[SOLVED] Web UI, fresh install

[tstrike]

Hey guys,

How has it been? I have ZM on Kubuntu 15.04 (I am really liking systemd, I dont see the fuss).

That said, I did the sym linking of the apache.conf from the 14.10 version... no probs there...

Strangely cannot bring up the web interface, yet systemd shows:

Code: Select all

● zoneminder.service - ZoneMinder CCTV recording and security system
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Sat 2015-07-25 11:26:43 CDT; 1h 15min ago
  Process: 7998 ExecStop=/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 10522 ExecStart=/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 10533 (zmdc.pl)
   CGroup: /system.slice/zoneminder.service
           ├─10533 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/bin/zmdc.pl startup
           ├─11799 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl
           ├─11804 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/bin/zmaudit.pl -c
           └─11808 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/bin/zmwatch.pl

So looks like ZM is installed and working. Checked apache2 oky dokey... made sure cgi-bin and appropriate web directories belong to www-data..

Scratching my head here...

Still no web gui.... I searched the 1.28zm forums...

Thanks in advance


More for consideration:

Still scratching head... Nevermind the costarica designation... this is one of my old boxes I recovered from an old GF

Yeah I did... thats what threw me off...

I have used that guide with another 15.04 server with absolutely no problems...

/var/log/apache2/error.log (assuming that's where it is)?

Have you tried the explicit path http://server/zm/index.php and see what it does? What error (including in the log)?

Can you get to the images (I'm assuming it is collecting some)? Poke through them (maybe /var/lib/zoneminder/events/1/15/07/25/stuff) and when you find them, try http://server/zm/events/path with the same path after the events including the file name. Normally this will retrieve an image, and it does not rely on any running parts of zoneminder only on apache.

My guess would be protections or a path or an errant / in one of the apache setup files.

You guys were right...

Plus I forgot to link in conf-enabled in the apache2 directory.

My fault. Thank you for all your help.

When all else fails...



I have also found that when using a desktop install of Ubuntu it is good to install tasksel then use it to install LAMP.
