Zoneminder Not Capturing Events

Post by resuni »

For some reason I cannot get Zoneminder to capture events. I have tried setting the function to either record or mocord but events still do not show up in the list. What else do I have to do to enable events?

Some logs or more details will help to help...

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

What other details do you need? I can tell you I'm using a pair of PV-143 cards. Where are the log files you want me to post?

/var/log/syslog or enable the log option and attach a screenshot.

Here is my /var/log/syslog. I couldn't find the option to enable logging in Zoneminder.

Hi,

Seems a permission problem:

Code: Select all

FAT [Can't symlink '1' to 'Monitor-1': Permission denied]
Try:

Code: Select all

chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/zoneminder
(change the path to your path)

Hope it helps,

PacoLM

That seemed to do the trick. I ran `chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/images/` then `chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/events/` and events seem to be sucessfully listing. Thanks!
