ZoneMinder Forums

hello.

i am french and i'm new on this forum. I need To you

I installed zoneminder and apache on a raspberry and wanting to change the storage location I can no longer connect to web interface and this one tells me "Can not write to content dirs ('events ',' Images'). Check that these are available by the web account user "

To know that I want to put the storage on my hard drive

This is how I got myself

zoneminder is
sudo mv /var/cache/zoneminder /var/cache/zoneminderOLD
sudo mkdir media/zoneminder/hdd/zonemider
sudo cp -R -p -v /var/cache/zoneminderOLD/* /media/zoneminder/hdd/zonemider
sudo ln -s /media/zoneminder/hdd/zonemider /var/cache/zoneminder
sudo chown www-data:root -R /media/zoneminder/hdd/zoneminder/
sudo chmod 770 -R /media/zoneminder/hdd/zoneminder/
sudo service zoneminder restart

on firefox http://192.168.43.250/zm
I see always this message Can not write to content dirs ('events ',' Images'). Check that these are available by the web account user

What distro and version of Linux are you using on your pi?

I using linux ubuntu mate 16.04

I recommend you start over with a Ubuntu 16.04 server or minimal version as running a desktop on a pi uses a lot of resources.
