Can not log in web interface

[stackbit]

I did it. And still I am having the login problem...

[stackbit]

I tried reinstalling the apache and mysql packages as sugested but still couldn't login.

Tried then to redo it but with

apt-get install apache.... -t testing

after that I ran

/usr/sbin/apache-modconf apache

and restarted apache /etc/init.d/apache restart

just to be sure that everything was clean.

And voilá, could login again...

The problem really is in the apache mysql unstable packages, revert to testing to solve it.

[lazyleopard]

Hmmm... May work for Debian, but not for Gentoo. Do you know exactly which versions of things like mysql, apache, and php you're using, and any particular compile-time options?

Gentoo's just about to push mysql 4.1.14 to stable. Apparently the conversion process from 4.0.25 (which I'm using at present) isn't entirely transparent...

[stackbit]

I believe this should do it... Refer to testing packages

This package provides the PHP4 module for the Apache 1.3 webserver (as

with Apache 2.0, you probably want libapache2-mod-php4 instead.

PHP4 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
generated pages quickly.

Description: Video security camera monitoring and analysis tool
ZoneMinder is intended for use in single or multi-camera video
security applications, including theft prevention and child or
family member or home monitoring and other care scenarios. It
supports capture, analysis, recording, and monitoring of video
data coming from one or more video or network cameras attached
to a Linux system. ZoneMinder also support web and semi-automatic
control of Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras using a variety of protocols.

I got it to work!

Reading the user comments on this page from PHP.net I realized there might be something wrong with the way ZoneMinder is handling cookies. This was evident from setting $debug = true in zm.php and getting an error like:

Code: Select all

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder/zm.php:29) in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder/zm.php on line 150

I commented out the session_start(); on line 150 and instead just threw it up to line 2 instead. I was able to login! Of course, I still got a ton of other warnings after logging in.

Code: Select all

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder/zm.php:29) in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder/zm_html_view_console.php on line 36

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder/zm.php:29) in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder/zm_html_view_console.php on line 40

But I know I'm on the right track. I'll leave it to the maintainers to figure out where the session_start(); calls need to be placed in the code. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release of ZoneMinder.

I can at least start using ZoneMinder!

Thanks to everyone for the help they have given on this problem.

[zoneminder]

I think what you are seeing is that all the header sending functions are failing as they must emit their output before any other content is served. This they normally do but when you put debug on they don't. So they are warning you about it.

I don't know, yet, why this should make any difference to whether you can log in or not though.

[zherebet]

Confirmed FIX on my end:

Followed merced's instructions, commented out the session_start() in zm.php on line 150 and moved session_start to the the 24th line (right after import_request_variables("CGP");

Turn off debugging - and voila! Log-in works!

Thank's merced!

[zoneminder]

Thanks to Rick (aka lazyleopard) I've been able to spend a bit of time on this and I now know why the problem occurs. What I don't know is why it only occurs on php 4.4 but that's another issue.

The 'official' fix for this is to change the line

Code: Select all

setcookie( "format", $format );

at the bottom of zm.php to

Code: Select all

setcookie( "format", $format );
setcookie( "cookies", $cookies );

for now.

However I expect to modify this somewhat for 1.21.4. I _think_ this should work and not break any other functionality but I won't consider this issue closed until I've heard confirmations that the problem no longer occurs, and I've tested it on other versions of php to make sure it doesn't create any new problems!

Phil

[zoneminder]

I forgot to mention that you should remove all existing cookies once before trying to log in again. After that you should be ok.

Phil

[zherebet]

That fix works on my end as well (php 4.4.0) - what was the problem?

[sekuz]

Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.8 PHP/5.0.5 DAV/2 mod_perl/2.0.1 Perl/v5.8.7

It's work!!!! Thanks.

[merced]

That fix seems to work for me. Now I just have to figure out how to set up my Axis 205 to work with ZoneMinder.

[jameswilson]

if you want to start a new thread on your 205 as i have 6 206 running great

sekuz,
Just curious if you had to enable the compatibility for zend 1 engine in your php 5?
