No interface access after upgrade 1.30.4 to 1.34.5

Post by extremesurf »

I have had a Zoneminder system running for years without any issues, and today I decided to upgrade it from 1.30.4 to 1.34.5. It runs on CentOS 7, so I had to remove the zmrepo and add the new RPM Fusion repo to do the yum update. All updates ran successfully, no errors. After I did that I made a backup of the database and ran zmupdate.pl to upgrade the database, and it went through and updated to the latest version without any errors or issues. Manually started Zoneminder, and I can see that it is loaded and running with 'systemctl status zoneminder.service' and it appears to be recording and monitoring.

My problems:

1.) For some reason I cannot load /zm/ in the web browser though, just says "The requested URL /zm/index.php was not found on this server.". If I load just the IP address in my browser I get the Apache HTTP Server test page so I know that httpd is working.

2.) I assume this is related to problem #1, but I also cannot load it on zmNinja on my phone, cameras all just show up blank

Any suggestions to help me get things functioning again? Thanks in advance!

Got the web browser stuff fixed and accessible by adding a couple of lines to the fstab to load the proper link on boot up. Now the interface works perfectly but the video feeds show broken images.

Got it fixed. Had to edit /etc/zm/conf.d/zmcustom.conf and add the following lines:

Code: Select all

ZM_PATH_ZMS=/cgi-bin-zm/nph-zms
ZM_PATH_CGI=/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin

Your cgi backend might be corrupt as well. Maybe its easier to setup from scratch again.

Using /etc/zm/conf.d/zmcustom.conf is the correct solution in this case. I also use https://zmserver/cgi-bin instead of https://zmserver/zm/cgi-bin and I am using 'webuser' instead of 'www-data' so using the configuration file, which remains static and unaffected by updates and upgrades of ZM, is the easy way if modifying zoneminder to fit in alternative installations
