Unrecoverable error:Invalid URL '/host/getVersion.json': No schema supplied. Perhaps you meant http:///host/getVersion.j

[ArloEardley]

HI guys

I am most of the way through my setup of the event server bur for the life of me I can't figure out where the zm_detect.py is trying to pull the host url from. In the code (zmpy scripts) it appears to be ml_gateway or apiurl I think. Some config somewhere is missing and it doesn't seem to pull through the https://someip/zm/api into the config when I try to test if the object detection is working on an event from zone minder. Anyone know what config I am missing?

[tsp84]

Objectconfig.ini

'api_portal' and 'portal' options which are set as secrets by default (secrets are configured as !<secret name>)

So either remove the default options of
portal=!ZM_PORTAL
api_portal=!ZM_API_PORTAL

and hardcore the url there or you can leave the secret token there and edit secrets.ini and to set the value of the secret tokens.

ZM_PORTAL=<zm portal url>
ZM_API_PORTAL=<zm API portal>

I am afraid this is not it. Is it perhaps an apache2 problem? Here are my secrets and objectconfig.ini to reference.

Sorry for bumping an old thread up, but did you ever resolve this issue ?

Like yourself I am getting the following error running zm_detect.py

]

I have double checked that I have changed the secrets.ini file to include my URL's and can confirm that zm_detect is reading from the config files.

But now at a loss to where to troubleshoot.

Thanks

Does your ZM API work when you test it?

Does your ZM API work when you test it?

Yes,

Code: Select all

curl  -X POST -d "user=****&pass=********" http://localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json
{"version":"1.36.33","apiversion":"2.0"}

[Magic919]

Ok. So there's something in your ZMES that is failing to pass on the http/https part of your ZM API URL. Whether it's specific to your version or environment, I don't know.

Thanks for looking. Is there anything I can do to help to troubleshoot this ?

[Magic919]

Can't think of anything. Haven't ever seen the solution for it. I can only suggest trying different version to see what happens.

You could try the Slack channel.

Thanks again, I will head over to the Slack channel and see if they can help

I'm not an expert with zmes yet, but post the output of

Code: Select all

sudo -u www-data /var/lib/zmeventnotification/bin/zm_detect.py --config /etc/zm/objectconfig.ini  --eventid # --monitorid # --debug

and that might give more information. Also check the config files as mentioned above by tsp.

Just by looking at the error, you can tell it's still seeing the default host/api url somewhere, so look around to see where it is pulling that from. Obviously it's not reading the secrets or objectconfig.ini for some reason (cache? misplaced config file? path? etc)
