When I change paths video does not play

Post by 3gem »

I have installed ZM using the fedora step by step in the wiki. The install works great.
When I change the path for events, sounds and images it fails to stream the video. I created a dir called cctv and did a chown apache:apache . I stopped and started the service, but no change. If I change it back to the default then it works again.



Thanks in advance.

Rather than change the path in ZM, just link events to your cctv and make sure that apache is setup to FollowSymLinks.

ok here is what I did
I removed the existing folders in /var/www/html/zm
then create new ones like ln -s /pathtodir/events events? ect..
and I have Options FollowSymLinks in my httpd.conf

Still does not work am I missing something?

Do you have the correct permisions set on those folders and links so that apache has access?
