zmcontrol-3.sock error

[alabamatoy]

1.32.3 with latest version of Amcrest control script, on Ubuntu 18.04. Any attempts to execute control functions results in:

Code: Select all

Jan  9 17:37:11 servername web_php[6300]: ERR [/usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --command=moveConDown --id=3=>]
Jan  9 17:37:11 servername zmcontrol[6746]: FAT [Can't connect: No such file or directory after 16 attempts to /var/run/zm/zmcontrol-3.sock]

No such file exists. can move continuous is selected.

What is happening, and how do I fix it?

[iconnor]

Try running it from command line to see what errors are generated

[alabamatoy]

Code: Select all

[username@servername ~]# perl /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl
"-T" is on the #! line, it must also be used on the command line at /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl line 1.

so I tried

Code: Select all

[username@servername ~]# perl -T /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --id 3 --command=left
DBI::db=HASH(0x55ea5329a958)->disconnect invalidates 1 active statement handle (either destroy statement handles or call finish on them before disconnecting) at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Database.pm line 128.

I still get

Code: Select all

???

[iconnor]

not a lot of useful info there.

What gets logged? You might have to turn on debugging logs.

[alabamatoy]

Turned on debug, set level to 9 and added "_zmcontrol" for log_debug_target. zmdebug.log.11412 shows:

Does this shine any light on the problem?

[simonpg]

I happen to be fiddling with the Amcrest_HTTP control script. I am using version 1.33.16, so this may not be your problem at all. In 1.33.16, the Protocol is "Amcrest_HTTP", not "amcrest_http_new". Which, of course, is not a problem if there is a file named amcrest_http_new.pm in /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control/ (That's where the script is in 1.33.16).

[alabamatoy]

I changed the name of the file when this script was installed.

I hope to upgrade to 1.34 ASAP. I hope it fixes this socket issue.

[alabamatoy]

upgrade to 1.34.1 seems to have eliminated this socket error.
