Email stopped working??? 1.26.4

[McFuzz]

Gents,

I have a peculiar situation - I have a filter that does upload, creates a video and emails me all at the same time. I had to disable the upload functionality due to the FTP server going down for a bit but then I noticed it will no longer email me!

Instead - I see this message appear in the log everytime I try and tweak filters.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'checked' of undefined file: skins/classic/views/js/filter.js line: 16

SQL table indicates it created fine BUT emails are not being sent.

I tried recreating the filter but to no avail... mind you this was working just fine until this morning.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

I also noticed that zmfiter exists a lot with exit status 9 right around when it should be emailing...

Is the OPT_EMAIL option enabled (under "Email" in the options)?

I use OPT_MESSAGE instead of OPT_EMAIL (always have). I managed to trigger emails by executing the filter manually... But when alarms come in, while it creates a video and uploads them to the FTP site per the filter, it fails to message me

It looks like it's skipping the email sending entirely!

Code: Select all

Annnnd I solved it!

Due to an unrelated issue, I had to redo my FTP server which now uses active connection as opposed to passive. ZoneMinder was still configured to use passive and as a result, uploads failed which apparently caused sending messages to fail!

Also it appears that SFTP is broken. If I enable it and use default port (21), zmfilter craps out half a second after starting up.

Interesting...

Final edit:

Got SFTP to work. Gotta install libnet-sftp-foreign-perl package
