connecting to console remotely from internet..

After much reading, numerous experimentation, and long hours - I have my livecd 1.22.2 installed on hd and a bluecherry card running great on a 60 watt 12 volt duron mod in an old packbell case. I can access console from within network, { http://192.168.1.xxx/zm } everything seems to be fine, but my friend cant get login over internet.

port 443

I knew about port 80 (http) but what about Apache's requirement for port 443?

so it is port 80 to forward..

OK, so if I open port 80 for the computer running zoneminder, {192.168.1.xxx}then when my friend goes to http://66.4x.xxx.xx/zm he should get the console? or is the correct address going to be http://66.4x.xxx.xx:80/zm? I also went to james site and there isnt a clickable link for zm4ms...

So port 80 DOES need to be forwarded to access from internet

So I think I get it - port 80 has to be opened/forwarded in my router setup to access the console remotely and the reason it works on local network is because it's on this side of my router....

still no remote connection..

I still have no remote login, even tho the console and all functions work fine so far from local network. I forwarded port 80/tcp and even 443/tcp in my router setup, -I even went as far as dmz'ing my local zm box and still no remote login!

I am still open to suggestions..

Well I see the new LiveCD 1.22.3 is out - so I am downloading that and plan to redo my install and see if that helps my remote connection to console issue.

Installed 1.22.3 from LiveCD - still no luck..

Well the new version 1.22.3 is nice - it has some new features and seems to work great except, -->still no remote connection to console!

How to access ZoneMinder from another computer

Hi, I have setup a computer to act as a surveillance system using Zoneminder and now I would like to access the ZM console from any computer, is it possible?. Thanks, Paco PS: Sorry, I searched the forum, but I didn't find the answer.

I think I have it...

I have opened the port for my local ip that runs ZM in the router and now I could access the zm console remotely.
