Using motion
I am using motion on my Raspberry Pi with an HP webcam. When I begin motion, and from another computer, type in the address of the server with the webcam, then the port (8000/8001), it just says that the page could not be found. When I type in just the IP address, i come to a page that says "It works!", which I believe, to be the default Apache page.
Is there a service that motion needs to stream the video, to allow remote connections to view it? I had it working before, and it prompted me for a username/password.
EDIT: I tried accessing it locally on the same machine with the webcam, and still get the error that the page could not be located. It says that it cannot resolve the hostname (localhost). It can display just the localhost page, which is that "It works!" page.
