Re: Motion not showing web page, nor captured videos (chuck elliot) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2023 09:31:12 +0100 From: Ian Smith <ian.smit...@gmail.com> To: motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Motion-user] Motion not showing web page, nor captured videos Message-ID: <df46ae10-0d1d-2cef-d9f6-226ae8545...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" My apologies for what most likely is a silly error on my behalf, but I am experiencing two issues. I am running Ubuntu 20.04, and I installed the latest version of motion. I have individual config files for the cameras, and a motion.conf file that refers to them. My motion.conf file also defines the web control port as 8080, and the stream port as 8081. Both the stream and web control "localhost" are "off" to allow me to view/ control from other devices. I can see the log file isn't showing any errors, and I am seeing files accumulating in my defined folder. I can see the localhost apache server default page is visible on the localhost and remotely. However, the page that should appear on port 8080 doesn't appear, nor does the stream on 8081. Both return "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED", but I cannot fathom why. I have checked that the firewall isn't blocking those ports, and the ports are open according to nmap. I don't know what I have done wrong. Also, when I did have this working before the computer crashed, the web pages were showing, but I couldn't see a way to review the captured videos ( I had previously used zoneminder, which had a simple way to review activity). I have been unable to find answers on the internet, nor in the documentation, so any help would be most appreciated.
