Hello
I install zoneminder on vmware. I get the next error:

04/11/07 02:59:47.461726 zmc_dvideo[22034].INF-zm_debug.c/304 [New Debug Level = 0, New Debug Log = /var/log/zoneminder/zm_debug.log.22034]

I can't see picutre. I need to configure something special cause I'm using it in vmware?

What you posted are not errors

The are INFormation only.
Check your Apache error log and see if anything useful there.

codel, thanks for your response.
I really have some weird in my error log of the apache server:

Code: Select all

What is that mean?

UPDATE: my zoneminder is in /var/www/bcgentoo/cgi-bin/nph-zms.

So the question is what directory do you have apache configured to use as your cgi-bin folder. It is the only folder allowed to execute programs unless you configure apache to do so.
Also you have done something wierd as the installed location does not match the path given for zms in ZM. So the location of the file is not where it's configured to be.

You can move the file to the location shown in your error and it might work (has a really good chance anyway).

[edit] Glad you got it figured out

How did you get that is apache problem?

Post by **cordel** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 11:46 pm

Your fist log showed that zmc was successfully capturing frames

So logically if it's capturing frames and there are no errors there then had to be a problem with streaming which zms is responsible for which runs through Apache and is logged in Apache.

We know that zms works and no known bugs, so leaves configuration, permission's, etc. in Apache.
