Basic Apache

[jon rouse]

I've installed Apache on Mandrake 9.0 and I can see the default page when I put the server address into a browser on another machine on the network.

I have a web cam which can store pictures on a web site. I'd like to store them on my Apache Web Server. How do I set the permissions so that the web cam can do this? I keep getting a message saying "unable to contact web site".

get camstream, link the output file of camstream to your apache webcam directory, and put the code into the page displaying it to refresh however long you want it to refresh. it's not the only way to do it, but it works decent enough for me, i have mine set to a 1 second refreshed display that pops up in it's own window.

Its not the streaming that's the problem, its uploading to the web server. I suspect its something to do with http access, but I can't find a simple explanation of this anywhere.
