Ok, I think I've got this figured out. I'm still a novis using Linux so some of the questions I ask probably don't make a lot of sense to the experts :) On most other distros of Linux that I have used there are graphical based utilities that let you change the video resolution to suit the type of mo...

Curtis, thanks for the reply. The problem is a root shell won't do me any good. I'm trying to use the system configuration tool to change my monitor/screen resolution. I seem to be stuck at about 640x480 or so and would like to make better use of my 1680 x 1050 monitor. The system configurator requi...

I playing around with ZMLArch on my computer (booting from CD) and am trying to change the computer screen resolution. I have a wide monitor that is 1680 x 1050. Not being familiar with this version of Linux (actually not that familiar with any version of Linux!) I'm not sure what program to run to ...

I am planning to put user login/logout events into ZM, maybe even by the next release (though often people don't logout per se, they just close a browser). However I think logging everything someone does might be a bit overkill, however I will have a think about it. Phil Phil, did you ever get anyw...

OK first "cd /var/www/html/zm" Then "sudo rm -rf events" Then suppose the partition you want to use is mounted at /mnt/hda7 Do "sudo chown apache.apache /mnt/hda7" And finally "sudo ln -s /mnt/hda7 events" The df command gives me the following information: /d...

BKahler now that I've had time to read this whole thread properly I have a couple suggestions. If you just want a large partition for event storage you can choose a large partition for /var when installing. This is my standard practice. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I don't have time right no...

Try "sudo chown apache.apache /var/www/html/zm/images " I know I had ownership if this dir wrong earlier. I think upgrade with a newer zm RPM will also fix this problem. I gave it a try and it didn't seem to help. Can you point me towards an upgrade link that I can download? By the way, I...

Good that one am am familure with :D And I'm suprized that it's not working as Ross puts together the best livecd. Images for zones are stored in the Images directory, check and make sure that there are current files there, it should update the images each time you open a zone edit page. This sound...

I've installed and built the ZMLiveCD created by bbushong. [Thu Feb 07 18:35:28 2008] [warn] [client 192.168.1.100] Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /var/www/cgi-bin/nph-zms Check your path for ZMS, it should be relative to the web root and not the system root other wise apache will not b...

I'm not sure what this is telling me as yet but when I click on the "Zones" link on the Monitor page I get the Camera4 zones page with a broken link to the image. The link for the missing image is http://192.168.1.50/zm/zm-images/Camera4-Zones.jpg?1202431814. Again, the symlink does not se...

I've attached part of the contents of my httpd error_log file. I think the last entry is the most telling one. Apache seems to be pointing towards the /var/www/html.../zm-images directory which does not exist. the /zm-images is the name of my symlink. so the question I have is why isn't apache recog...

Ok, I'll try that tomorrow after work. I need to get some sleep!

Thanks!

You also have to configure apache correctly. Setting the directive FollowSymlinks usualy works or else you can define the directories. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#directory Cordel, below is what I found in my httpd.conf file. It appears that the FollowSymLinks is enabled. Am I mi...

I've installed and built the ZMLiveCD created by bbushong. Everything is pretty much working just fine. There are a couple of issues that I'm working on one of which is trying to get the events and images stored on a different partition on the same drive. I have created directories called /usr/zm-ev...

I'll have her check her security settings and see if that will help.

Thanks,

Brad
