ZoneMinder Forums

Just seeing if anyone has had a chance to try this out, or have any ideas on what might be encountered. I have backordered one to arrive in august - so if nobody has tried by then, i can pave the way I reckon.

Thanks bbunge. I had visited that link before and though mine differed slightly, everything worked except for streaming events - as described in my original post. That said, i went ahead and took the exact config in the link provided for nginx and applied it to mine, only adjusting for the fact that ...

Thanks for that link. I think i've already read that one, but it is good information and essentially what i've done. So here is what i've done so far, hopefully it helps others, or even better someone can tell me how to improve upon this: Setup Active zones on doors and windows Setup preclusive ...

is there a reason your zoneminder is using debian-sys-maint user instead of zmuser? Does the user/pass configured in /etc/zm/zm.conf allow you to login using mysql client manually from command line? mysql -u zmuser -pzmpass or mysql -u debian-sys-maint -pzmpass are you using debian-sys-maint to ...

Might need more info. Did you not have authentication set before the upgrade? If so, it should've remained set. If not, is there a reason you chose to set it up (i think its a good idea, just curious - especially if you're using api). Are there more to the logs than the lines you've pruned? They ...

I have searched extensively to try and find the root of the issue. I can manually scp the files from the zoneminder machine /var/cache/zoneminder/events directory and the videos play. At first i thought it may have been an issue with events saving mp4 in the wrong directory and the event viewer not ...

Great question, i too am very interested. I thought the 4 had already released though? Just backordered most places. Please let me know how it goes if you do so. I know most people were getting decent enough performance on the 3 with 2 cameras, but the 4 significantly improved with moving nic off ...

I was trying to use preclusive zones to limit alarms for when people leave or walk about the house, has anyone done this? For example, should they walk from the living room to the bathroom, and cross the front door zone, i would not like it to alarm. Likewise, should someone leave the house, i would ...

thank you @bbunge and @knight-of-ni, I have finally figured out what the issue is. fcgiwrap was indeed not starting properly and I failed to see that in the syslog. The error was: fcgiwrap[23674]: /usr/sbin/fcgiwrap: invalid option -- ' ' fcgiwrap[23674]: Unknown option `- '. fcgiwrap.service: Main ...

i guess ill just have to bite the bullet and go to apache on a separate port to run zoneminder. Not sure what else i can do here.

Sorry for the delay, I had gone out of town for a few days. Anyway, back to respond to this. thank you for taking some time here Knight. 1. Value of PATH_ZMS was currently /zm/cgi-bin/zms due to me having tried multiple things. I see that when looking at the /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms that ...

Hate to simply bump the thread - but I'm really hoping to get this figured out. I am considering switching to apache, but I already have several services running under nginx and a proxy. Long story short, I'd rather spend that time debugging ZoneMinder than switching to apache until the issue is ...

further, if you have any sneaking suspicions and can point me in a direction, i can attempt to further troubleshoot - just as it is i've hit a wall.

Well, it sure is a relief to know its not just me, i've tried all kinds of things. Let me know if there is anything i can do to help, any kind of debug logging to enable or anything like that.

thanks

I've modified nginx to match that, though I dont know how that would help since it appears the config is loading OK. Anyway, went ahead and matched that exactly to rule it out. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled zoneminder by doing the following: sudo apt-get remove zoneminder wget --no-check ...
