problem after upgrade accessing cgi-bin URL

Post by Mozart »

Hi,

I upgraded zm from 1.32 to 1.34 and that went well. Only thing is that the following entry on a webpage does not work anymore:

Code: Select all

 http://zm05.home.intra/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&maxfps=5&monitor=6&user=user&pass=pass
This used to work without a problem but not anymore. I saw on the documentation that there is a new way with a auth code but that code expires and is not useful when you want to include a stream on a webpage.

If I open the url in a browser I get http error 403.

The api does work I think because I use zmNinja and that still works.
How can I troubleshoot this or is there a different way to get the same result?

Update:
I installed a new Zoneminder 1.34 on Ubuntu 18 and there it does work. Now I have two options:
1. Find the difference between the two
2. Migrate all cams, users and settings from the old to the new server

Do not think the issue is related to API.
I use this code for a camera wall:
<html>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">
<body>
<p>Backyard</p>
<img src="http://192.168.50.2/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms? ... 1579444465">
</body>
</html>
Actually I use two cams but just show one. I enabled OPT_USE_AUTH with AUTH_RELAY of None. Created a user with password with View Stream only. Logged in as that user, opened a monitor, right clicked on the video stream, selected view image and used that URL for the img src=
The "user" did not have API enabled.
Maybe the resulting URL changed when you upgraded?

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with Mariadb Server and Zoneminder 1.34.0 (fresh install). Am also using this same method on a Pi 3b+ with Buster and ZM 1.33.16.

I tried that as well but just does not work. I also did a compare of the Apache config files but could not find a difference.

Works for me.
I no longer work on zmNinja, zmeventnotification, pyzm or mlapi. I may respond on occasion based on my available time/interest.

Please read before posting:

These are the settings of the system that does not work:

I see no difference in options so it must be something else.

That solved it for me and since it is an internal system I don’t mind but it should also work with hashed anyway.

As I stated earlier the OP's issue was not with the API.

Make sure you have the latest ZmNinja. Make sure you have enabled the API for the ZmNinja user.

That’s correct, zmNinja works on both systems.

has this been fixed? Or is the only way to make this work is to turn of Auth_hashing?
