Hmm, go into /etc/rc2.d folder and find the file that has httpd in it and move it to another folder.

I used the "update-rc.d -f httpd remove" command to remove the apache webserver from startup, now...

How to run the apache server manually to use the gstmjpg?

Easy install (just installed the deb from app mgr/install file).

MS IE doesnt do the motion jpg - so thought I had a problem.
Then read the README - and on firefox all is wonderful.

Works great!
Thanks!

To stop apache you can give a command on terminal:
# httpd -k stop

To start apache again, give command:
# httpd -k start

Please feel free to develop a more ergonomic and elegant way do to this. To learn more about apache command line options give:
# httpd -h

gstmjpg consumes quite heavily cpu, but apache doesn't (if you don't have many visitors on your tablet web). You will see this by giving a command:
# top

That shows how different processes consume cpu and memory.

If you have difficulties with port forwarding to enable access outside your private network (from Internet) to your tablet, you will find good instructions from this site. They provide detailed walkthroughs on how to setup port forwarding in diffrent routers.

As a bonus you will see your external IP address from their site. If you visit their site with your tablet browser, you will see the tablets public IP address (that is the address you have to go from Internet to acces your tablet)

Is there anyway to save snapshots using the camera motion detector? So if I leave it pointing somewhere, I can check later for photos when there was movement detected?
