Debian 9 1.30.0 ->1.30.4 breaks API

[pgrunwald]

Did the normal

Code: Select all

sudo  apt updatate

and

Code: Select all

 sudo apt upgrade

today and was pleased to see Zoneminder 1.30.4 show up out of backports.

Updated the database with

Code: Select all

sudo zmupdate.pl

and Zoneminder console is working fine.

zmNinja is broken.

Code: Select all

http://my_server/zm/api/host/getVersion.json

gives me a blank page.

Searching I found a thread so I

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install php-apcu php-apcu-bc

no effect

https://my_server/zm/api/monitors.json and events.json gives me

Code: Select all

I thought I would check here before I really broke something trying to fix this!

[rockedge]

dumb question....did you restart Apache after installing php-apcu and php-apcu-bc?

[pgrunwald]

Yea, I have actually rebooted. I think I need a newer version of Crud/Cake that is not in stable. I can't find the plugin.

[rockedge]

anything here that helps?

[pgrunwald]

I was going to try this: https://tecadmin.net/setup-cakephp-3-on-linux/ (step 2)

then this:
https://crud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

When I get some time to mess around.

[SteveGilvarry]

The cake 2 and 3 are not compatible. Generally that missing crud error comes when the git submodule was not included in the source.

[rockedge]

yes the only time I saw this error is when I built ZM from source and forgot the

Code: Select all

git submodule update --init --recursive

so zoneminder would build but API was not operational. With the submodule update ZM builds correctly and the API works.
This I discovered while working with Puppy Linux and ZM.

[pgrunwald]

Who did the backport? Should I file a bug report?

[SteveGilvarry]

If you are missing web/api/app/plugin/crud then I suspect best option is a bug report. I can even see where they have patched the cake build to ignore the submodule check, one would assume they put some other process in place to drop the submodule in. Submodules are more grief than they are worth.

I saw this a few weeks ago in our IRC channel. There is a new zoneminder 1.30.4 deb in the unstable repos.

Rather than use the cake & crud libraries bundled with ZoneMinder, the package maintainer took this code out, and attempted to get ZoneMinder to use cakephp installed as a separate package. Unfortunately, it does not look like they were successful because ZoneMinder can't find the Crud module.

One can see this is the case because the paths in the error message(s) look like:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/php/Cake/Core

rather than:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/zoneminder/api/lib/Cake/Core

The unfortunate thing about this is we aren't going to be of much help since this is something a third party has done.

tldr: yes, you should file a bug report against this pacakge on the debian site if one has not already been created

Oh look at you... you already created it:

Hi guys ! I am using ZM for about one year and am quite happy with it. Got about 20 cam's running on debian(9.1).

Trying to solve why I have no thumbnails in my event-list after upgarding to 1.30.4 ( clean new install ) i found this thread.

The http://my_server/zm/api/host/getVersion.json shows errors like :

Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /usr/share/php/Cake/Cache/Engine/FileEngine.php on line 380
Warning: _cake_core_ cache was unable to write 'cake_dev_de-de' to File cache in /usr/share/php/Cake/Cache/Cache.php on line 327
Warning: /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/tmp/cache/persistent/ is not writable in /usr/share/php/Cake/Cache/Engine/FileEngine.php on line 385
Fatal error: Uncaught CacheException: Cache engine "_cake_core_" is not properly configured. Ensure required extensions are installed, and credentials/permissions are correct in /usr/share/php/Cake/Cache/Cache.php on line 186
CacheException: Cache engine "_cake_core_" is not properly configured. Ensure required extensions are installed, and credentials/permissions are correct in /usr/share/php/Cake/Cache/Cache.php on line 186

Can I assume this is related to the .deb package and cake & crud stuff mentioned above ?

Install the php7-gd. See the wiki for the full Debian 9 install procedure.

[nimoy]

Thanks for your help !

In Debian the package is called php7.0-gd.

"apt-get install php7.0-gd" and "dpkg-reconfigure zoneminder" did the job !

Thanks again !
