What happened?

Post by herrjon »

I've been using zoneminder for years... but can't find the path settings for my server in version 1.32.2.

What happened to:
* PATH_MAP
* PATH_SWAP
???

It looks like mapping still uses the shared memory PATH_MAP settings but everything is swapping to disk. I need to swap to memory in order to keep up with my cameras.

Thanks,
Jon

To change the settings that were formally under the Path tab you can create a file in /etc/zm/conf.d/ with the file extension of .conf and enter the parameter in the file. For example I wanted to change the location of PATH_SWAP.

in a terminal logged in as root:
nano /etc/zm/conf.d/tmp.conf

Enter:
ZM_PATH_SWAP=/dev/shm

Save and close the file. Restart Zoneminder

Zoneminder Base Configurationis located in /etc/zm/zm.conf
However that file has a warning:
# *** DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE ***
#
# To make custom changes to the variables below, create a new configuration
# file, with an extention of .conf, under the /etc/zm/conf.d
# folder, containing your desired modifications.
