ZoneMinder Forums

After hours and hours to try..nothing....this button doesn't work.
A lot of search on web...but the problem still remain.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance

The only suggestion I have it to make sure you are logged in as Admin, and that Admin has permissions for that function.

Ok, login as "admin" with "admin" password default....but still "add new monitor" disable....still after service zoneminder restar

Pretty sure the only code controlling enable/disable on that button is Users permissions. Disable OPT_USE_AUTH in options system to confirm it is a permissions issue, see if that works. If it does then check your accounts permissions in the Users tab of options, needs to have Monitors = Edit permissions.

I doubt this is a version issue, but 1.28.1 has lots of changes on 1.26.x

I'm using raspberry pi 2..how can update to 1.28?

Maybe it's really a problem related authorization.
I installed zoneminder as "pi" user but I can log in only as "admin". This user in zoneminder has not permission to "add new monitor" or create a new user.
So I can't create a new user call "pi".
How can I change user permission by command line?

I was having the same problem on RPi with a fresh installation of Rasbpian Jessie. I finally realized that none of the buttons or functions in the ZM web interface that were javascript-based were working, and this led me to a fix that worked (for me).

I enabled the common javascript directory in the Apache configuration:
Then restarted Apache and Zoneminder:
Not sure why this step isn't included in the wiki instructions for installing zoneminder on Raspbian. Hope it helps!

Worked for me too! Thank you so very much. Great solution.
