Re: VM ZM not loading host's browser localhost/zm/?

I suspect the host -> browser -> http://localhost/ -> output: Apache2 Default Page, may be sourcing from another apache file, not related to the VM ZM Apache file? RewriteBase /zm/api 1) Yes using just "localhost" will get you a default Apache page. Probaby the default "It works!&quo...

Re: Can ZM control PTZ on generic security cameras?

Thanks, install's not so easy though. If I understand correctly, ZM is an OS? That means I can't install it as an app on a desktop and will need to run a VM right? ZM is not an OS -- it runs as an application, with many components, under your existing operating system (e.g. for me, Slackware). It n...

Re: Hikvision PTZ control

It's great when someone tells you to check file permissions without specifying what they should be. ... and this is why it's not particularly useful having people feeding AI/bot generated content into the forum. The post you refer to seems to come from a bot account. Unless they wish to post to con...

Re: Just rebuilt zoneminder and 7 cameras

Ok. this shouldn't be that hard to solve, and we have the code to phpbb. So first step is research others having the problem, and if no solution found, we can at least prevent reusing old posts. And filtering urls out of location. Good to hear that ;) -- I hadn't noticed the spam-in-location on thi...

Re: PC recommendations (Wyze Warning!)

explain it to me like I have to explain it to a president of a maker space which thinks he is tech savvy, but has not clue and wants to use wyze cameras instead of a zoneminder setup Well, for a start, Zoneminder and your own choice of IP cameras will never bite you like a WYZE cloud one will.

Re: Database Connection Problem

Try this syntax instead, maybe it doesn't understand "HTTP" style port specs and is treating all of it as a "host" (which it clearly isn't) :-

Code: Select all

mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 .... 
Note, big P for port, little p for whatever you were doing with that ... ;)

Before spending time on that, you'd probably have better luck with 1.36.xx, currently at 33 and proposed 34. Nice post though. Do not encourage it. It was a recycled post. https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?p=127164&hilit=Ubiquiti+G3+Flex#p127164 with "daft language" filterin...

Looking at your syslog dump, I notice the mentions of "rc rc0" upwards, in context of a much longer path to a "Provideo PV951" PCI bus device. Registered IR keymap rc-pv951 2024-02-16T11:22:13.891735-05:00 vss-new kernel: [ 13.229852] rc rc0: PV951 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:...

Re: First Login

Hi all. I've installed ZM on a LinuxMint 21.3 OS following the installation guide for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy). It appears to have installed OK as it says it's active in the terminal when I check it's status. The user guide then says to open a browser (Brave is my browser) & enter http://hostname-o...

There are a couple of accounts that seem to only post "jovial AI help content". That's one of them ... does that count as "bot content", and is that something that's useful to the forum?
