ZoneMinder Forums

I just noticed after last update, I think it was yesterday, WEB interface isn't working. WEB server is fine other things are working off it. Status says Zoneminder is running. Don't anything in logs.

upgraded from which version? There are major differences on how the web console renders CSS from v 1.30.4 to 1.33.1

I had 1.33.3 if I remember, 1.33 something at least. I noticed it in the Update Manager it was in the list of updates and I just let it install, I think that was Monday. I can see ZM is running and recording data but when you go to the WEB interface it never loads the page just a blank page.

The ZM log files in var/log/zm are empty. If I do a count on the database log table records are going in it. MPG files are being created to.

From Apache log when you try to connect.

Not sure if this means anything but this shows up in the Firefox Browser Console when I try to connect to the ZM WB page

Also running version check works fine just can’t bring up the console
http://10.0.0.231/zm/api/host/getVersion.json

have you enabled the ZM conf file for Apache? Is there a /usr/share/zoneminder/www/cache symlink or Alias for it?

This was working fine until the update happened Monday or at least Monday is when I ran Update Manager. I was running version 1.33. I did not update from something before 1.33. I re-ran the steps for Apache setup just to be sure. Like I said Zoneminder seems to be running fine just no WEB interface.

zm.conf is enabled
jay@server:/usr/share$ sudo a2enconf zoneminder
Conf zoneminder already enabled

This is the www directory I don't see a cache

Figured it out working again. The php.ini file had no time zone entry. Not sure how that changed.
