How to DOWNGRADE 1.32 database to 1.30.4?

[jbg70]

Hi,
new 1.32 has better web interface and some interesting new features, but CPU load went up from 1.2 to 2.6 and it is not really stable.
I have lots of archived events and I tried to restore the 1.32 database into new created db with zm 1.30.4, but zoneminder crashes when start capturing, reporting this error:

Code: Select all

zmc_m1[2241]: ERR [Can't run query: Unknown column 'AnalysisFPS' in 'field list']

Is there any way to roll back database to 1.30.4 without losing archived events?

Thanks.

Solved...

I created a new empty db from 1.30.4, and I restored on it a backup of the db updated by 1.32.
In zm database, in "Monitors" table I changed the Field name "AnalysisFPSLimit" to "AnalysisFPS".
Now version 1.30.4 looks to be working again.

nice work!

I just had to do this myself. I solve the problem in a slightly different way...

I ran zmupdate.pl

it "upgraded" from 1.32 to 1.30.

[root@zoneminder db]# zmupdate.pl

Please ensure that ZoneMinder is stopped on your system prior to upgrading the database.
Press enter to continue or ctrl-C to stop : 

Do you wish to take a backup of your database prior to upgrading?
This may result in a large file in /var/lib/zoneminder/temp if you have a lot of events.

Database upgrade to version 1.30.4 successful.

I did have to rename that one Monitors column too though... I think this was the sql command I used:

alter Table `Monitors` change column `AnalysisFPSLimit` `AnalysisFPS` decimal(2,5);

Thanks.

Did you look at all into *why* the CPU load increased? My observation with regards to 1.32 is that it defaults to using x264 encoding to store videos, whereas 1.30 used jpeg exclusively. This could result in a significant change in CPU load, but can be reset to 1.30 behavior in the storage tab of the monitor configuration page. I don't know if that change is automatically applied on an upgrade, or if it is just for newly created monitors.

Hi,

Just wanted to say thank you for the suggestions here on how to downgrade. My upgrade from 1.30.4 to 1.32 didn't end well – with web related errors that I could properly fixed but also my monitors kept stopping and staying stopped which had never happened in the older version. Fortunately etckeeper had kept my previous configuration in /etc and I found a copy of the older install package here – https://www.hoelzle.net/zoneminder-1-30 ... -mit-lamp/. The alter table command above managed to fix my database to be compatible with the older version (although it should be decimal(5,2) not decimal (2,5)). The only other thing I had to fix was in passing the options and now my system is working again.

In case it's any use to anyone, here are my syslog entries that might be relevant to the problem of the monitor stopping.

I upgraded at 4:27 PM and the first monitor stopping problem occurred at about 5 PM. Most of the individual ZMA/ZMC logs appear to be zero bytes at the moment for today so I don't have any information from those logs, but the ZMDC log seems to indicate it was trying to restart the monitor and failing. Here is a sample
