Can't access dedicated storage

[waynecoutee]

Hello,
I just set up Zoneminder 1.36.x under ubuntu (desktop).

As my pc runs on a kinda tiny 128GB SSD i added a seconds HDD as dedicated storage.

So it's mounted on boot as

Code: Select all

/mnt/recordings

Additionally i added a directory "zoneminder" and gave the ownership to www-data, like i read it on the forums. Just like

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/recordings/zoneminder/

After this i restarted the whole system and check the path

Code: Select all

ls -l /mnt/recordings/
drwxrwxr-x 2 www-data www-data  4096 Jun  3 00:32 zoneminder

Now i try to add the drive in zoneminder under options -> storage ->

name "drive"

path "/mnt/recordings/zoneminder"

-> save

But what i see in the logs at the end is

Code: Select all

03.06.23, 01:01:54 MESZ web_php 2237 ERR Path /mnt/recordings/zoneminder does not exist. /usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/Storage.php 124

And i can't figure out what i did wrong...

Maybe you got a hint?

path "/mnt/recordings/zoneminder"

maybe should be
path /mnt/recordings/zoneminder/
zm needs to make more directories there.

Are you using ext4?
