ZoneMinder Forums

After several months of flawless operation, event thumbnails are no longer being created. One of the typical error messages is: "Can't create thumbnail 'images/68620-d-capture-4.jpg'". The file pointed to in the log is: "/usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/functions.php"

I verified the file exists. Also /var/log/syslog shows the same error messages. These error messages are only created when monitor events are selected from the zoneminder console. The events play back just fine, only the thumbnail is broken in the last two days.

No changes have been made to zoneminder, but I did notice a lot of events were deleted, supposedly triggered by the 75% full filter I had in place. EXCEPT, the events were taken down from 77% to 4%! Is the database broken?

Doing more investigation on why my event page isn't seeing thumbnails, I found the Apache2 logs. It seems to echo what the syslogs says. I also see a PHP warning. Has there been a recent change to ZM 1.30.0?
