API configuration issues

[bforcier]

Hello,
I recently upgraded to 1.29 and am trying to setup the API for use with zmnija. I followed the guide posted on the wiki for apache and zm configuration but I can't get the app to talk to the API. When I do http://serverip/zm/api: I get "The requested URL /zm/api was not found on this server."

http://serverip/zm/api/host/getVersion.json I don't see anything. I actually don't even have a host folder in my api directory.

Everything in /usr/share has the same user/owner (www-data). My apache2.conf has entries described on the wiki. Not sure what else I could be missing.

Thanks

How exactly did you upgrade? Which guide did you follow?

[bforcier]

I removed with purge, autoremove, and cleared the zm database then followed this:

https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

If you followed that guide verbatim and are sure you did not miss steps, then the Api parh should be server/zm/api not server/api as you wrote below?

I removed with purge, autoremove, and cleared the zm database then followed this:

Yes. Sorry about that http://serverip/zm/api is what was configured (edited in original) this returns 404.

I'm trying by your steps:

Code: Select all

root@stk-video-01:/etc/apache2# a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled

root@stk-video-01:/etc/apache2# cat /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/.htaccess
cat: /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/.htaccess: No file or directory is found

root@stk-video-01:/etc/apache2# cat /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule    ^$    webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) webroot/$1    [L]
    RewriteBase /zm/api
</IfModule>

root@stk-video-01:/etc/apache2# cat /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/webroot/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
    RewriteBase /zm/api
</IfModule>


root@stk-video-01:/etc/apache2# cat /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf
# Remember to enable cgi mod (i.e. "a2enmod cgi").

Are you sure you did

sudo a2enmod rewrite
edit: looks like you already did it

How exactly did you upgrade?

[asker]

Hmm, looks like your .htaccess file is missing in api/ - not sure how you upgraded

Try this:

Code: Select all

cp /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/.htaccess /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/.htaccess

[Zenw1e]

Thanx, i tried to

Code: Select all

root@stk-video-01:/etc/apache2# cp /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/.htaccess /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/.htaccess

then try to open.
I have no upgrade to 1.29.0
Clear install was be with 1.29.0 version.

Thanx a lot, asker!
I have solved my problem.
Problem was in file:

Code: Select all

root@stk-video-01:/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api# cat /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule    ^$   /webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) /webroot/$1    [L]
    RewriteBase /zm/api
</IfModule>

In this case API doesn't work. But i turn on my other ZM server and make:

Code: Select all

root@stk-video-01:/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api# cat /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule    ^$   app/webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1    [L]
    RewriteBase /zm/api
</IfModule>

Then, i corrected my /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/.htaccess file and paste "app", reload apache2 and GOOD!
THANX!
