ZmView Changing Function disables Camera but works.

[FreeSoftwareServers]

So I know this is technically a ZmView problem, but instead of try to fix the app, I wondered if I could do anything on the Server side.

The Problem:

Changing a camera from Monitor to Motion or anything else works but disables camera. (Checking in WebUI after changes via App)

Questions to Fix:

Can I disable disabling cameras?

Can I enable a camera via Command Line?

*Any Ideas on fixing the App, is it an App Issue or a Server Config issue I can work on.

I read about the new API, but I got the impression that this App would just fail if it wasn't using the new API and still using XML. I installed latest version as of 12.8.15 which I believe is 1.28.*. I used the PPA, I didn't compile myself.

Need any more information let me know.

PS: Server is Ubuntu 14.04 x64 SE

There were similar issues reported with a Debian install. I have not tried ZMview with the version from the PPA master. I do know it works with 1.28.107. As of now you have the choice of going back to 1.28.1 or not. Will post if I come up with something useful.

I am trying the new API install via ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master but I got an error ZoneMinder is not installed properly: php's date.timezone is not set to a valid timezone, but I am going to try ZmNinja as it looks to be the future and I am just getting my feet wet. Might as well start with the times.

Working on solving it now... Found this

http://php.net/manual/en/function.date- ... ne-set.php

But don't know how to implement it yet

[FreeSoftwareServers]

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini Time Zone Formats

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[CLI Server]
; Whether the CLI web server uses ANSI color coding in its terminal output.
cli_server.color = On

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York

Will Update on ZMNinja status if I get it working.

I already switched to Api and am using zmNinja and I don't regret it. I got the pro ZmView for that feature specifically and it didn't work OOB. ZmNinja took some tweaking but it is well documented and works awesome now!

I will be continuing my adventures with ZmNinja on my blog/website >> https://www.freesoftwareservers.com/ind ... oneminder/
