Update

The reason why I could not find an option in the motion.conf file was
because it has changed and been renamed!

FWIW The obsolete files are at the bottom of this page:

http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/ConfigFileOptions

I still cannot stream with "webcontrol_localhost off" but motion is
working with a logitech webcam, spewing lots of pictures into a folder
when there is movement.

When I browse localhost on the pi or my pi's IP from another PC I get
the apache2 default page so apache is on and working.

I have a "motion" group for the config file and user pi is a member,
but I assumed running motion would have enabled apache to stream the
video by configuring what was in /var/www/.

How does apache get configured to serve an output video stream from a
camera, should this have been configured automagically when motion was
installed or did I miss something?

I only have "index.html" in /var/www/html/ so I assume that's why its
not seeing the stream!!
