Will there be a PPA for Ubuntu 22.04 jammy jellyfish? I'm currently on the Beta with zoneminder 1.36.12 and it is having some difficulties with PHP 8.1.

It will happen when it happens!

I am glad you have the time to experiment with beta versions. In my opinion Ubuntu has become a pain and I seem to get better performance with Debian.

Ubuntu 22.04 has now officially been released on 4/21. This is a long term release that replaces 20.04. Do we have a zoneminder release that will support 22.04? I'm currently on 1.36 but it has some problems on 22.04. What should I be running? 1.37 maybe?

I would stay on 1.36 unless you like the bleeding edge and things not working.

If you look on Slack you can see Isaac is looking at this. I’ll be holding on 20.04 for a while yet.

I'm currently on 1.36.12, but it will not update past this level because of PHP8.1. Even on 1.36.12 I get errors about functions that have been deprecated. If I try to manually update to 1.36.14, I get The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zoneminder : Depends: php-apc but it is not installable or
php-apcu-bc but it is not installable

That is why I was looking for a repository for the new Ubuntu release.

There is currently no working build.

PPA for ubuntu 22.04 jammy is now working. Thank you.

Having stupidly just done an "upgrade" without checking everything was going to be OK I found that 1.36.x no longer worked in Ubuntu 22.04 .

I now find that all's well again now the jellyfish PPA has been updated. Massive thanks to @iconnor for the work, It's much appreciated.

I know this isn't necessarily the right place to mention this, but if you're using zmeventserver you may need to re-install the perl dependencies
with

Code: Select all

sudo perl -MCPAN -e "install Crypt::MySQL"
sudo perl -MCPAN -e "install Config::IniFiles"
sudo perl -MCPAN -e "install Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt"

to have the event server working again. Happened to me, so mentioned here for anyone left scratching their heads!

Crap! I decided to perform an in-place upgrade (do-release-upgrade) to upgrade from Ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04, and after re-enabling the repositories, I can no longer access my web interface. It appears to have started but I can't access it. I checked the status of the zoneminder.service.

How can I get my web interface back?

Verify database and apache are running.

I'm not seeing anything that looks to be an error to me...

I'm currently stumped. So far, everything I've thought to check appears normal, yet I can't see anything when I go to the web interface.

Posted: **Thu May 19, 2022 5:24 am**

Just focus on Apache, as you don’t need ZM to see the web interface. What do you get when you visit the page?

Posted: **Thu May 19, 2022 10:21 pm**

I have a feeling that the problem is somehow in the Apache2 setup but can't quite put my finger on it. I was looking through my /var/log/apache2/error.log and it is full of errors. I have done a little "sanitizing" to the log and just showing a snippet, but here is some of the log file that I hope someone could explain why I'm seeing.

NOTES: While the timestamp is likely irrelevant, I trimmed away the day of the week, month, date, and hour to reduce the line width a bit.... I could have probably trimmed the entire thing. I was seeing my router's LAN address and changed it to just say <router-ip>.

Is nph-zms at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nph-zms?

Or is it at /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms?

Thanks for bearing with me as I traveled down the wormhole trying to figure out what went wrong.

As to the question of "nph-zms", I saw that the file did not exist in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ but it did existed as a symbolic link in /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/, linking to a file in the same folder called "zms". Not knowing if it was supposed to be in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, I created another symbolic link in that folder, again pointing to "zms" in /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/.

This didn't immediately fix anything, so I knew the main problem lay elsewhere. I again looked through the /var/log/apache2/error.log and noticed the following:

Code: Select all

[proxy:error] [pid 1454265] (2)No such file or directory: AH02454: FCGI: attempt to connect to Unix domain socket /run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock (*)

I decided to look up what was in "/run/php" and noticed that it only referred to php8.1, nothing with php8.0. That is when it dawned on me what the issue was. Upon upgrading from 21.10 to 22.04, PHP had changed from PHP8.0 to PHP8.1 but when I looked in my /etc/apache2/conf-available/ folder, I saw both "php8.0-fpm.conf" and "php8.1-fpm.conf". In /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ I saw "php8.0-fpm.conf". This was the heart of the problem. I fixed it by the following:

Code: Select all

sudo a2disconf php8.0-fpm.conf
sudo a2enconf php8.1-fpm.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2

Now, the web interface is working well. Zoneminder has been working in the background, recording activities, it just couldn't be accessed via the web interface; now it can. I'm not a complete idiot, just sometimes I need nudges in the right direction. I'm hoping that if anyone else has this problem, they will have an easier time finding the problem now.
