Ubuntu 17.04 with Zoneminder 1.30.2

[bbunge]

Zoneminder for Ubuntu 17.04 is now on the PPA!

Use the same instructions as Ubuntu 16.04:

I discovered that the API does not work when you install Zoneminder 1.30.2 on Ubuntu 17.04.
The API does work on Zoneminder 1.30.0 on Ubuntu 17.04 and if you upgrade that to Zoneminder 1.30.2.

Now trying to figure out why...

Same here.

Fresh 17.04 install. ZM install via apt.

When accessing server/zm/api I get a 500 error.

Apache error log shows the following:

Code: Select all

all the folders are 'drwxr-xr-x www-data' (no idea if that's correct...).

Since installing ZM I have changed the admin password from the default.

I've followed the instructions in this thread (manually creating /tmp/cache etc as they weren't there and chmodding) but web still gives 500 and ZMNinja (which prompted all this) still complains it can't find the api.

something perhaps to do with thr URL rewrites involving the directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api and /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app there are important .htaccess files in both these directories that contain the rewrite rules. If these do not work the API will not work. At the moment I am working on getting the API to work running with a Hiawatha v10.5 server and have this problem of internal server errors using the API or can't find the directories. So maybe check if the mod rewrite is functioning. Hope this helps.
