Hello all,
I am having the same problem as many - images are being saved but there is no image showing in the web interface when clicking on a particular camera. Here is what I have done so far ( also have done the install several times in different jails in FreeNAS - I've tried different methods of resolution from other posts too )
I am still getting a broken image placeholder when I click on the camera monitor under ZoneMinder. arghhh - I am frustrated because I am sure this is something simple -
Here is what I am trying to do exactly:
Run ZoneMinder on Freenas
system: Build FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 (86c7ef5)
Platform Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5110 @ 1.60GHz
Memory 8161MB
Load Average 0.88, 0.76, 0.69
- I built the jail from the FN console - nothing special /
- I did NOT add Storage using the FN Jail Gui as others have suggested here ( post 194 from joshua Parker Ruehlig on 7/2/2016)
- I followed the pkg install instructions to the letter from here:
- Zoneminder 1.30 FreeBSD Installation and configuration - (links to a PDF on google drive)
Version: 1.02 dated 6/23/2016 ( * thanks Melloa * )
- I did NOT modify FSTAB as recommended on page 12 of Melloa's Doc. - FSTAB / tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=01777 0 0 ( becasue fstab was empty )
- I did correct the path as recommended by other posts - ZM web Gui / Options / Paths - PATH_ZMS = /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms
The Good News
- ZM is up and running ( just like the first build ) - I have the web front end and can add CAMS
- The Cams work in ZM - capturing / motion detection / etc
- I can save images on an alert as is designed - I can download them in a zip file
The Bad News
- When clicking on a Cam I still get a broken image placeholder and the error log shows :
- getCmdResponse stream error: Socket /var/run/zm/zms-898367s.sock does not exist. This file is created by zms, and since it does not exist, either zms did not run, or zms exited early. Please check your zms logs and ensure that CGI is enabled in apache and check that the PATH_ZMS is set correctly. Make sure that ZM is actually recording. If you are trying to view a live stream and the capture process (zmc) is not running then zms will exit. Please go to http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en...-when-i-can-see-stills-in-the-zone-window-etc for more information. - checkStreamForErrors()
Somewhere someone said something about CGI not working correctly - a path issue ?
Any help would be appreciated - I am also going to post this information in the ZoneMinder forums in the event the fix is related to a configuration or setting particular to the Camera I am using: an SV3C POE Cam with varifocal lens
