They seemed to be permissions based errors from memory, I will have a look this evening and see if I can gather any more. Yes, restarted Apache2 and even restarted the machine. The config changes were being recognised as I got an error, I just never managed to get past that error :) For now, having ...

Thanks knnniggett for spending the time to explain this.
The VM is purely for ZM, and this is only in a home environment and so not critical.
I will have a bit more a play now and will let you know how I get on.
Thanks again,

Ok, so after a lot of playing around I couldn't seem to change the root, I kept running into permission errors. So instead I just copied all the ZoneMinder web files to the default root directory with:

sudo su
command cp -r /usr/share/zoneminder/* /var/www

and that seems to work.

Hi, I recently installed ZoneMinder on a Hyper-V (again) and all is good: http://dave.harris.uno/installing-zoneminder-on-ubuntu-in-hyper-v/ However, I would like to change the setup to remove the /zm in the URL and previously I have managed to change the root directory in Apache2 to accomplish this...

If I VPN in from work, i probably get about a 3-4 second delay, depending on traffic. You could possbily lower the frame rate and resolution to try and combat this delay? My system is offline atm whilst I do some work on fitting the cameras in more permanent positions, although im undecided where th...

Good work mbrinkho, some stuff there i wasn’t aware of, learn something new every day! :) Chris, my setup is like yours and keeps panning/tilting until the stop command is sent, i actually preferred it this way and so haven’t looked to change it. I guess you could alter the Perl script to auto s...

Im not too sure, does it work if you pass in the commands directly from your browser?

"decoder_control.cgi?command=90&user=admin&pwd=";

Just quickly, I have a windows Vista Ultimate Box with 2 * dual Freeview tuners and 2 * 1TB HDD's in the loft, and that serves the 5 Linksys DMA2100's around the house very nicely indeed. I've recently added TunerFreeMCE to give me all the iPlayer, 4OD etc services through this and apart from a few ...

Thanks for the thanks PacoLM! Glad i could help

KingofKya - i have just added this into the Wiki.

Lately ive got ZoneMinder to interface very easily with Windows Media centre on my DMA2100 extenders around the house - guide coming soon on that too!

Just one more thing that might be useful to somebody. I had an issue that on the replay of an event the first frame would show then a black screen with "time to next event = 1 seconds" would appear and i wouldnt be able to use the buttons. I found i had set the Image Buffer Size and the Pr...

Foscam FI8908W IP Camera with PT (no Z) Working in ZM 1.24.2 Just thought this might be useful for anybody using the Foscam IP FI8908W Cameras. They can be bought on eBay for around £50 and for that money they are a great buy. (Beware of fakes, see here: http://www.gadgetvictims.com/2009/09/yet-ano...

Well i've kinda solved my own problem.

If i deleted the new control that i originally created and then edited the existing PanasonicIP camera entry and just changed the protocol to foscam (from 'PanasonicIP') it worked.

Just not sure why the control i added would not work?

Cheers,

DAVE.
