I just created a fresh installion of zm 1.19.5 on slackware 10/kernel 2.4.9. Everything went fairly smoothly except for some reason now I can't get any images without using cambozola (it works fine).
I have long used Mozilla/Firefox to watch events and live streaming jpegs. However, now I just get the dreaded icon. I've looked in all the usual zoneminder log files, and there's not a single error in any of them. Apache error logs are clean as well. The only error that looks suspect is mysqld.log:
Aborted connection xx to db: 'zm' user: 'zmadmin' host: localhost; (Got an error reading communication packets)
I tried to look up this type of error on google etc, but was unsuccessful.
I obviously know all seems to be somewhat working because I can view everything in cambozola. I would like to go back to using Mozilla. The strange thing is when I use Mozilla, I don't see any ZMS processes start up which I'm sure is why I get the dreaded icon.
Anyone have any idea why this happens and where to start looking?
Edit: Further analysis shows that the page is correct. When I right-click/Image Properties, it shows http://<servername>/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=15. However, when I look at the process list of the server, there is NO nph-zms process running.
Resolution: I change this from nph-zms to zms and it all works again!
NOTE: For anyone else trying to install on Slackware, the only file edit require now in 1.19.15 is:
LINE 142:
$command = “su “.ZM_WEB_USER.” --shell=/bin/sh --command=’$command’”;
To
$command = “su “.ZM_WEB_USER.” –c ’$command’”;
