I did a 17.10 Ubuntu with ZM 1.30.4 install from the wiki instructions the other day and everything worked!

After initially getting this issue on 17.04 I managed to get everything working, but I've just upgraded to 17.10, and this issue is back. I can't for the life of me remember how I solved it last time... :roll:

Hi!

I had the same issue, because php-apcu and php-apcu-bc were missing. If Ubuntu has packages like php7.0-apcu and php7.0-apcu-bc, you might want to use them instead.
After installation, you need to reload apache.

Now I'm stuck with:

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught InternalErrorException: Internal Server Error in /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php:276\nStack trace:\n#0 /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php(213): ErrorHandler::handleFatalError(256, '[MissingPluginE...', '/usr/share/php/...', 138)\n#1 [internal function]: ErrorHandler::handleError(256, '[MissingPluginE...', '/usr/share/php/...', 138, Array)\n#2 /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php(138): trigger_error('[MissingPluginE...', 256)\n#3 [internal function]: ErrorHandler::handleException(Object(MissingPluginException))\n#4 {main}\n  thrown in /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php on line 276

Fixed the API on my tinkerboard installation.

My last problem was:

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught InternalErrorException: Internal Server Error in /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php:276\nStack trace:\n#0 /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php(213): ErrorHandler::handleFatalError(256, '[MissingPluginE...', '/usr/share/php/...', 138)\n#1 [internal function]: ErrorHandler::handleError(256, '[MissingPluginE...', '/usr/share/php/...', 138, Array)\n#2 /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php(138): trigger_error('[MissingPluginE...', 256)\n#3 [internal function]: ErrorHandler::handleException(Object(MissingPluginException))\n#4 {main}\n  thrown in /usr/share/php/Cake/Error/ErrorHandler.php on line 276
As mentioned by bbunge the api/app/Plugin folder might be missing. This was also the case for my installation.
Therefore I checked github and found that it contains a folder "Crud", which contains https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/crud/t ... c3984eeed5. Since this version of Crud has not been edited since years, I simple copied it to my zoneminder installation and it worked (depending on your installation, you might need to adapt the folder/file rights).

Steps:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Plugin/Crud/
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/crud/archive/c3976f1478c681b0bbc132ec3a3e82c3984eeed5.zip
unzip c3976f1478c681b0bbc132ec3a3e82c3984eeed5.zip
cp -r ./crud-c3976f1478c681b0bbc132ec3a3e82c3984eeed5/* /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Plugin/Crud/

Nope, looks like there's no official apc for php7.0. I've tried installing it via no-idea what methods I found online, but still getting the same error :/

Can you check if apcu is mentioned in phpinfo(). In order to test for your web server, create a new .php file ("version.php") in the root directory of your web server with the following content:

Code: Select all

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>
Then open the created file in your browser (e.g. "http://<ip of webserver/version.php"). This will show you a lot of information about your php installation and there should be a section called "apcu". In this section you shall see something like "apc.enabled"

Please post:

Code: Select all

apt list --installed | grep php
And please also check if you have files like:

Code: Select all

/etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-apcu.ini
/etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini
If you cannot see the apcu section, your php installation does not recognize apcu extension.

I get:

/etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-apcu.ini
/etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-apcu_bc.ini
/etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/30-apcu.ini

mentioned in the 'Additional .ini files parsed' section, but not other occurrence of 'apc' on the page.

Did you try a clean installation with only one PHP version in the past?

Maybe your php extension is not loaded correctly. Normally php is loading extensions from the "extension_dir".
Please check your phpinfo() output for "Core => PHP Version" and "Core => extension_dir". This will specify which php-version is loaded and where it does expect the extensions.

If you do (please adjust PHP Version)

Code: Select all

cat /etc/php/<PHP Version>/apache2/conf.d/20-apcu.ini
you should see the name of the .so file and this file needs to be in the "extension_dir". If it is not there and if all your extensions are in a different directory, you should adjust the extension_dir configuration in the php.ini ("/etc/php/<PHP Version>/apache2/php.ini")

In order to find the extension on your system, you can use find:

Code: Select all

find / -name apcu.so
After config changes, please restart/reload Apache.

Re: ZM 1.30.4 API issue on ubuntu 17.10

I was able to get the API working fully in ZM 1.30.4 and Puppy Linux Artful 17.10.
There were 3 directories missing and needed to be created and a symlink to /var/tmp.
For some reason the /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Config/core.php is does not exist but in it's place is a symlink to /etc/zm/core.php which does not exist.
The entire /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Plugin was missing. I copied the missing folder from another installation for the Crud stuff.
finally when the missing directories were either created or copied ownership of the zoneminder

Code: Select all

chown -R www-data /usr/share/zoneminder
and I had to install php-apcu-bc_1.0.3 with php-apcu_5.1.8+4.0.11
enable the modules and restarted Apache2
the url http://zm-server/zm/api/host/getVersion.json gives the response

Code: Select all

{"version":"1.30.4","apiversion":"1.0"}
zmNinja also works well.

After reading entiere thread I've discovered that my problem can be the lack of the folder /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Plugin.
... but I've a very noob and I've not understand what I must do with Crud (what is Crud?) and where to find the content to copy in the folder.
Please somenone can post some simple step for me?

Your best bet is to start over with Ubuntu 16.04. See the install instructions at:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

There are too many issues with your install on Ubuntu 17.10 and support time for it is very limited. Yes, you can try to fix it and in time you will learn some things about Linux like I did (I asked a co-worker for help learning operating systems. He refused and I set out on my own to learn. 30 years later he regets his actions and comes to me for help).

I agree with bbunge.....better to go with Ubuntu 16.04...install is straightforward and ZM 1.30.4 runs really well using it. I only did the repairs to the Artful Puppy Linux for the challenge and a better understanding of ZM.... Crud is a mnemonic for the common operations you need for data in a database: Create Retrieve Update Delete. There is a set of functions that need to go along with ZM and are in the /plugins folder buried in the ZM directories. That folder and the stuff in it PLUS some main components of CakePHP (like the core.php) is not there or where they should be after installation of ZM in Ubuntu Artful (and variants)...so no API functions.

in case you are up for learning more and attempting to fix your 17.10 install here is the link to the plugin folder but be warned it is somewhat tricky to get it all going. https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminde ... app/Plugin

Thanks guys! I can't go back to 16.04, I host other servers on my machine... so, I must try!

you could for fun download this /zoneminder/api folder and overwrite the /usr/share/zoneminder/api directory with this one and make sure you have the php-apcu and php-apcu-bc modules installed and enabled with then a restart of Apache and see if this URL gives a response

Code: Select all

http://localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json

Well, looks like you are in a bind. I say this because you will likely want to upgrade to 18.04 when it is released at the end of April. If you spend a lot of time getting Zoneminder to work on 17.10 it is highly likely the upgrade to 18.04 will mess it up again. Just wanted you to know.

Here goes:
uninstall and purge Zoneminder:
apt remove zoneminder
then
apt purge zoneminder
May as well remove dependencies when promped.

Drop the zm database: mysql
mysql -uroot -p
mysql> DROPDATABASE zm;
/q

follow the instructions here it install Zoneminder:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

Since you have other databases use the alternate entry in my.cnf
