Cannot write to event folder

Post by enry86cami »

Hi all,
from web gui in option->storage in have added a mounted folder where I want to save my events:

Code: Select all

Id	Name	Path	Type	Scheme	Server	DiskSpace	Events	Mark
1	Default	/var/cache/zoneminder/events	local	Medium		3.80GB of 7.78GB	3 using 102.12MB	
3	USBSSD	/home/USBSSD	local	Medium		7.01GB of 465.75GB	235 using 4.51GB
all the cameras "storage area" is set to "USBSSD" and everything works.

But in the log I have this:

Code: Select all

web_php		1012	WAR	Cannot write to event folder /home/mnt_nas_nvr. Check that it exists and is owned by the web account user.
"/home/mnt_nas_nvr" was and old storage location that I removed...
What can I check to remove definitively this storage path?

Many thanks

It's in the database: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL.

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
