i did find an error in /var/log/zoneminder/zmwatch.log

04/11/2008 14:06:20.460454 zmwatch[17833].ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d200d', 13: No such file or directory]

i found a segment owner was root and fixed it with ipcs tools
now owner is apache
0x7a6d200e 59408398 apache 700 9217188 1

i dont get any errors but i dont get any monitoring aswell.

an update

i see the cam is storing jpeg files on hd under events/14/1/
(monitor id is 14)
but how i access the stream being monitored from web interface
it marks me events 0 and i cant click the monitor name like the readme says
to watch the stream.

ok another update

after few restarts of the app and readding the webcam as monitor
its catching events , on firefox i see motions from the jpegs but on ie7 i see them as sets of jpegs. why ?

also monitor-Zones.jpg is not created so i cant really choose zones.
i see in httpd error log it cant find this file.
any idea how to fix this problem aswell ?
