Topic: Zoneminder on SME 8 b7

[guest22]

The same goes for Mary and others... I believe the effort to help you is beyond the usual hint and tips to be expected in a forum.

And yes, things do evolve and progression is being made, hence nothing stays the same.

Have you tried using a USB camera, to test your setup ?
I seem to recall reading that a USB camera should be detected without requiring compiled modules.

Y'all sure went to a lot of trouble to destabilize a perfectly good SME setup instead of just installing VMWare and a Zoneminder appliance.

Are you using SME as a VMware host? I would like to setup VMWare, but am having troubles finding the best host software. I typically do a lot of testing and trying out stuff on production equipment, so I don't have much room for mistakes.

I would imagine that you don't!

I use SME as a VM under PVE (Proxmox Virtual Environment) http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page. Works really good ...

Ok I have everything installed and running... Sort of.

ZoneMinder does not start automatically but the init.d service will start

when I go to localhost/zm/ I get no page and I don't know why.

Time to go shovel the sidewalk.

I can't seem to find the open source version, nor the Open Source license of Proxmox? Can you help?

you don't need to buy support/subscription

[guest22]

Amazing product this Proxmox.

Amazing product this Proxmox.

indeed.. IMVHO the only drawback is that it is based on debian (no religion war here, at all).
if it were based on centos / rh there would be more certified hardware

[vpurger]

... but kernel is from rh6 + openvz patch

Maybe it's time to open a 'vitualization' section on the forums...

no..

there are already some topics and similar requests.. the answer is "no, it's not necessary as SME works as a VM as long as linux virtual machines are supported"..

i.e. it does make no difference if you use virtualbox on your laptop or a very big cluster with a very expensive version of vmware: SME is always the same.

finally, I would add that nowadays, when we (generally speaking) need more servers (defferent O.S. or different version), we should always install something like esxi or proxmox on the bare metal.. installing vmware server or virtualbox inside SME is not a good idea

All IMVHO
