zoneminder.

[vmos]

Thanks for the advice!

i change the image dimensions and that error disappear from the logs but still have no image and the same errors is good to see that the camera is now capturing and seems to appear that the unique problem left is the streaming of the video

Code: Select all

ERR  getStreamCmdResponse stream error: socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-714635s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory - checkStreamForErrors()
ERR  socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-714635s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory
INF   Monitor-1: 6000 - Capturing at 30.30 fps

Right now im clean install in a virtual machine with the wiki guide

Hope find the solution to this issue

regards

If your backend is working and you get socket_sendto errors, that almost always means you have an Apache configuration issue, most likely a problem with your ScriptAlias. The ScriptAlias has to agree with what is in PATH_ZMS under options. I can't really get more specific than that because I don't use Debian. bbunge might be able to help further.

Im losing the hope

here is what i got

first i have mi physical installation of zone minder in my server with Debian 8 amd64 also i have a samba and phpvirtualbox service running in the same PC

i installed zone minder following this guide

http://terminal28.com/how-to-install-an ... -8-jessie/

i have some problems with the database setup and starting the service but i solved thats issue, after that when i finally get the web UI works i found that the monitor is no streaming video, so checking the logs i found many issues and begin to read post in many website and trying different solutions until i reduce the error in the logs to just two

i can see that apache is refusing the symbolic link, but i dont know why, the file cgi-bin exist in the mention directory but if i opened with nano i have only a empty file

i feel in a dead end with this, also i try a clean install in a virtual machine using the guide from the wiki and the result is almost the same, the INF messages of the logs are differents but i cant see the video streaming and i get the same errors in the logs

hope someone can help me

This is an Apache configuration problem. You should be looking at the Apache documentation for answers. Just Google the error message and it will take you right to how to fix it. Hint: You are likely missing a "+FollowSymLinks" under your ScriptAlias directive.

[liderbug]

I just solve the same??? problem by copying (zm)/cgi-bin/nph-zms & zms to /var/www/cgi-bin/zm/. I was detecting, recording, could view the event jpg's external to ZM - just no streaming. I found it by editing /etc/php.ini and setting [ display_errors = On ] around line 469. then checking /var/log/httpd/error_log for
script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/cgi-bin/zm
Doing it that way is not correct - but it worked for me.

[vmos]

i activate the display_errrors = On in

Code: Select all

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

and in

Code: Select all

/etc/php5/cli/php.ini

however i no see any logs, in my system i have

Code: Select all

/var/log/apache2/error.log

but i not see any php error also i check in the syslog and there is only the error that i mention before

the path /var/www/cgi-bin/zm/ not exist in my system all the files are in /usr/share/zoneminder/www and in this same directory is the file cgi-bin is a file not a directory, if i open this file with a text editor is empty, so i dont know if this suppose to be empty

the files nph-zms where i cant find it? i just have the one from the source but i dont know is this are ok and i dont know where i should put it

Realy thanks for the help!

Regards

[liderbug]

/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms
/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin/zms
I copied to /var/www/cgi-bin/zm/ (mkdir zm)

Errors will be in /var/log/httpd/error_log (at least on my Fedora system) Deb...???
This may fix your problem, may not.

so still get the problem, i tried to change the owner of the directory /var/run/zm and i get the same error but instead of failed: No such file or directory i got permission denied, so i guest the permissions is ok

in the dir /var/run/zm ther are two files zmdc.sock and zm.pid the first one is empty and the second one have a number i think should be a reference to a process running, i tried to create the file zms-781671w.sock but the error changes to failed: Protocol wrong type for socket - checkStreamForErrors()]

Until you address the error I pointed out in my previous post, you are going to continue to get socket_sendto errors.

i already fix this and i dont have more errors in apache related to symlinks, i dont know what else i cant check in apache or what conf see for solve this, however i tried the android app and this crash when i tried to open the monitor, but i was able to stream with vlc using this

Code: Select all

http://zoneminder-server-ip/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=10&buffer=1000&user=username&password=password

and saving as .asf file and opening with vlc, finally i am able to see the video stream, so the problems as you say before seems to be in apache conf maybe

this is my actual apache.conf file

Code: Select all

Alias /zm /usr/share/zoneminder/www

<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www>
  php_flag register_globals off

i dont know what else i can do

Ok, good. We can move forward then.

Post the output of this:

Code: Select all

ls -lh /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

You also need to check the value of PATH_ZMS under Options.
Based on the ScriptAlias you provided, the value for PATH_ZMS needs to be "/cgi-bin/nph-zms"
