I'm at a standstill again. I've got a Picolo Pro 2 card and using zmu I came up with the following information.

I get the following from dmesg:
[root@rimmer ~]# dmesg
Linux version 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 (bhcompile@porky.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22)) #1 Tue May 17 20:27:37 EDT 2005
Since the card type is listed as 0 does that mean the system doesn't know how to deal with it.
How do I go about changing the card type? I've played with the modprobe command with no success.
Just to confuse things a little more, TvTime works on video channel 4. The ports are labeled Vid1 thru Vid4 and when I have my camera hooked up to Vid4 the image comes in just fine. That port is listed as Television, Vid3 is listed as Composite 1, Vid2 is listed as S-Video and Vid1 is listed as Composite 3. None of that makes sense to me.
This issue seems to be the last problem I've got. (I hope!)
Thanks for any help!
Brad
unknown card type=0 ??
Try using card=97 for modprobe.conf
I was able to find this
http://www.linuxhq.com/ldp/howto/BTTV/cards.html
http://xawdecode.sourceforge.net/aideUS ... ardall.htm
Other wise I'll need to get somemore information from you to make a patch for your kernel.

Hi Cordell, thanks for the response.
This is what my modprobe.conf looks like now:

It looks like the system now knows about the picolo card but the results are still the same with regards to ZM. All I get is a blank monitor box where the image should be. tvtime still works fine on vid4 which to me still makes no sense. Oh well, off to work so I can pay for all this maddness!
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

additional info
Hmmm, been doing a little more digging and since I did he modprobe statement in modprobe.conf I seem to have lost a channel. Also the capture board type returned by zmu is type 171 which makes no sense to me.

The camera i have install is a Sanyo hi-resolution color ccd model VDC 2974. I can't think of any reason this camera wouldn't be compatable.
Just noticed this in the apache error log. If I remember correctly LDAP is required. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong to get this error?

Well I think I got rid of the php-ldap error. I uninstalled the package and then used package manager to reinstall it. Now I see the error listed below in the appache httpd error log.

There are no files in the /var/www/cgi-bin directory. Looking at the above error it appears that zone minder is looking for zms to be in that directory. Did something fail on my rpm install?
So, am I getting any closer?!!!

Try moving the
options bttv card=
to after the alias char-major-81 bttv
I'm not sure that It makes a differance but I have never seen anyone put it before.
As for the scripts in cgi-bin, If you are running the FC3 RPM the files are located diferantly than normal. All static files are moved to /usr/lib/zm. The images are at /var/lib/zm with symlinks to the static files, And in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zm.conf the alias is made for zm and cgi-bin/zm. And of course the logs are at /var/log/zm

So swapping the options statement didn't help. It sure looks to me like zms or its location is my biggest problem at the moment. I think I'll start working the apache issue for now.
tvtime still works so the alias option statement didn't seem to affect that part.
Thanks for any and all help.

fixed ?!!
Cordel,
I took your advice and checked the path statement for zms. Mine was listed as /cgi-bin/zms and thats it. For some reason the /zm/ was missing. I changed it to cgi-bin/zm/zms and I didn't notice any change. I then put put the zms file in the /usr/lib/zm/cgi-bin/ directory and video0 channel 0 started working. Monitor mode works as does record mode.
Now, if I remove zms from the /usr/lib/zm/cgi-bin/ directory (its still in the /usr/lib/zm/bin/ directory) the monitor screen becomes blank again. No matter what, in order to make it work I have to have zms in the /usr/lib/zm/cgi-bin/ directory and the path configured as /cgi-bin/zm/zms.
I'm not really sure what that means or if its supposed to be configured that way.
As I mentioned above channel 0 does work now but I get nothing but a blue screen on channels 1, 2 and 3. A previous poster on this forum complained of the same problem with the Picolo Pro 2 card so maybe I've now ran into a brick wall.
Any suggestions as to what to do about getting the other channels to work?
Thanks for all your help in getting me this far!

Are you using one of my RPM's? If so please let me know what version, err let us know the version either way so we might be able to track down what the malfunction is.
Oskin's and my RPM (well last time I checked) are pretty much the same ( I think he added some more of his own features, while for the most part I stick with what Phil has going). The install paths should be:
prefix= /usr/lib/zm
all zm binaries = prefix/bin
all web pages = prefix/html
web scripts (zms, nph-zms) = prefix/cgi-bin
There is a config file for apache installed /etc/httpd/conf.d/zm.conf which setup the alias's for http://<address>/zm and http://<address>/zm/cgi-bin/
All captured images and such should be going to /var/lib/zm/
Hope this help to make since of it all. Please let me know what is not following this if it's one of my RPM's so I can look into it.
Regards,
Cordel

Cordel,
Below is the contents of my /etc/httpd/conf.d/zm.conf file.
Alias /zm "/usr/lib/zm/html/"
<Directory "/usr/lib/zm/html">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/zm/ "/usr/lib/zm/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/lib/zm/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I'm running Zone Minder zm-1.21.2-1.FC3.CTU.i386.rpm. However I don't remember where I downloaded it from. It seems to me there was only one site that had 1.21.2 available at the time.
I'm a little confused by the "prefix" mentioned below. I do have a /usr/lib/zm directory with a bin directory under that along with the html and cgi-bin directory. Its in the cgi-bin directory that I had to put zms in (there was a file called nph-zms but I removed it, guess I should put it back).

Prefix is just the base of the install or the root of the install.
prefix= /usr/lib/zm
all zm binaries = prefix/bin = /usr/lib/zm/bin
all web pages = prefix/html = /usr/lib/zm/html
web scripts (zms, nph-zms) = prefix/cgi-bin = /usr/lib/zm/cgi-bin
You might also consider upgrading your install to zm-1.21.2-2 as I have released a new version with a few bug fixes that is on my website or if you configured yum you can do a yum upgrade
prefix= /usr/lib/zm
all zm binaries = prefix/bin = /usr/lib/zm/bin
