Reinstall problems

[Sider]

Hi all,

I was successfully running Zoneminder 1.34.16 on Ubuntu 18.04 without any issues however I accidentally uninstalled it when running

Code: Select all

apt purge php7.4*

it included zoneminder for some reason and I missed it the list.
Anyway, when I realized what happened I simply reinstalled it with

Code: Select all

apt install zoneminder

I have all settings restored , video archive available, cameras working, but two things went wrong:

• I can see no Live video stream (camera offline in each window), although cameras work and I can see video recorded.

• API does not work, When opening

  Code: Select all

  myserver/zm/api/

it shows:

Code: Select all

CakePHP: the rapid development php framework
Not Found
Error: The requested address '/api/' was not found on this server.

CakePHP: the rapid development php framework
CakePHP 2.10.8

I checked the permissions for api folder - its www-data, but some folders and files seem to be missing in api:

Code: Select all

root@nas:/# ls -l /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api
total 40
drwxr-xr-x 10 www-data www-data  4096 июн 12 21:41 app

-rw-r--r--  1 www-data www-data   437 июн  9 19:10 README.md

I did some research on forums, but without any result. Need help to restore those functions and keep the data (without fresh install)

I thought only this kind of thing happened to me

Does the ZM console come up/display in a web browser? Almost sounds like the web server doesn't know about ZM. Check https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... -04-bionic: looks like perhaps step 7 could be all that's necessary.

Worked like a charm! I'm so grateful, mate.

However initial including zoneminder in php removal command looks wrong on the first place. This command can be found at many debian forums, so zoneminder dependencies a might be worth a look.
