Can't add a monitor

[jelutz77]

I just installed ZoneMinder 1.28.0 on CentOS 6.6, and can navigate the screens. But I can't add my IP camera. I can get captures by putting the correct URL in my web browser, but when I try to add the camera (Remote, HTTP, simple, IP address, path, and resolution) and press [save], the Console screen refreshes and still has no monitors. This happens in IE 11 and Waterfox 28.0. When I check the log, I see messages like this:

I don't know if these missing processes are the cause, but it looks like I shouldn't have these processes because of what they are from the description. The javascript might be a clue, but it looks like it's related to the log screen; I only get them when I'm watching the log screen as well. I have no logs in my log file, so there's no help there. I'm at a loss. What else can I look for?

Did you fix the known bug?

Note: There is a slight bug that causes the screen to not refresh when a camera is added. In a terminal edit file:

sudo nano /usr/share/zoneminder/skins/classic/js/skin.js

search for and remove line:

window.addEvent( 'domready', checkSize);

(should be line 89)

add the line to the end of the file as shown below:

{
windowToFront();
}
window.addEvent( 'domready', checkSize);

Save the edited file (CTRL+o then CTRL+x)

Restart Zoneminder

I had not known about the fix, and had not done that. The first part (line 89) wasn't done, but the second part was already there, at the end of the file.

This didn't help though. It's not surprising though, since I had tried going back to the page directly to force a refresh, to no effect as well.

Im new to ZM also, I just installed ZM 1.28 on lubuntu. I also had issues with the host path. I got it to work with paths from the ispy web page. There is a wide list of camera paths. I went to the ispy website ispyconnect there are so many paths listed here. I just purchased a IP Sricam. I could not get it to work in ZM, so I chose a path that I thought would work in ZM, put the path in and it worked. What a surprize! There is plenty to choose from in terms of camera paths. So I thought I would share this information with the group. Another resource is,Flash's IP Camera Database, you may have to google it, but its very helpful in getting the correct setup to get you up and running. I hope this helps.

jelutz77, your problem seems to be the same I have in this topic: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 32&t=22813

[jelutz77]

Nearly. Except I don't even get a 0 record in my monitors.

You have missunderstod what I wrote. It is in the Zones table I get records where the field for monitor id is 0.
In the Monitors table I get nothing at all!
