1.21.3

I have zm installed in /var/www/html/zm/ and /var/www/cgi-bin/zm/

If I set my images and events folder to be zm/images/ and zm/events, most things work, and video is recorded and I can watch it. However, when I attempt to look at a single frame, the path it is trying to get the image at looks like .../zm/zm/images...
it is referencing the file differently. If I try to set the paths to images and events without the zm, I can't look at any recorded video at all, and get errors like:

in /var/log/messages.

Inconsistencies in how the paths are used??

Thanks,

Under your paths tab in options you should have set
ZM_DIR_EVENTS zm/events
ZM_DIR_IMAGES zm/images
ZM_PATH_ZMS /cgi-bin/zm/zms

Unless you have some wierd aliases set up this should work.

That is how I have the paths set up. If I try to drill down to an individual frame, the url for the image looks like this:
http://mysite/zm/zm/images/1/165/1000-capture.jpg, which obviously will not work.

Thanks,

If i add a symbolic link like so in the /var/www/html/zm folder:

ln -s ../zm

everything works.

Adam

if i add another drive and mount it as /big if i chnage the path vaules in zm options will my images end up on there instead?

That should be possible, you might have to create the initial folders and set the permisions. I haven't had the need to try that as I'm some what anal about planning things a bit in advance.
You would probably need to create an alias for apache though.
