Can't open device /dev/video
says my w3cam frequently
Even though I made a script
that looks like this:
cat S88ownVideo
chown root:sys /dev/video0
chmod 777 /dev/video0
while sys is a group that I added apache to
and apache is the user under which (per linuxconf) apache accesses CGIs
I got that script linked in rc3.d and rc5.d
sometimes I get that failure
even when the permissions were still fine
Sometimes those permissions don't seem to get changed or get changed after the change
- What would be doing that ?
Sure there is something I should do better - Am all ear !
I have two setups PIII one with a Creative CPIA Cam II
and one with an avermedia BT878 based card
