Hello
I'm using ver 132.3 and Debian 10. Clicking the 'classic' radio buttons for both skin and default css doesn't change anything. How can I get the classic skin back? Coming from ver 1.30.4 the current one is far less intuitive.
I also installed a new hard drive just for ZM. Under the storage link I put in the path /mnt/*** and left everything else at the default settings. Now I constantly get the error message "the video could not be loaded either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." However the console shows all cameras capturing and events show in the graph. All cameras are set to Mocord except one that's set to Monitor. A separate desktop widget shows video from all cameras and links turn red as expected when events occur, so I know the cameras are working.
I also can not find any mention of the Option - Storage in the wiki
Classic Skin/Storage

You may also need to select them in the drop-downs on 'Options' -> 'Display' page.
If it's not a timezone problem with php.ini (there often seem to be two entries), or an ownership/permissions issue, then you could try mounting the new drive directly over the Zoneminder folder, or bind-mounting it.I also installed a new hard drive just for ZM.

Copy the current ZM data to the new drive...
Code: Select all
cp -pR /var/lib/zoneminder /mnt/***/
Code: Select all
ls -l /mnt/***
ls -l /mnt/****/zoneminder
Code: Select all
chmod 755 /mnt/***/zoneminder /mnt/***/zoneminder/*
Code: Select all
mount /dev/sdx1 /var/lib/zoneminder/
OR
mount --bind /mnt/***/zoneminder /var/lib/zoneminder
Re: Classic Skin/Storage
The attached screen shots show my current settings. The classic skin setting still has no effect. The output from ls -l is
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 26 04:07 zoneminder. Where do I check and see if there's a timezone problem?

Re: Classic Skin/Storage
This could be an ownership issue - That folder should belong to the www-data/apache user (depends on the distro).
For CentOS and similar derivatives, try...
Code: Select all
chown -R apache:apache /mnt/surveillance/zoneminder
You should also make sure that /mnt and /mnt/surveillance have the eXecute bit set...
Code: Select all
chmod +x /mnt /mnt/surveillance
Where do I check and see if there's a timezone problem?
Code: Select all
grep date.timezone /etc/php.ini
Your php.ini may be in a different place, again depending on your Linux distro.
Re: Classic Skin/Storage
I made the changes you suggested. In the ZM log I get this error repeatedly 2019-07-26 11:48:37 web_php 17723 FAT Can't create frame images from video because there is no video file for this event at (/mnt/surveillance/zoneminder/3/2019-07-26/1223/1223-video.mp4 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/views/image.php 167
Re: Classic Skin/Storage
Does this file (and the directory) actually exist?
Code: Select all
ls -l /mnt/surveillance/zoneminder/3/2019-07-26/1223/1223-video.mp4
Re: Classic Skin/Storage
Everything seems to be working fine now except the Classic Skin. Changing those settings still has no effect.
