Done, didn't seem to help.
Just looking at the above, what is /DeepStack/ALPR, is that meant to be a directory? Could it be I needed to open an ALPR directory here?

I think you may still have a permissions problem because car.jpg is not in the folder,
Here is my Security tab:

I think that did it! I see the car.jpg and the ALPR.jpg file is changing. Where is the logfile.txt stored?
Seems to still be an odd error here?
Was on this plate:
Permissions are all fine...
IIRC, your errors specifically said "Permission error" vs "Value Error"?

Hmmm...think I found it...one sec..
No maybe not. I thought maybe it was the below
I changed the config file as follows:
Because I don't have an ALPR directory in this folder:
Which removed the ValueError, but still getting no Chars. I should have started completely from scratch vs using my existing BI setup where I had changed the ports and directories ages ago.
This was the last shot (car.jpg and alpr.jpg):

Checked it. Still having issues. I'm convinced it is a directory/storage mismatch somewhere.
This isn't making sense, my last ALPR.jpg was from 1:20pm today, my last "car.jpg" is from a few minutes ago.
What is this File path.txt meant to do exactly? I.e. setting it up in the Immediate Actions/Trigger tab of the cropped camera, is it supposed to tell the camera were to save the images?

Which cam should be pointing to that directory? The main LPR cam (ie record tab where it saves jpgs?)

Okay, I think that is the problem. The ALPR directory has not been created within the Alerts folder. Am I supposed to manually create it or is there a setting somewhere in the Crop camera to tell it to save alerts to that folder?
Come to think of it, I'm not sure how the FrontDoor, Driveway and LPR ones were created below, I thought it was created by adding "&CAM\%Y%m%d\&CAM.%Y%m%d_%H%M%S" into the "Record JPG" section of the Record tab, but it is not doing it for any of my other cameras?
E,g my Garage camera has alerts from yesterday that are saved into the main Alerts folder below vs a subfolder with the name "Garage" on it, even though I have that same thing setup. E.g., Driveway and Garage Record tabs noted below:
