At one point I tried copying Logs.frm from another system, without success. Likely my inexperience with mysql. At one point got Error 13 which appears to be permissions. chown mysql:mysql fixed that, but didn't fix the problem. It did, however, likely allow me to delete the table. And likely thus th...

So, I did a dumb thing, deleted Logs.frm And mondorestore isn't happy with my mondoarchive backup of the night before, or the night before that. Which is to say ... I might not have a backup. I all but never have to do anything in mysql, so I'm bumbling about here, guidance appreciated. On the thoug...

What do I have to do to have zoneminder (I assume it is zoneminder not apache2) write group writable files? umask 0002 in /etc/apache2/envvars doesn't seem to do it. My initial chmod -R g+s * does, at least, seem to be being perpetuated for event directory creation, but the jpg's themselves are stil...

If I understand what I read in the wiki correctly, archiving almost, in essence, sets a read only flag. And once archived, events can be deleted. Only through this process is the database updated? ----- What is the recommended purge / trim / 'archive' / pick your term procedure for moving old events...

Added 'umask 006' to /etc/apache2/envvars

If that's inappropriate (a bad idea), or there's a more refined method to affect only zoneminder files, I'd appreciate a comment here.

Where do I go to set g+w permissions on the files, e.g. events? i.e. not just 'chmod -R g+w zoneminder', but so that they get created that way in the first place. I wing backups all over my network and have lost some events. When I go to restore them I get blocked for no permissions. I can work arou...

On the principle that lines have thickness?

Just remember: Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean you're wrong.

While you are fixing whatever your underlying problem is, don't re-add the camera, try setting it from "Modect/Record" to "None" and then back to "Modect". Yep. Tried that. No joy. The last time I was able to fix it - don't know that the same problem existed prior. I s...

I have had a camera repeatedly go from green to red. I'll pursue why, separately. The only solution in the mean time I could see was to re-add the camera. Each time I did, it came back green. I was able to get on with my day. So now I have a number of monitors, all but 1 inactive, each with a few ev...

Thanks for the thinking out / through. In my opinion: MJPEG should be more efficient. ... Hadn't considered the overhead of the additional http requests. Good point. ... on my DLink DCS900 cameras ... Hmmm. Considering a DCS-930L - guess one never knows one cameras is not enough until after sinking ...

My camera (Trendnet TV-IP751WIC) will stream either via /video/mjpg.cgi or via /image/jpeg.cgi. Could someone point me towards links as to why one would chose one or the other? (Been using mjpg, been happy, but with other browsing / event playback issues I have, I now wonder.) ----- I get a monitor ...

I add a new camera (TrendnetTV-IP751WIC) and all is well. Then some time later, it goes red. (While I'm away from things.) How do I go about sleuthing down what's happening? i.e. Pointers to appropriate troubleshooting links, please? Loaded the camera Friday (it's Tuesday now), was working fine unti...

Help. What have I done? Every time I try to play an event, I get what looks like 1 frame, then a black (event video) screen area / square. In the middle of the screen is what looks like white text but is gibberish. [Later: I now see a countdown timer happen. Hits 1, and stops. Same black screen, not...
