[Sheflug] motion motion.cgi

[fred <fred.dodd [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I have managed to get my cctv camera (£ 29.89 from argos) working with
motion detection software, but having problems with the use of
motion.cgi and apache web server.

Any one been able to get this working, could any one give help more than
the README file in the tar motion.cgi file

Thanks  

fred dodd

Info 

my working installation of motion is placed in

/usr/local/motion-3.06/

motion cgi is placed in

/var/www/motion/


# Allow CGI for Motion
ScriptAlias /motion/ /var/www/motion/cgi-bin/
<Directory /var/www/motion/cgi-bin>
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options ExecCgi
     Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /motion/ /var/www/motion/
<Directory /var/www/motion>
        Options ExecCgi
#       AllowOverride AuthConfig
#   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/motion/cgi-bin>
        Options ExecCgi
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/motion/control>
        Options ExecCgi
</Directory>

This is my motion.cgi.conf


SOURCE=video0=/var/www/motion/webcam-live.cgi
IMAGEDIR=/images/
ABSOLUTEPATH=/
RELATIVEPATH=/var/www/motion/
MOTIONBIN=/usr/local/motion-3.0.6/


Also when I click start motion it tries to start with motion -D but
fails, as do force snapshot and mpeg.
