1.26.5 - lost access to some menu functions

[sgurgul]

Hi,

I upgraded my Ubuntu 12 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Zoneminder was upgraded as well (1.25 -> 1.26.5).

The whole operation was rather successful. I have an operating ZM instance already.
The issues I observe are:
1) I cannot see any Logs in ZM - the screen opens but there are no data and buttons (e.g. Refresh) seams to be inactive
2) Add new monitor and Filters button on main screen are not active - clicking does not cause any actions
3) If I open the single Source details (Monitor) I can see settings of General tab only. Other tabs (Source, Timestamp, ...) are visible but clicking on them does not cause any action.

At the same time the ZM is operating properly - I am using motion detection on few cameras so it works properly and sends notification emails.
So it seems to be only some GUI issue.

Does anybody has any hints how to fix it or what to check to investigate the issue ?

Here is a summary of the fix.

It seems to be a ZM issue related with (broken) web interface links to mootools-*-nc.js javascripts.

I solved the problem by updating ZM to 1.27.
To do that you need to add custom packages repository and then update ZM:

Code: Select all

- apt-add-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master
- apt-get update
- apt-get install zoneminder

You may also consider further steps to update FFMPEG and Apache configuration:

Code: Select all

- cp /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/zm.conf
- a2enmod cgi

- add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
- apt-get update
- apt-get install ffmpeg

It solved all problems with the UI on Ubuntu 14 in my case.
