Good time of the day

I'm so sorry for rising so many topics and questions. Just want to deploy at least simple working service. So... currently, I have Ubuntu 16.04 and ZM 1.31.44. Everything was installed from scratch, and also I applied that fix for apache2. Now my UI looks good, and I have no errors in the logs, I see that ZM see my cameras. Like I see FPS, bitrate, etc. BUT, when I'm trying to open stream - it doesn't show me anything. Like a place where I should see the stream from the camera - is blank.
Please, could you advise me whats wrong? What should I check? Thanks!

P.S. my cameras works 100% because I'm able to see stream using VLC. But FFmpeg nor libvlc doesn't work for me.

Strongly recommend going to Zoneminder 1.30.4. Anything beyond that version is in development and can have issues. True, you may not have your cameras configured correctly and as far as I know there is no patch required for Apache.

Thanks bbunge!

Yep, I understand that it is dev version. Cameras work well and configured OK because ZM 1.30.4 see them.
I'm talking about layout "patch" which was introduced by "iconnor" . See viewtopic.php?f=37&t=27204

Could you point me what logs you're expecting to see from me? Because in the "Logs" tab (in ZM web UI) there is only one error related to ZM_PATHS.

"getCmdResponse stream error: Socket does not exist. This file is created by zms, and since it does not exist, either zms did not run, or zms exited early. Please check your zms logs and ensure that CGI is enabled in apache and check that the PATH_ZMS is set correctly. Make sure that ZM is actually recording. If you are trying to view a live stream and the capture process (zmc) is not running then zms will exit. Please go to http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... window-etc for more information. - checkStreamForErrors()"

But I checked file /etc/zm/conf.d/01-system-path.conf and it says that ZM_PATH_ZMS is set to /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms. Other than that I have no issues.

Yep, but I found topic with the same issue viewtopic.php?t=25955

Seems it is apache bug and actually backslash is present in configuration file

rockedge · Post by **rockedge** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:10 pm

I see......what does your /etc/zm/conf.d look like? I have to place a custom conf file called /etc/zm/conf.d/zmcustom.conf and specify the aliased /cgi-bin

Code: Select all

# /cgi-bin path 
ZM_PATH_ZMS=/cgi-bin/nph-zms

I am throwing out some ideas to get some troubleshooting going

Guys, could you tell me if you need other logs? Maybe the problem is in changed DB password? Like I don't use default one. I changed it everywhere...

Obzerver · Post by **Obzerver** » Mon Aug 06, 2018 9:43 am

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 server
ZoneMinder v1.30.4

According to my experience, PATH_ZMS should be set to the path found in the file zoneminder.conf which is found in /etc/apache2/conf-available, with zms (or nph-zms) appended.
After following the installation instructions for zoneminder, this was not the case. PATH_ZMS was set to /cgi-bin/nph-zms.

zoneminder.conf contained the following in my system.

-- file begins --
# Remember to enable cgi mod (i.e. "a2enmod cgi").
ScriptAlias /zm/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin"
<Directory "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin">
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /zm /usr/share/zoneminder/www
<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
-- file ends --

Note the path following the ScriptAlias directive.

From the ZoneMinder Console page, click "Options" and then the "Paths" tab.
In my case I set PATH_ZMS to /zm/cgi-bin/zms.

Regarding nph-zms vs. zms, on my system nph-zms is just a symlink to zms, so it seems there is no difference.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 9 2017 nph-zms -> zms
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.3M May 9 2017 zms

However, this could change in future versions of ZoneMinder.

I hope this is helpful.
