Just upgraded from ZM 1.30.x to 1.32.x, nothing works

Post by tedukes »

followed the instructions here: https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... rpm-fusion

to upgrade ZM. Installation and upgrade successful but nothing works! Click on a button, nothing happens. Click on a DVR functions, nothing happens. I can view events but I cannot FF, delete, etc.

What a mess!!

Failure to complete upgrade step 3 of the README correctly will result in a mess:
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminde ... httpd#L139

The documentation you referenced presents multiple ways to install or upgrade zoneminder. Which path did you choose?? Did you build your own package or something else?

Exactly what version of ZoneMinder did you upgrade to? Be specific. 1.32.what? It matters.

What distro are you running?

Thanks!!

The file. zoneminder.httpd.conf appears to be corrupt. I see nothing but garbage when I open it with a text editor. A file zoneminder.httpd.conf.rpmnew does not exist.

The version I upgraded to is 1.32.3. It was installed with rpmfusion via yum update.

There is something broken on the pages. I'm seeing stuff like account_circle admin, network_check.

That means the new apache config is not loaded, which is exactly what upgrade step 3 addresses.
You need to symlink the config file into place.

If the contents of the config file are corrupted, try reinstalling the package.

If that does not work, you can manually download the rpmfile from rpmfusion:
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el ... httpd.html

An rpm file is just a tarball. You can extract the contents like any other tarball. Extract the contents to a temporary folder then manually copy the file zoneminder.httpd.conf from the temporary folder to /etc/zm/www/. Don't forget to symlink it to /etc/httpd/conf.d

Thanks,

I downloaded the zoneminder-http package and extracted the zoneminder.httpd.conf file, crated the symlink and restarted httpd and zm.

Everything seems to work now!!
