v1.28.1 to v1.28.105 upgrade cannot see monitors [RESOLVED]

v1.28.1 to v1.28.105 upgrade now cannot see monitors/recordings

Both of my servers are using the zmrepo, one server is CentOS 6 64bit and the other is CentOS 7 64 bit. Both with same fault.

They are definitely recording ok as I have an email filter that emails a frame when there is movement on the driveway camera.

It is literally just viewing the monitor / recordings. Tried Firefox, Chrome and the Zm View app on Android. All blank.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Zoneminder 1.28.105 is a development snapshot and is in the new testing repo, which hasn't been officially announced yet.
Welcome to the bleeding edge.
Note that you should not be using this on a production system.

Further troubleshooting is not possible until you show real data regarding your system, such as the content of your log files.

No probs, Got it through the repo and didn't know it was a development repo.. Do prefer development though

Logs are:

Don't think its anything there causing the issue. I remember having this same issue many years ago where it stopped playback.. but is definitely recording
and i can even view the events in the mini show time line screen. Just cannot see the monitor live or view recordings.

ahhhh think it was down to paths!!! /cgi-bin-zm/nph-zms streaming server? Has this changed in the latest repo update?

[chrisn0123]

Eeee Fixed!!!

Was the path!!

Changed PATH_ZMS to /cgi-bin-zm/zms

Thanks!!

That happens to be the very first item documented in the current CentOS 7 README:

1. The Apache ScriptAlias has been changed from "/cgi-bin/zm/zms" to
"/cgi-bin-zm/zms". This has been to done to avoid this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=973067

IMPORTANT: ZoneMinder will not update this value during an upgrade. You must
manually update ZM_PATH_ZMS yourself under Options. This does not affect
new installs.

It might seem like I'm beating you over the head with this, but there is a good reason behind it.

There are more changes like this to come, and if you don't read the README then you will be back here in the forum with a broken system. Reading the documentation is win-win for both of us. You get a better experience, and I don't have to stop developing to answer common questions.

This is also why I have not officially announced the testing repository. I have not finished writing a new README, which will document new changes ....which you will read, right?

[chrisn0123]

Will read the README each time it is update from now on then!
I only read it during original install lol! only have read changelog since!

Cheers and keep up the great work with it.. fantastic program!
