Hi all, I installed zm on two laptops, both using debian wheezy.
I succesfuly configured apache by

Code: Select all

cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf 001-zoneminder
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
I go to localhost/zm and add a new monitor hust to test something.

Code: Select all

Name: laptop
Source type: local
Function: monitor
Maximum FPS: 12
Device Path: /dev/video0
Capture Method: 2
Device Channel: 1
Device Format: PAL
Capture Palette: jpeg
Capture Width (pixels): 640
Capture Height (pixels): 480
All the other parameters are left to the default value.
When I clic on the monitor name, it opens a new windows but no image/video is shown (blank).

xawtv works fine.

/var/log/zm is empty

setting
Capture Width (pixels): 1366
Capture Height (pixels): 768
I get black backgruond instead of blang, pressing the monitor name.
Still no video tough.
