I know this is a really basic question, and maybe it's just as I've had a rough week, but I can't find where the API URL is being got for the following failures:

I've checked all the config files and ensure they're changed, but I'm still getting this error.

For a bit of background, I moved a lot of the stuff hosted on that server to nginx last week and moved apache to a different port, so need to change the zone minder portal to 127.0.0.1:5557 instead of just 127.0.0.1

Thanks in advance.

There is an explanation here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/API#Troubleshooting

What you need to know is that the api is NOT at /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api but in fact is located at

/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/webroot

Maybe the redirect rules in the web server config are broken?

I think we're talking about different things.

Somewhere in one of the configs (that I can't find) the api portal is listed as "127.0.0.1/zm". I need to change this to "127.0.0.1:5557/zm", but I can't find where this is configured.

Sorry, I didn't read closely enough. Reading the error again, it looks like a ZMES misconfiguration. Try the ZMES secrets.ini file. That has ZM_PORTAL, ZM_API_PORTAL, and ZMES_PICTURE_URL. On my system that file is in /etc/zm.

Ah you legend!

I was sure I did check the secrets file, and I *did*. I forgot I had a broken install in this that was abandoned and that's the secret ini that I must have been editing. Thanks for the correct lcoation!!! Working now
