Can view, but can't edit via API

red-dog · Post by **red-dog** » Tue May 31, 2016 5:28 pm

I previously had ZM 1.29.0 working on a Centos 6 server and I could modify my ZM configuration via the API via the "-d" directive. After a hard drive crash, I upgraded to Centos 7.2 and reinstalled ZM 1.29.0. Everything works fine, including viewing ZM's configs via the API, but any attempt to modify the configuration via "-d" generates a "Missing Method in MonitorsController" error.

/zm/api shows CakePHP 2.5.0-RC1 and everything is green except the last line which notes that DebugKit is not installed.

The following commands return the expected response:
/zm/api/configs.json
/zm/api/events.json
/zm/api/monitors/1.json
/zm/api/events/181.json -d "Event[Name]=Seek and Destroy"

With /zm/api/monitors/1.json -d "Monitor[Brightness]=30000" throwing an error.

CentOS 7.2.1511
ZoneMinder 1.29.0
API Version 1.0
PHP 5.4.16

Any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated.

After further investigation, values are being set, but I'm still seeing some strange behavior.

I would have sworn that I was able to change setting from a web browser before with http://zm/api/monitors/1.json -d "Monitor[Brightness]=30000". That's where I was seeing the error that was include in the original post. When I attempted to set values using curl, I was receiving a bunch of HTML and I assumed that it was the same error message. Upon closer inspection, it says that it has saved my values, however it is still giving an error message. Since I've always used a the "-s" curl directive, these errors may have been there all along.

So values are getting changed and they are being stored properly in mySql, however the values that show up in the zm console are different than the configured values. If I set Monitor[Brightness]=30000, zm console shows 29952. If I set it to 20000, zm shows 19968. I just noticed that same thing happens when I try to adjust the brightness in the zm console. If I set the brightness to 30000, as soon as I hit save, it changes to 29952.

Here is the response I get to: curl -XPUT http://192.168.0.7/zm/api/monitors/1.json -d "Monitor[Brightness]=30000"

Seems to work well for me. Your error is complaining of some missing index type/functions - the line #s are different from the MonitorsController I have. Try making a backup of MonitorsController.php and replace with https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinde ... roller.php -- see if you get past that error

Getting error, but it is slightly different now. It's not a big deal, since it's sort of working now. By the way, if you set Brightness to 30000 does it show as 30000 within zm?
