Can't add monitors

RonRN18 · Post by **RonRN18** » Sun May 29, 2022 8:25 pm

I'm not sure what happened to cause this. I'm not sure if it has something to do with upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 or not, but I can no longer add new monitors. If I make any attempts to add a new monitor, once I hit the "Save" button, it takes me back to the first screen of Monitors... the "General" tab. I immediately see that "Logs" has gone to red, but upon going to "Logs", it is stuck on "Loading... Please wait." I can't view what has gone wrong in the logs via the web interface. Is there a CLI way to view the logs? Any ideas as to what went wrong?

Just because I thought I may have FUBAR'd things, I uninstalled all portions of Apache2, MariaDB, PHP and Zoneminder and then reinstalled. I still have the same thing upon trying to create a monitor. I have no issues until that point.

I am also experiencing the same issues.
I've just done a 100% reinstall of the OS and everything and still the same issues as listed above.

Ubuntu 22.04
ZM 1.36.16

I have also just upgraded an existing systems ZM install to the latest version and have the same issue with this system.

Works fine for me. Ensure you state the width and height of the video.

I have setup all parameters for the camera with no change,
This is also causing the same issue with an existing installed system with multiple working cameras.

Please try with the latest zoneminder fresh installation .
The problem is in the latest zoneminder

I was responding to the post above mine regarding an upgraded system.

I won't spend time testing on a new install, sorry.

Ive managed to get some logs that is complaining about a depreciated function and also the php code thats seems to cause the issue.

FFS! I am so tired of various libraries/languages deprecating things! I can't keep up!

You know why I like perl? Because in 25 years I've never had to change my code due to perl changing.

Any chance this is an easy fix as I have a production server I need to put back into service after a full rebuild.

I feel the pain with depreciated functions and most of the time its because they made a new function that's basically the same just with a different name because someone forked it after a disagreement.

That explains things a bit better. My servers are on 20.04 and will stay on that as it's LTS and supported.

I have a 20.04 server that's also suffering from the same issues so its seems to be a little more wide spread than 22.04

I'm on 20.04 and 1.36.16 and it works.

The deprecation message is a PHP8 thing and that's not on 20.04.

Just tried on my 20.04 system that as you've said is PHP7.4 and I get the below error in the logs and as with 22.04 the monitor wont save.
