As I noted, ZM components are referencing THREE variables associated with SSL. In 1.30.4 I used TWO (configured in zm.conf).

Yes, I am having API issues. That is why I am asking why a packaged component is showing three ZM-specific variables associated with SSL. Perhaps you aren't aware of this?

Does the fact that I can run things out of "host" (getVersion.json; getload.json etc.) mean that the API facility is working, that it is purely only the database connection that is failing? BUT... isn't authentication requiring database access? I have tried everything, even statically setting ...

In pursuit of some API issues ( https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=29428&sid=68a54a38d90f8da47f4ee14da7d13e36 ) I started digging through php code and found that database.php.default references three ZM SSL variables: 'ssl_ca' => ZM_DB_SSL_CA_CERT, 'ssl_key' => ZM_DB_SSL_CLIENT_KEY ...

Tried running zmNinja desktop on my server but it wouldn't run (sandbox issues), so am currently trying to troubleshoot through web browsers only (Firefox). On ZM I enabled OPT_USE_LEGACY_API_AUTH and am able to, via web browser, get getVersion.json to return proper values. With anything that ...

Same connect issue with events.json. What I meant when I said I was wanting to try ZMninja direclty ON the server was more for convenience than anything to do with ZMninja-specific processing/operation: I don't trust the mechanisms with browser access (authenticating by logging in on one window and ...

Would running ZMninja desktop directly on the server likely give me more insight? I'd have done this already if not for the fact that the server is headless: it's kind of remote; I'd have to lug a monitor, keyboard and mouse to test). Seems that I'm the only person to have this problem that isn't ...

OK, I messed with the certs to no avail. ZMninja desktop (on a client) logs make it appear as though it's a cache problem (highlighted below)?

Continuing to dig into this.. At this point it seems most likely that it's an SSL cert issue or a socket one. The former affecting the later? mysql.sock is properly configured, so that's not likely it. Which seems to leave SSL cert as the issue. I'd previously used a self-signed cert w/o issue ...

As this seems to be a DB connection issue I'm tending to focus on that. Here's a couple more bits of relevant information on mysqld (as reported by phpinfo): Version: mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev - 20150407 core SSL: supported extended SSL: supported Loaded plugins: mysqlnd,debug_trace,auth_plugin_mysql ...

Yeah, that's one take on what the error could be about. I've got zero resource issues that I've been able to determine. The ONLY thing that seems to raise a red flag is the number of active_connections that phpinfo reported: 18446744073709551614 This is on a system install that's less than a week ...

Still having issues. mysql log: 2020-05-16 6:05:47 12362 [Warning] Aborted connection 12362 to db: 'zm' user: 'zmuser' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) Increased cake debugging level and now see this output: Request URL: /zm/api/monitors/index/Type%20!=:WebSite.json ...

Thanks! I'll close this thread here and pick back up on my one under viewtopic.php?f=40&t=29428.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure this one out before I totally trashed my server (not ZM's fault). I'd had _some_ functions show up with just a name (no control boxes appearing) in which they were clickable but nothing would happen. This was on an OS and ZM upgrade: Debian Stretch to Buster and ...
