I have had ubuntu 8.04 running Zoneminder 1.22.3 for over 2 years with a capture card and cctv cameras.
I just bought a Trendnet IP512p camera.
My zoneminder box will not connect to it. The main error I get is ,
[Restarting capture daemon for ipcam, shared memory not valid],
I have pulled my hair out wasting time with shared memory settings.
I just booted a live cd of 9.10 with Zoneminder 1.22.3 that I remastered from another system and the IP camera works fine. (It ran all night in the live environment.)
From that test I have concluded I have a permission problem in my 8.04 install that is not letting www-data ( the ZM process) access what it needs to grab the stream. From the same box I can stream the camera to firefox while using vnc to connect to it.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks
Allan
