No server listed in config - socket issues

[dheian]

I upgraded from a 1.2X.X series Zoneminder a few months ago. Currently running 1.32.3.

After the upgrade, the camera was still working, events were still being captured. Could look at stuff from the events page, etc.

However, I noticed a lot of errors like this in the logs:

Code: Select all

getStreamCmdResponse stream error: Socket /var/run/zm/zms-482588s.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.

I went into options to look for the PATH_ZMS setting. I figured it might be in Options>Servers...

I don't have any servers listed. Yet the system is working. But that's where Path to ZMS is set right?

How can it be working ok if I don't have a server configured. Colour me curious.

It falls back to settings in /etc/zm/conf.d/01-system-paths.conf

That file shows:

ZM_PATH_ZMS=/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms

doing a locate on nph-zms shows its location at /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms

Should I change it to that?

[iconnor]

No, that is the correct value.

[dheian]

Then why do I constantly get socket not found errors? Just curious.

Thanks.

There are a lot of possible reasons. Check zms logs. See if zms is even being run. If not, the SCriptAlias line in your apache config is wrong.

It think zms is being run. But that's not as certain as I know I haven't had coffee yet. Looking in the zm log directory, I have a bunch of zms_e* logs and zms_m* logs. The most recent ones have a lot of lines with:

05/07/19 13:17:35.030882 zms_m2[26058].ERR-zm_monitorstream.cpp/423 [Frame send time 12632 msec too slow, throttling maxfps to 4.44]
05/07/19 13:17:35.185414 zms_m2[26058].ERR-zm_monitorstream.cpp/284 [Can't sendto on sd 9: No such file or directory]

Finally, the ScriptAlias line in the zoneminder.conf is:

ScriptAlias /zm/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin"

Thanks.
