It looks like apache isn't configured properly. You should have somewhere in your apache config files lines like the following: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "Path-To-Your-cgi-bin" <Directory> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

stimburg, I'm running out of ideas. Disable OPT_USE_AUTH in options->system and restart zm. Then try these URLs and let me know what errors you get in the apache and zm log files and what you see http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=8 http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/zms?mode=jpeg&...

I am only guessing because I'm not that familiar with the code but... It looks to be failing in the LocalCamera::PrimeCapture function and it appears that one of things it sets in this is the format. Try changing the device format. If its currently set to PAL try NTSC and vice versa. If it still do...

a lot of my capture / analysis restarts went away after lowering the capture framerate it seems ZM does NOT like late frames and the whole timing "goes crazy" "late frames" in my case happened mostly at night when my IPcams are very slow (less than half the framerate compared to...

interestingly i saw the increase in allocated memory right after the buffer size increase with "ipcs -m" (going bigger than ever before) of course that change did force zmc to restart, and that's when it starts useing the memory do a "watch ipcs -l" and see how it changes! EDIT ...

The problem might be with your filesystem. From the look of it you will have event directories with 86,000+ files in them. When your filter is deleting files from these directories the system will be getting hammered. You might be able to improve the performance by either tuning the file system or c...

Every camera will have a zmc process. This process stores the frames in a shared memory buffer for other processes to use. This can be the analysis daemon (zma), the streaming server (zms) or the frames daemon (zmf). Because there are multiple daemons using the frames captured by zmc all of the capt...

You view live output by selecting the camera under the name column on the webpage. Once you are properly viewing the camera you can record by forcing an alarm As for the yellow colour it could be one of 2 things: 1. When you view the output under "zones" you only see a single captured imag...

Go to your zonemonder webpage and select "options". About the 3rd tab in is "paths" and one of these settings should be for "PATH_LOGS". Check that the directory pointed to by this option exists and look for the zoneminder logs in there.

Re: Missing feature

If you had a second camera you would have the montage/cycle features. It's pointless providing a montage/cycle of 1 camera. You only get the "logged in as" if you have had to login. Select "options" and under the "system" tab check the "OPT_USE_AUTH" option. R...

Again, never stopping ZM, I tried to again set the buffers to 60, and zmc started, no shmget error. I even successfully set the buffers to 400 on one camera as a test and it worked. This leads me to believe that it just may be a memory fragmentation issue. This is all down to how the OS allocates a...

Live picture delay and cotrolling a PTZ

Ever since I upgraded to 1.24 I have been experiencing a live picture delay which makes it difficult controlling a PTZ. I've been experimenting with various parameters to see what will impact the delay time and found that the only parameter that affects the delay is the "max fps" setting. ...

It could be the ZM_FROM_EMAIL setting. Try setting this to a full email address like zm@example.com
If that doesn't work then you need to look at your mail servers logs to see if there are any error messages there.
