ZoneMinder Forums

I'm new to Zoneminder. For installation I followed the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ZoneMinder.
The web interface works perfectly and I got some monitors running nicely, but I'm having issues with the API:

When I try to access the API using curl method here: http://zoneminder.readthedocs.org/en/st ... l#overview
I get "object not found".

When I try ZmNinja app is says: "Login validated but API failed"

When I type the url in webbrowserI (http://localhost/zm/api) I get:

Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /srv/http/zoneminder/api/lib/Cake/Cache/Engine/FileEngine.php on line 380

Any help would be appreciated!

Missing Database Connection

Error: A Database connection using "Mysql" was missing or unable to connect.
The database server returned this error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app/View/Errors/missing_connection.ctp

I can login to MySql via terminal with "zmuser" using the same password as set in /etc/zm.conf

Hi, I am starting now and I got exactly the same situation. Were you able to find out what was the issue?
Thank you

I fixed it. Found int another thread that if you change the zmuser password after installation you have to updated Database.php inside the api/app/Config folder (installing from AUR repository version 1.29 )
