Thank you very much for the detailed help. I was thinking of buying a larger hard drive anyways for the data files of ZM. Will try your suggestion asap. U R Welcome! The other guys suggest a reinstall and I agree but I always build my server systems where I separate systems drives and functions fro...

I saw the web page for Zoneminder and decided to dive into Linux for the first time in order to take advantage of this great program. The only version of linux that I found worked with my computer was pclinuxos. It took me a long time to get ZM to install on my computer because the install instruct...

I need your help about a details installation and configuration of Zoneminder on Ubuntu 7.10 desktop. thanks I am closing up on a 16 port analog ZM system for my c...

I had to redo this... sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/zmfix zmfix -a sudo chown www-data.www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/temp If zmfix was running when you upgraded, or locked when you "fixed" it, you may not have seen the problem. Lee you were right about this and I thank you. it is important to...

See my link you posted... You have to reset all the "fixes" from the working install. I am not sure what you mean by "You have to reset all the "fixes" from the working install.". Are you saying that the upgrade wiped out my previous fixes? I tried all my cameras and e...

I am a little stuck. Please tell me the proper sequence of commands to upgrade my system from 1.22.3 to 1.23.2. I am using the Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy distro.

Thanks for helping. Moving the events folder to a second drive freed up the main drive for the OS and DB. Now I can fill up the 2nd drive with events. My intention is to backup the events folder to tape or DVD in the future. For now, I will just let it hold the data for now. I know that this is noob...

I would be interested in paying for support or a consultant to enable a couple features that are currently broken on my zoneminder system. I think "services" has better revenue potential than selling hardware without all of the pitfalls that anyone who has ever sold hardware can share wit...

I am using Ubuntu and ZM 1.23.x. It works great but I built it on a 40 gb SATA drive as a test bed. It took much pain and sleepless nights (IM Newbie) to get it working. I want to install a 500Gb SATA, more memory, and add on 16 cameras with a PV183 from Bluecherry. I am too lazy (and a big chicken)...

This is not really a website issue, but it seemed the best place. I have been reading a lot of posts from frustrated people trying to get ZM up and running, some with little to no Linux experience. So that got me thinking of how handy it could be to build, configure and ship some systems to people ...

If you can get a username into the HTTP_REMOTE_USER environment variable you can use ZM remote authentication. But other than that what you have done seem sensible. If I can think of a generic way to include this then I will include it in the main distro. Phil Have any improvements been made on this?

The answer is here. http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Documentation#Installation_from_a_.deb That or get a newer version where this is fixed. Thanks Lee Sharp. I put on my eye glasses and read it this time. It works! Thanks! What a challenge it has been to get this up and running! Thanks, Ag...
