ZM v 1.32.0 Trashed After Upgrading to Ubuntu v 18.04

[bbunge]

While I have not done an OS upgrade with ZM 1.32.x the issue is likely the same as with 1.30.x going from 16.04 to 18.04. 18.04 uses PHP 7,2 so you may need to make the necessary changes to /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini.

Hi.

The only thing I can find for php edits is the timezone. Am I missing something else for the php 7.2 updates?

thanks,
Geoff

Should be it. But you may want to check to see if the prior version of PHP is still there If it is remove it. Then if you are still having issues run a force install of Zoneminder from the PPA.

Some of the issues I experienced when installing ZM 1.32.3 with php 7 were fixed by installing php-fpm and fcgiwrap and enabling the appropriate modules in apache, but the problem of the web interface only ever showing STOPPED is one I'm still having. Clearly the web interface can't talk to the system well enough to determine whether ZM is running or not, though, of course, it can find out stuff from the database. Presumably I still have some bits of server configuration missing, but I've not found them yet...

The other main issue I'm having is described in the thread titled Capture frames and live video - Debian stretch.
