permissions problems?

[mikebarnhart]

Running ZM 1.25.0 on ubuntu 12.04 32bit server on vmware 5 enterprise. Axis 206/207/210/211 IP network cameras
I'm a little bit newer with linux but i think i have a permissions issue getting my cameras online:
(I cant find any of the other zm*.log files on my server that others have referenced in the forums)
its problably something simple but i'm frustrated now ... any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Mike
