fine. ZM Ninja integration too.

thanks

Fine release. Faster and less memory consuming than 1.36.31. Excellent work.
Only repeating message in logs:

Can't execute. Unknown column 'StartTime' in 'field list'

related to zmaudit.pl, no line number.
In the database the field is StartDateTime. Should I correct the file, or I will break it?

[iconnor]

zmaudit.pl shouldn't contain any references to StartTime anymore... Are you sure it's coming from zmaudit.pl ?

Also you shouldn't really need to run zmaudit unless cleaning up after a crash...

Hi

Sorry I can't copy more lines. The selection gets cleared before I can hit Ctl-C. This is a fresh installation, Ubuntu server 22.04, MySQL 8, php 8 and Zoneminder 1.36.32. RUN_AUDIT is checked in options. Anyway, it appears to have solved by itself. But memory use is rising again. System is 12 cores in two Xeon @ 1.7GHz, 64GB RAM, 26 TB of RAID 1E storage. Recording 27 IP cameras @ 1280x720 resolution and 20 fps. After three or four hours it reaches 90% of memory use

[iconnor]

Turn off zmaudit.

[mconfortino]

Done!

I'm coming back to work on my docker container and when trying to update the container, I am now running into an api issue. The debug message is:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function apc_fetch() in /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/Cache/Engine/ApcEngine.php:91 Stack trace: #0 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php(363): ApcEngine->read() #1 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/I18n/I18n.php(235): Cache::read() #2 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/basics.php(636): I18n::translate() #3 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php(182): __d() #4 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php(151): Cache::_buildEngine() #5 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Config/core.php(375): Cache::config() #6 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/Core/Configure.php(72): include('/usr/share/zone...') #7 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/bootstrap.php(442): Configure::bootstrap() #8 /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/webroot/index.php(102): include('/usr/share/zone...') #9 {main} thrown in /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/Cache/Engine/ApcEngine.php on line 91

I haven't done an update for well over a year and I'd like to get things going again. Can someone offer what I am missing?

[Magic919]

Probably PHP-APCU.

[iconnor]

Hey dlandon!

@knightofni changed some things for fedora etc that may be related. We used to rely on php-pecl-memcached but now I think we need php-pecl-apcu.

In ubuntu land the package is php-apcu

So perhaps you just need that in your deps?

[dlandon]

I got it. Turns out I needed the php-apc package.

Hello,
today i broke the Murphy's rule - if it works, don't touch it - and i made upgrade from 1.34.23 to 1.36.32.
I just change the number in apt list.
Run apt update and apt upgrade.
It updates ZM and database nicely and smoothly. All went well without any error message.
After update was finished i tried to open zmNinja and nothing happened. I can't see anything. So i tried to open zm/api page and i got E404.
Surprise. I remember that something happened before already and i remember that i have to instal cakephp. So i did it and zmNinja start working with live streams. But page zm/api give me errors as shown on zmcake.png from attachment.

I followed all whats in the point 1 and i found out that i have all as it should be.

Another issue is the console and all web pages. It doesn't look like normal. And i can't see live view (the video is static picture). No matter used browser. It is doing the same in all browsers and OS. See zm.png from attachments

I am not able to find out how to fix it.
Used OS is Debian Bullseye with default installation from repo since 1.32.xx. Then only upgraded. After upgrade to 1.34 i found out that i can't have mini previews. But that doesn't bother me at all so i didn't do anything about it.
Can someone help me to kick me to the right way for fix it please?

Check that URL Rewriting is enabled per CakePHP. I wrote up something here:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/API
You can troubleshoot the errors in the web console display by looking at
1) /var/log/apache/error.log (debian) /var/log/zm/{web_php.log,cake_error.log,web_js.log}
or
2) the javascript console in the browser inspector
I have had some sort of graphical glitches on the website before, and it was fixed I think with installing something from apt. Whatever error you get, should show some result in the forum search. If it doesn't, please post the error here.

Finally CakePHP (if necessary) can have debug mode enabled. Maybe clear cookies / cache (try incognito mode).

as i wrote before, i checked all .htaccess and everywhere is rewriting enabled
1) todays apache error.log doesn't exist at all, in the previous error logs is only written the restarts i did
something like AH00163: apache/2.4.54 (debian) openssl/1.1.1n configured -- resuming normal operations
AH00094: command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'

cake_error.log for today doesn't exist yet
web_js.log doesn't exist as well
web_php.log doesn't exist as well

2) here will be the problem
cannot be loaded css skin
im getting many error404 that zm/cache/*.css not found
and this
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
at ?view=options&tab=skins&skin=classic&css=base:186:61
Uncaught TypeError: $j is not a function
at ?view=options&tab=skins&skin=classic&css=base:499:52
im going to investigate whats wrong

thank you burger for kick


SOLVED:
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled must be changed from

Code: Select all

 Alias /zm/cache "/var/cache/zoneminder"
    <Directory "/var/cache/zoneminder">
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
           # Apache 2.4
           Require all granted
        </IfModule>
    </Directory>
