You've done well there. I have only worked with IPv4. I am of the opinion that IPv6 is a royal pain in the back. I disable it everywhere in my network. I know I am in a dinosaur meantality minority and should get with the times but I just can't get on with IPv6. Necessary but badly architected in my ...

This looks good. You'll start understanding bit by bit. I'll highlight what this has told us: I turned the Firewaal back on. I'm starting to understand it all less and less. So turn off the firewall and turn it back on again. I don't understand the terms ip a ip route dig example.com at all. I see a ...

Doesn't seem permissions related so far to me. First block seems to be ffmpeg unable to deal with the image/stream type. Second is a well known one, link on it but I would first focus on first and last. Last one might be either a misconfiguration of nginx or zm to connect to it, or simply that nginx ...

So this is ubuntu, right? let's go from the top, to see how is doing its network things. Commands from $ are as normal user, from # are from elevated (root) or sudo. let's find out its ip address: $ip a this ip address needs to be in the range of your router. You can log in to your router admin ...

may I respectfully suggest to go over the installation steps?
There are various places where settings need to be correct for the data to be saved. From config of the storage to permissions. Perhaps you can then narrow down the problem.

" but no live views are working. "
What does it show on the UI ? I recently had a problem after a reinstall (Ubuntu though) and the problem was down to the webserver (Apache).
So it is is important to understand what is happening. Webbrowser built-in tools are useful. I was getting 404s

probably the pc had no DNS or no gateway configured correctly or both. A typical result of router change when the clients haven't been "made aware" by restarting their dhcp clients.

Thank you. I spent so much time and effort before to do the zones and settings for motion detection that I could never get right. In the end I pretty much gave up. Since then cameras are on mocord. I need to get a larger disk to keep more events though. My main problem is very variable weather, a ...

Perhaps nothing to do with it but maybe time is something to check as well.
I had as ususal had to go and fix it when we had the change to BST (I am in the UK). If anytning it might be the reason for events out of order/time jumping.

I deleted the ZM config because I just use the apache sites-enabled with my config file there: ###MY sites-enabled config file...keep in my mind I have my ZM on the root path rather than using http://mysite/zm/ ## so my ScriptAlias are going to NOT have /zm/ in front. <== THIS GAVE ME An IDEA As ...

Permissions are all correct with www-data as owner (this is Ubuntu) with the exception of /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/ that is owned by root. That is OK though, the zms binary inside is working for creating the recordings. The link from conf-available to conf-enabled is normal. What happens is that ...

Thinking even more about it. Reinstallation of ZM but my storage for events is on an a separate disk. Could it be that which needs adjusting the configs? Maybe I'm just thinking aloud and posting in the hope I can cast my eyes on it and spot my idiocy. I still have (reinstallation didn't purge it ...

Thanks @adam.robertson I appreciate the hint. Just a glance at the perl script and is for updating the database from what I can gather. It wouldn't do anything: mysql> select * from Config where Name = 'ZM_DYN_DB_VERSION ...

@ZM_CACHEDIR@ is a build-time replacement. Apache will do nothing with it. It should be for debian based distros: Alias /zm/cache "/var/cache/zoneminder/cache" <Directory "/var/cache/zoneminder/cache"> Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> Require all ...

Nein. Still being a pain, sorry. I now have: /etc/zm/conf.d/01-system-paths.conf # ZoneMinder url path to the zms streaming server ZM_PATH_ZMS=/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms #ZM_PATH_ZMS=/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms and /etc/apache2/sites-available/zoneminder.conf # Remember to enable cgi mod (i.e ...
