Hi all, have a working zoneminder with 5 cams since some years back. Installed zmNinja app on my iPhone some months ago and I can't get the timeline to work. Live view (montage) is fine but when I press Timeline nothing happens. Tried to run zmNinja on my win10 with the same behaviour.

The log shows **exception** but I can't really understand what to look for.

Nov 4, 2016 10:16 AM INFO multi server list loaded{"servers":[]}
Nov 4, 2016 10:16 AM DEBUG **EXCEPTION**TypeError: Cannot read property 'pageCount' of undefined caused by undefined
Nov 4, 2016 10:16 AM INFO Monitor load was successful, loaded 5 monitors
Nov 4, 2016 10:16 AM DEBUG Now trying to get multi-server data, if present
Nov 4, 2016 10:16 AM DEBUG TimelineCtrl/drawgraph: graphLoaded:false

API works, and I upgraded ZM from 1.29 to 1.30 yesterday with the same result.

Please advise.

That error almost always means your APIs are broken.

How exactly did you upgrade, which instructions did you follow and which Distro?

Try this:
a) Open a browser, login in
b) Open a tab in the SAME browser, and do a

Code: Select all

http://<server>/zm/api/events.json

(replace server and path as needed)

Please post the output (preferably as a gist)

Ok, http://<server>/zm/api/events.json doesn't work at all, nothing happens.

http://<server>zm/api/host/getVersion.json
Gives me:
{
"version": "1.30.0",
"apiversion": "1.0"
}

Same behaviour before and after the upgrade. I stated that API works in my first post but that was based on the output from zm/api/host/getVersion.json

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.19.0-25-generic x86_64)

I need to see the output of the events API, not just /api
thx

Ah you said:

Code: Select all

http://<server>/zm/api/events.json doesn't work at all, nothing happens.

I think I know what may be going on.
Edit /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Config/database.php

and uncomment the 'encoding' => 'utf8' line in the DATABASE_CONFIG for $default
It should look like this:

Code: Select all

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

    public $default = array(
        'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
        'persistent' => false,
        'login' => ZM_DB_USER,
        'password' => ZM_DB_PASS,
        'database' => ZM_DB_NAME,
        'prefix' => '',
        'encoding' => 'utf8',
    );

Then try the events API again
