ZM: 1.30.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server
I'm trying to get MoDect working. Live view works fine (Monitor) and I can see the cam, but when I switch it from Monitor to Modect the "socket doesn't exist" error pops up when i enter any of the active zones to try and get it to record. Strangely enough, when it's set to continuous record it will record an event properly.
What is different about my setup is that the server is remote and this is a multi-server install (mysql db is remote and i've mounted the /events and /images folders using sshfs). No problem with the mounting or access privileges and it does seem to record properly in continuous mode.
What can I look at next? Any help appreciated!

# looks like 200 is getting returned from /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms so my cgi-bin address is correct?
ZM won't record in MoDect mode
Re: ZM won't record in MoDect mode
Well, the obvious question... is there something moving in front of the camera that the system can detect? Record and mocord record all the time. Modect only records on motion detection.
Re: ZM won't record in MoDect mode
Right. I'm tweaking the modect settings and seem to be having more success with events getting recorded, so will continue to tweak that.
I am still worried about the zm stacktrace that says that cgi-bin is misconfigured, is that something I should worry about or try to fix or are there a lot of other causes which could trigger that error message?

Possible you have some permissions that need to be fixed. If you used the readthedocs to install Zoneminder I recommend you review the install in the WIKI: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_waysiukwai wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:52 pm Right.

Also, change PATH_SWAP to /dev/shm
Re: ZM won't record in MoDect mode
Right. That was the exact guide I used to install ZM (onto a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.03). I've already double and triple checked the apache a2enmod cgi, etc commands. How can I troubleshoot further on my system?
