(fixed) Events view in v1.24.2

[robi]

When I click on the main console, in the events table to see the events list, a new window pops up as usual, but instead of showing me the events list, has the following:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/zm/includes/functions.php on line 1343

The most strange part is that I get this behaviour only in Firefox (currently version 3.5.7), while Internet Explorer 8.0.6001 has no problems with it.

The URL of the events window is:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:800/zm/index.php?view=events&page=1&filter[terms][0][attr]=MonitorId&filter[terms][0][op]=%3D&filter[terms][0][val]=1

(Tunnelling port 80>800 through SSH/Putty from the ZM box to the viewer client, that's why localhost:800)

The ZM box has a fresh copy of Ubuntu 9.10, with ZM v1.24.2 installed from svn (Checked out revision 3013.) according to this guide.

Any ideas?

IE uses cambozola, FF does NOT

check if cambo is installed correctly, the settings in options regarding cambo/streaming etc and the permissions

also try clearing/disabling the browsercache, they use different strategies

I really don't see how cambozola comes in, since the problem I wrote is related to the events list, not the event view. You know, that table that shows you a big list with lots of events you can click on. No streaming occurs in this window!

By the way, if you mentioned:
- cambozola is installed correctly, streaming works fine in IE
- streaming works fine in Firefox too, which does not use cambozola
- permissions are fine on server side
- Firefox browser's cache cleaning didn't fix it
The problem is in Firefox, not Internet Explorer, dude!

sorry then i misunderstood your problem ... was a long day ...

you write about useing port 800 - a privileged port

maybe FF runs in a different securitysetup than IE and has no access to those ports?

could you post the code around "line 1343" so we could look at it to see what else is involved?

also did you try a different FF version? for me only the good'ol' 307 worked with ALL zm menus/windows

As I stated, IE works fine. I'm experiencing all these in both WinXP and Win7, all elevated admin privileges, no security limits on OS side.

could you post the code around "line 1343" so we could look at it to see what else is involved?

Line 1343 is:

Code: Select all

            if ( isset($filter['terms'][$i]['cnj']) )

in function parseFilter. Have a look in functions.php.

also did you try a different FF version? for me only the good'ol' 307 worked with ALL zm menus/windows

Strange, that Firefox 3.0.7 (portable) works fine, as IE works fine too.
The problem is indeed reproductible with Firefox 3.5.7.

However, I still think this is a ZM problem, since the error appears on server side, the error is thown by PHP, not by Firefox.

I analyzed Firefox's request with LiveHTTPHeaders plugin, and this is what I got. Anyone suspecting anything unusual? Maybe some mime types on apache side?

Same error when viewing from the same subnet, when the URL is, so this is not related to port forwarding:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.10/zm/?view=events&page=1&filter[terms][0][attr]=MonitorId&filter[terms][0][op]=%3D&filter[terms][0][val]=1

Different PC.

Anyone?

Upgrading to Firefox 3.6 fixed this behaviour.
Still have no clue how could this happen... since all signs showed this is a server side error.

[robi]

Sh*t. Happens again with 3.6 too.

The subject mentions that this is fixed, but nobody that I can see has specified a solution that apparently works?

I am having the same problem with 1.24.2 installed on Debian Lenny. This seems to have started occuring after a mysql server upgrade and restart.

Restarting zoneminder has no effect.

Ignore my previous post, clearing cookies solved the problem.
