!!!HELP!!!
After much success I blew the whole thing up. now that I have reloaded the machine and and Zoneminder. The images are not showing up. they do show up in the zones area but not the live view. Whet have I done wrong? Should I post the logs? they make no sense to me as I am a network engineer only speak numbers.
Re: !!!HELP!!!
Did you enable cgi in apache?
You did not say what Linux distribution you were using. There are some good install instructions in the Zoneminder WIKI:

If you want success I can recommend the Ubuntu 14.04 with Zoneminder 1.28.1

Re: !!!HELP!!!
Thak you so much that fixed almost everything. the only issue I see now is with local cameras I get a broken image and this in the log
ERR 'zmc -d /dev/video1' exited abnormally, exit status 255
FAT Failed to open video device /dev/video1: Permission denied
Remote cams are working fine.

Re: !!!HELP!!!
Thank You Thank You. Blessings to you and your's and scurge to your enemies.
Only one issue left that is email. where is the best resource for help on postfix issues? When it hits tries to login to my gmail account Google prevents and sends me a message about loging in with an unsecure device.

Re: !!!HELP!!!
Well, I do not use ZM to send emails but I do use nullmailer to send update notices from Webmin. Our email provider uses a non-standard SMTP port which I have configured like this in the nullmailer/remotes file
mail.yourdomain.com smtp --port=26 --user=mailer@yourdomain.com --pass=(your password)
I googled the problem and came up with this:
mail.example.com smtp --port=587 --starttls --user=mailalot --pass=LetMeIn
from this web site:http://metz.gehn.net/2012/11/nullmailer-with-starttls/
More info here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... mtp-server
Good luck!

Re: !!!HELP!!!
In googling around I found references to the /usr/local/etc/zm.conf file. it seems to be missing from my machine. where do i get this file or what needs to be in it if i make it.

Re: !!!HELP!!!
zonminder is in </usr/share/zoneminder>
event images are in </var/cache/zoneminder/events>
do I need to create a symlink between these directories?
I can see that the images are being created but they cannot be viewed from the web.

Re: !!!HELP!!!
Darn that was an awfully generic reply.
I have followed those steps to the letter except for the distro upgrade because the newer distros wont support the onboard network card in this machine, and there is only 1 pci slot which is populated by a capture card. I would think that this would have to be a permissions issue except I have tried everything I can think of permissions wise and nothing works.
Again this is my set up
Ubuntu 14.04
ZM 1.26.5
zonminder is in </usr/share/zoneminder>
event images are in </var/cache/zoneminder/events>
i have a symlink between these two directories
Perms on </var/cache/zoneminder/events> are 0777
it is owned by www-data
Perms on /usr/share/zoneminder are 0755
it is owned by root
If I type the direct url to the images I get access denied.

Re: !!!HELP!!!
Do you have cameras connected to your capture card? If so it could be a driver issue with the old capture card. You might try Ubuntu 12.04 to see if you can get ZM to work on it.
