same here [checked with latest Firefox and Chrome on Linux].

+ all archived Events are being deleted!

To fix it, you might just need to restart your apache webserver, as the apache conf file was changed.

A.

[The archived Events however are gone - unless you have a backup]

no this is not normal. It appears to be a problem with the /www/zoneminder/cache directory which in turn is an Alias or symlink to /var/cache/zoneminder/cache

you may need to enable the new zoneminder.conf in /etc/apache2/conf-avialable and restart Apache

in the new zoneminder.conf the /var/cache/zoneminder/cache is declared and Alias defined.

Something along these lines worked for me. I'm not too hot with Apache and messed with a few things. At some point it started working... lol

For me,
the only issue now is , Force Alarm inside monitor page and fps count , not working!

Force Alarm does not do anything, and fps just displaying "- fps"!
My cams are all with Remote method , if it has to do with fps count!
In the main page fps per cam is working , but kbps displaying 0!
Kbps with FFMPEG method, is working!

Thank u!

I have run across this exact error also. Although on occasion in the right moment of the page refresh it will suddenly activate an event.

my fps indicator often reads 1001fps or null and most of the time I can not force an alarm through the console. And zmtrigger.pl is not running smoothly yet for me so using something like this

Code: Select all

echo "1|on+60|123|test||" | telnet localhost 6802
is not working

Hi rockedge,

I have the same problem with my Zoneminder 1.32.2 installation on Ubuntu 14.04 (update frome ZM 1.30.4); all icons in the web interface of ZM are not present.

However the solution you proposed doesn't work for me.

The problem persists even enabling zoneminder.conf (perhaps already enabled) and restarting apache (or rebooting Ubuntu).

I see that directory /var/cache/zoneminder/cache is present with correct write permissions for www-data:www-data, but I see that it is always completely empty.

Can you suggest any other possible solution to this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Regards

check and see if there is a symlink /usr/share/zoneminder/www/cache with a target /var/cache/zoneminder/cache present

No, the symlink wasn't present; its declaration solved the problem!

Thank you very much!

Confirm, symbolic link works. Version 1.34.16 ZM on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS running NGINX, MySQL, php7.3-fpm

Just clarify any misconceptions on how the the link should be targeted, because the previous message seemed to have it backwards....

SYMBOLIC LINK TARGET:
<SOURCE> /var/cache/zoneminder/cache/
<LINK_NAME> /usr/share/zoneminder/www/

Therefore the command that works is:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /var/cache/zoneminder/cache/ /usr/share/zoneminder/www/
This drops a symbolic link (a folder) right in the www root directory of ZoneMinder. Restart everything, and reload the webpage and now everything looks exactly how it should appear. All the buttons are in place and the web interface formatting appears correct.

Now to test adding cameras.
