Hi there,

After a bit of mucking about I have one camera input working. When events are triggered, it is listed in the events area on the webinterface, but when I go to view it, there isn't any event pictures, all I get it broken picture links and in my message log, I get errors saying it can't find the picture file in question.

Any ideas?

I've also checked the

/var/www/html/zm/events directory and its empty.

Hi Andrew,

I suspect this is a permissions issue. If you do

ls -l /var/www/html/zm/events

what does it say? It needs to be writable (and executable) by your web server user.

Cheers,

Phil,

I did a chmod 777 on it a while ago, to see if it would fix it.

Hi Andrew,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Did you ever find out what the problem was? Were there any suspicious messages in any of the log files in /var/log?

Cheers,

Phil,

Hi Phil,

Yes all is fixed now. I had some missing perl modules, which I found out......

Thanks for all your great help, you have been wonderful!!
