html - Running imagesnap in PHP with Mac Server -


i trying develop small site take snapshots of house using webcam connected to mac mini @ home. mac mini running os x server. webcam logitech hd pro webcam c920 (usb connected). based on php , html5 (no other code besides css).

my development machine macbook pro using internal isight camera. not running os x server; manually enabled apache , php. while developing site on laptop, worked flawlessly. when installed on mac mini imagesnap program turns on camera never finishes; have manually kill process, , snapshot never created.

the following error logged: 

imagesnap[2363]: *** qtcapturesession warning: session received following error while decompressing video: error domain=nsosstatuserrordomain code=-12903 "the operation couldn’t completed. (osstatus error -12903.)". make sure formats of video outputs configured.

this when running site directly. if run same program command-line, works fine... running _www user!

sudo -u _www bin/imagesnap images/snapshot_$date.jpg

this code call in php:

<?php  if(isset($_post['submit'])) { system('bin/run_imagesnap.sh', $return_value);         if ($return_value) {                 echo "the command failed.";         } } ?>

i unable figure out how write date output filename (i'm noob php), used bash script me (i'm better bash):

#!/bin/bash  date=`date +"%m-%d-%y_%t"` bin/imagesnap -q -w 3 images/snapshot_$date.jpg

i've tried exec(), passthru(), , shell_exec() same results.

finally, i've tried following: create test.php, put code:

<?php system('bin/run_imagesnap.sh', $return_value);             if ($return_value) {                     echo "the command failed.";             } ?>

and ran on command-line _www user using php-cli:

sudo -u _www php test.php

and worked fine (created snapshot file , did not give error).

i'm thinking maybe has os x server app, google searches return nothing.

i'm stumped. why break when run same exact code on browser works fine on command-line using same exact tools , user?

unknown if correct way, ended using sudo run script.

visudo

and give _www user passwordless root access script:

_www    all=nopasswd: /path/to/script

and works. there's more 1 way skin cat..

java - IntelliJ - No such instance method -

using intellij's 12 ultimate, i'm running following code in debugger: java import play.api.libs.json.jsvalue; public class foo { ... public jsvalue tojson() { ... } public class fooexample { ... foo foo = new foo(); system.out.println("...); //<-- breakpoint at breakpoint, right-clicked source code , picked "evaluate expression," typing in: foo.tojson() . but following error showed up: no such instance method: play.api.libs.json.jsvalue$class.com.foo.foo.tojson () am doing wrong? foo#tojson calls scala code, if matters. edit had breakpoint after instantiation of foo. downvoted it, deserved it. edit my answer no longer valid after op modified question (i.e. moved breakpoint actual is).. a breakpoint hit before line executed. in case foo has not yet been declared or instantiated (i.e. foo constructor has not yet been called). you'll need put breakpoint @ next line (or step on current line) if want evaluate foo .

identifier - Is it possible for an html5 document to have two ids? -

i wondering if html5 element can have 2 ids, this: <button id="thing1" id="thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> or this: <button id="thing1, thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> also, if 1 of ids said 1 thing, , other id said thing, 1 used? tl;dr : no. in versions of html, each element can have 1 id. see the spec : the id attribute specifies element's unique identifier (id). [dom] the value must unique amongst ids in element's home subtree , must contain @ least 1 character. the value must not contain space characters. note: there no other restrictions on form id can take; in particular, ids can consist of digits, start digit, start underscore, consist of punctuation , etc. note: element's unique identifier can used variety of purposes, notably way link specific parts of document usin
