ZoneMinder Forums

So looking at the systemd unit file, it is set to Restart=on-abnormal. Looking at the reference documentation for systemd, I decided to change it to =on-failure. Docs: https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/systemd/systemd.service.5.en.html I did the following: cd /etc/systemd/system/ sudo vim ...

I'm seeing this behavior on Ubuntu 16.04; zoneminder 1.30.4-xenial1. The tail-end of the output of `sudo journalctl -u zoneminder`: Sep 09 22:07:58 skynet-alpha systemd[1]: zoneminder.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1 Sep 09 22:07:58 skynet-alpha zma_m22[19070]: INF [Got signal ...

If you're running on the machine with zoneminder, you can just use `sudo service zoneminder status`. I'm looking into this myself, and would also monitor mysql, as in my case, that has been the source of my downtime. Having not messed with cron jobs, I tend to default to creating upstart jobs ...

I've got a fresh install that is working great (14.04, 1.30.0 debian, whole install is done via Ansible), and recording events fine. As has happened before (always on 1.29), I found streaming was not working. Was getting errors in the logs any time I had streaming window open, like this: zm_auth_err ...

This is happening for me as well! (1.29 as well) I am watching `htop` while doing this (I'm using Ansible). And it actually does stop the zmc processes for a moment, and then they start up again. Even if everything was disabled (16 cameras), I restart Zoneminder, and run my disable script, they all ...

I was able to set up filters like by creating a pared down version of zm_create.sql, and loading it as an additional step (and FYI: it overwrites all existing filters, too). The file I created has the default filter plus a delete unarchived 7day old footage filter. -- MySQL dump 10.13 Distrib 5.6.13 ...

I had the same issue. I ultimately found that setting the timezone to UTC in my /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file was the cause of my issue. Setting it to America/Los/Angeles (where I am) fixed it after restarting (just) apache2 service. I should have tried this earlier, as I've seen reference to this ...

As a somewhat horrible workaround, I guess I can use mysql to insert filters, using /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql as a guide. Since I'm using Ansible, I might even just fix the version at 1.29 and include a modified zm_create.sql for use in install. (And this would also work for adding ...

I am working my way through an automated setup of a zoneminder server. It looks like there is no API for setting up Filters. Is this correct, and are there any plans to add this in the future?

Thanks!

Thanks folks. I did end up fixing this by re-installing zoneminder from scratch.

(Really, i should update the API docs myself, since I've been doing a bunch of stuff using them)

These examples should *really* be in the docs. Thanks asker!

I noticed that I had php5 installed on the new one (i believe i Installed that prior to looking at the tutorial more closely). I apt-get purged that, and the output of `dpkg -l php5*` is now identical on both machines.

Also note that the new machine is basically a fresh install of ubuntu

I've been using a zoneminder 1.29 for a few months on a computer, and am setting up a new computer with it. I've got the new computer's install working, but cannot get the API to work. Ubuntu 14.04. Installed from the iconnor ppa OPT_USE_API is set to true (and restarted Zoneminder and apache ...
