Camera Page Constantly Reloads - No Image

Post by ss32 »

###############################################

Edit: This was solved and came back, and then solved again. See post 5.

###############################################

Fresh install of 1.32.3 on Ubuntu Server 18.04 following this guide

I'm able to view the stream in VLC with no issues, and when testing yesterday on a docker container running 1.33.1 everything worked great. /dev/shm is only at 5% use and this is the only camera I have enabled. The camera is a WyzeCam v2 running the Xiaomi-Dafang firmware.

I do see an error in the logs

Code: Select all

Socket /var/run/zm/zms-886903s.sock 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/latest/faq.html#why-can-t-i-see-streamed-images-when-i-can-see-stills-in-the-zone-window-etc for more information.
But I also see that the camera is streaming....

Has the "Paths" page been removed from the options? It seems to be missing in my console.

And there is a socket in /var/run/zm but of a different name than the one in the logs

Code: Select all

# ll /var/run/zm
total 8

I have found ZM_PATH_ZMS in /etc/zm/conf.d/01-system-paths.conf and changed it to reflect the location of nph-zms

Code: Select all

# locate nph-zms
/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms
But I'm still seeing the same errors in the logs.

edit: Per the comment here - https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminde ... t-62621247 - the path needs to be relative to the webroot. I have tried

Code: Select all

/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms
/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms
/cgi-bin/nph-zms
as well with no luck.

Solved:

Reinstalled everything from scratch, using only the LAMP stack. I think something got crossed when I installed previously and I had some weird hybrid of LAMP/LEMP.

For posterity, from a fresh install of 18.04 server:

Code: Select all

apt update;apt upgrade -y; apt install openssh-server -y
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1,32
apt update
apt install zoneminder
cp /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
     L40: sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
systemctl restart mysql
systemctl enable zoneminder.service
adduser www-data video
systemctl start zoneminder.service
a2enmod cgi
a2enmod rewrite
a2enconf zoneminder
vi /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini
	L939: date.timezone = America/Chicago
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
service apache2 restart
