Zoneminder nginx issues

Post by Waylorn »

I have a fresh install of zoneminder on linux mint 18.3 (ubuntu 16.04) I have a total of 20 grandstream IP cameras. I am sitting up the monitors with:
rtsp://10.10.10.11/0?tcp using ffmpeg. I had a previous install where this worked without issue. But on this install I get no video.

I used this install guide.
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

The one step I was unable to complete is editing nano /etc/default/fcgiwrap. This file does not exist in my install. So i am unable to change DAEMON_OPTS="-f -c 1"

Log sample.

There are some discovered issues with the NGINX install on Ubuntu 18.04 and now you mention the same issues on 16.04. fcgiwrap is located in another area. In fact it may be in two locations! Have not had time to sort out the changes.

As for your source string you do not need the ?tcp with this version. You still need to change the path in Options.

And you posted to the wrong forum area. Should be in 1.30.x

But, for a good working system switch to Mariadb and Apache on 16.04!

A bit more research reveals that the file nano /etc/default/fcgiwrap is supposed to be an override for the config file located in /etc/init.d/fcgiwrap. My quick test showed that adding DAEMON_OPTS="-f -c 1" to this file stops video streaming on working monitors. However, I am experiencing issues viewing montage with only the first monitor showing. Will keep at it...

Ahhh. I did not know that there were known issues with nginx. I will reinstall using apache. Thanks for your help... I will be back with more questions after the reinstall. I had 20 camera's running and it was pegging out the cpu using 10 FPS using apache. It seems that the install is pretty easy. Getting it to work correctly is the issue.

give Hiawatha a try....easy to configure for ZM... with a URLToolkit that works well with the API.....
https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/

here is an example that works well with Hiawatha 10.8.1 PHP7.2.5, MariaDB and zoneminder 1.30.4 or 1.31.+
