Hello.
Since my update from motion 3.4 to 4.2.1, I have adapted my conf file and
sucessfully launched motion as deamon at start-up.
Nevertheless, I have this persistent errors preventing to laucnh web stream
and web control :
here is my logs :

and here is my conf file concerning webcontrol and livestream :

# Webcontrol configuration parameters
############################################################
# Port number used for the webcontrol.
webcontrol_port 6789
# Restrict webcontrol connections to the localhost.
webcontrol_localhost off
# Type of configuration options to allow via the webcontrol.
webcontrol_parms 2
webcontrol_interface 0
webcontrol_ipv6 on
############################################################
# Live stream configuration parameters
############################################################
# The port number for the live stream.
stream_port 0
# Restrict stream connections to the localhost.
stream_localhost off
I have disabled livestream to isolate one problem from another.
It seems my webcam (Wifi) is accessed after motion try to launch the web
server. Could that explain that we can't have a web interface withtout a
working cam accessed by motion ?
Thnaks for your feedback
regards

The camera connecting should not cause the message below.? I suspect
permissions or a port conflict since there only a few options that
Motion sets for MHD and the message indicates that it can not start.?
You can try:
1. Run from command line to see whether a normal user can start the MHD
2. Run as sudo
If either of the above work then it would be a question of what groups
need to get added to the "motion" user which runs the daemon.? (The
other distros do not have permission issues so I do not know which to
add specifically).
For port conflicts, validate that Motion is not already running as a
second instance (turn off daemon mode and reboot and validate it is not
running when getting back in).? Also, try changing the port number
and/or ensuring that no other process is using port 6789
Finally, if the above does not work, it would be a question of what
options does MHD actually support on your distro which may be in the
build log associated with MHD.? Motion is setting the following:
MHD_USE_THREAD_PER_CONNECTION, MHD_USE_POLL , MHD_USE_SELECT_INTERNALLY
and MHD_USE_DUAL_STACK (for the IPV6)
