ZoneMinder Forums

I already have apache among other things running on a single server at home, my router is alread configure to point port 80 to this machine it is quite low powered but works well.

Because of the nature of Zone Minder I would like it on a more powerfull seperate machine.

The question is does zone minder have to be installed on the machine with apache or can it be seperate?

Can I link apache to the zoneminder server?

I've searched for apache in the forum with no luck I've also looked through the instruction manual.

This looks like a realy neat bit of software interface is great with no fancy crap you don't need.

Keep up the good work can't wait to get mine working.

Should be possible - if you can mount the zoneminder web directory and cgi-bin directories onto your apache machine using nfs/samba/whatever - then as far as Apache is concerned it's reading them off a local filesystem.

But! Not sure it's worth the bother as it introduces a further complication in what you really want to be a robust and reliable system. Be annoying if the thing you wanted to record was missed because the remote directory mounting failed.

Apache isn't that hungry so why not install it on the zm server as well? If the port is the only issue, configure zm's Apache to use port 81 or whatever and tell your router to direct port 81 traffic to the zm server. It could be any port, but 81 is the most commonly used when a situation like this occurs. Address to the would would be:

http://your.ip.or.domain:81/zm/

The only problem I see is zms would need to be placed on the apache machine and you would have no live view, just events.

Thanks for the respnonse I think I will use the port 81 option that is as good as any

Cheers Dan

Where do you change ZM's Apache port?
