I have upgraded a box from 1.21.3 to 1.22.0 and had a power failure during the rpm upgrade process. As such half the db's were altered and half werent. Anyway i finally got it up and run and all seems great apart from i cant see an image in the zone setup. In the log i have

Mar 8 11:16:22 localhost zmu[3614]: ERR [Can't open Cam_1-Zones.jpg: Permission denied]

So im assuming i have a permission problem. But i dont know how or where to change this. Any ideas?

This is either that you don't have permissions on the images directory below /var/www/html (or equivalent) or that you have created that file as root and nowe apache is refusing to overwrite it.

cheers Phil.
Whats the easist way to change this can i use my friend webmin

You probably can use webmin but I would suggest using ssh and doing subtituing the appropriate web user and path etc. This is normally done during install so I don't know if that means that other things were not completed. I would check the other directories under your zm dir and apply the same operation.

i have checked an apache owns everything in the zm folder

Then does the Cam jpeg image already exist and if so who owns that? Also are the directories writable?

hold fire i just realised im checkin the wrong box lol hang on

Im such a d1ckhead most of the time!!!!

right once i checkeed the right box it was indeed the images folder was owned by root!

Thanks all sorted
