No live view

[petric]

Fresh installation on Debian 12 (Bookworm) + ZM 1.36.33
The host has 2 cores and 8 GB memory.

Created 2 Monitors running now in Modect mode and are capturing. But there is no live view (clicking on the name of the Monitor). The thumbnail below the monitor name shows a "broken" image.

But the events are logged an the recorded videos can be viewed properly.

No errors recognized in the log.

In Montage Preview the cameras are listed but they show "Camera offline" for both monitors.

Any hints where to look next ?

Find attached a (partial) screenshot of the Console view.

Are you using multi-port? That can break it if set up wrong.

Not enough, or no /dev/shm can do it as well, but then you'd get error logs.

It is a standard debian 12 install (console only) using the zoneminder package delivered with it.
No changes to /etc/zm/* done. Even the ssl config is currently not configured/enabled.

As far as i can see i'm single-port:

I have been able to get Zoneminder 1.36.33 to work, sort of, on Debian 12. I have used the install instructions on the WIKI (https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_12_B ... er_1.36.33) whuch work best for me and the instructions on readthe docs (https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... 2-bookworm). However I feel the readthedocs is incomplete. I ran Bookworm for a couple of days and had problems with Zoneminder opening on some devices and browsers. Firefox on Windows and Debian worked but Chrome and Firefox on Android and ChromeOS did not. So, I went back to Debian 11.
As of now I do not have a PC I can use to further test Bookworm and Zoneminder. Am hoping the zmrepo will get a version of Zoneminder loaded so we can do installs from there instead of having to stand-on-our-heads with the neutered version from Debian.

Solved problem.

Installer does not enable the cgi module of apache.

Code: Select all

a2enmod cgi
systemctl restart apache2

I'd gotten a page-long description of this same issue, and everything I tried to fix it, written up before I actually looked here and found this post. Solved for me too, thanks so much!

I've opened https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/pull/3778 to add this to the readthedocs instructions as well.

Interesting. That somehow happens automatically in ubuntu...
