softare installs and I can login using webinterface. I add a camera and can not get it to display any images. tried with image.jpg and video.cgi for the camera paths.

camera setup: Monitor, Continuous, Remote-port 80,path: image.jpg. all else default

I'm running kernel 2.6.11, w/debian unstable. I have a dlink dcs-900 web cam. Tried version1.21.3 and 1.21.4 as well as the debian package -no luck. Have read the current debian docuentation with no luck.
used the debian package from deb http://www.spic.net/zoneminder/debian/

I can get stills from the camera using http://IP/image.jpg.
I can get a running stream from the camera using http://IP/video.cgi.

I've looked in the logs and the forums and no solution has worked.

I've also called the ZMS program directly and get no output whatsoever, not even text. Looked in every log available and nothing seems unusual.

It seems something simple is missing/broken. It is soooo close.

You neglect to mention what you used for your host path. whether or not authentication is enabled in the camera.
Other wise everything else looks proper.

host path is a local IP addr. in my 192.168.x.x range.

No authentication used ATM

Are your permissions set right ?

and you havnt put http:// in your path?

My settings for a dcs900
Remote Host Name user:password@192.168.0.xxx
Remote Host Port 80
Remote host Path /vidoe.cgi
Remote Image Colors 24 Bit
Capture Width 640
Capture Height 320

On an DCS900 Capture Width and Height have to correspond with the settings on your camera

P.S. If you plan to buy more cams go for AXIS 206/207 they'll give you less headaches

Don't you mean 640x480? Did you tryed the memory issue that is mentioned in the FAQ?

Yes, the permissions are correct for the we browser as I can get a live stream using http://IP/video.cgi. No I do not use 'http://' in the settings for ZM.

I use 640x480 for the width and height settings, and it is the same as the camera.

I did a wget grab and the stream I do get from the camera looks like this:

--video boundary--
Content-length: 61476
Content-type: image/jpeg
<binary stuff>
--video boundary--
Content-length: 61476

<repeat>

did you compile zm with the pcre-devel?
