Problem configuring motion detection areas - zones

[coinbird]

Hello zoneminder community,

after two days of extended troubleshooting the capture car I am up and running with ZM

The bottom line is: I can't configure any zones
I can't click on the preview image on the right to draw a zone like in the tutorial "How to setup motion detection" in the wiki.

I've googled for this issue all over the forum and wiki but to no avail so decided to post here.

system:
Ubuntu 11.04
Zoneminder 1.24.2

1 camera
1 TV card 878A based

I've made two screen shoots and attached them to the post, if you need and other info let me know and I will post it.
Image preview is blank because it was dark outside when I took the it.

Please help.
Thank you!

Refer to http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 21&t=17586 for the solution. Zones can now be configured.

Check your apache error log after bringing up the zone config window and it will give you a clue more specifically as to what is wrong.
I'd guess that either you have the images folder improperly configured in options, or a permissions problem with that folder.

Here what I found on how to fix the no-image issue.

You have to change the image folder ownership.

chown www-data.www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/images/

That should fixed it.

Thanks for your reply,

And you have right :

Code: Select all

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/zm/images

and

Code: Select all

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/zm/events

solve my problem.

Again Thanks
