Hi Guys,

Since i use SSL / https i can't see the cameras videos anymore. The console works but without these images/videos.

Same thing using zmninja.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

hi,
Linux distro is ubuntu server 16.04 and zm is 1.30.4. All work fine with http requests, problem is with https/ssl.

Thanks for help

Did you delete the port 80 server in Apache? If you did you will have to set all your cameras to use ssl and make the changes in Zoneminder.

this sounds like a configuration issue in the Apache2 configuration files. Check that the config file corresponding to https and port 443 in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled is correct and the proper path to the /cgi-bin/nph-zms is being declared.

You really do not have to do all of that! I gave the OP a link to set up https on Apache. Took me about 5 minutes to do https on my production server with no config changes to Zoneminder.

I used the link you supplied and I was able to also set up https: using this set of instructions. Worked well on Puppy Linux Xenial using Server Version: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP/7.0.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2g mod_perl/2.0.9 Perl/v5.22.1
Server MPM: prefork

Hi,

Yes it works with this link because all the entire site is accessible with ssl. My problem was different:

I tried to keed http/80 opened to access /var/www/html and configure one sites-enabled confile file to
access /usr/share/zoneminder/www trough https only. In this last case, i can access zoneminder with https but
videos did not displayed. when trying to access these videos i get an error message in syslog regarding /cgi-bin/nph-zms. i don't know what to put in the sites-enabled config file . All what i tried was unsuccessful.

You are trying too hard! Get Zoneminder working on a stock Ubuntu system under http (port 80). Then add https to Apache per one of many instructions on the web using a self signed certificate. And voila, you will be able to access Zoneminder on the same box using https://ip-addr/zm with no other changes! Mess with the Apache config or zm config and you could spoil a good install!!!
