After an upgrade from hell due to the php5 to php7 forced migration that broke so many things (sigh), I upgraded zoneminder too, since my old one worked with php5 and now I'm forced to have php7 in apache due to other packages.

I'm now stuck at the zoneminder privacy accept screen, and accept loops and goes nowhere.
I see this in my logs:

This points to a broken upgrade and maybe files left over from my old package (normally debian would handle this, but it seems not in this case). Here's what I see:

./www/index.php:  Warning("Cannot write to content dirs('".ZM_DIR_EVENTS."','".ZM_DIR_IMAGES."').  Check that these exist and are owned by the web account user");

Any idea of what doesn't belong there? It seems that I have one file left over that I should delete, but I'm also confused about "Use of undefined constant ZM_BANDWIDTH_DEFAULT in /usr/share/zoneminder/www/skins/classic/skin.php " errors, which seem to point to another incomplete install issue?
Seems that said file is from the package I just installed, and not a leftover:
gargamel:/usr/share/zoneminder# dpkg -S /usr/share/zoneminder/www/skins/classic/skin.php
zoneminder: /usr/share/zoneminder/www/skins/classic/skin.php

Any ideas? Thanks, Marc

Were there any upgrade errors, or did apt/apt-get complete successfully?

If you can't decipher the broken upgrade quickly, you can always apt-get purge and install again. Just backup the DB before reinstalling, and restore it after its up and running. Sometimes you have to run zmupdate.pl manually if the db doesn't upgrade correctly.

All settings are saved in the db.

Fair suggestion, so I did 'apt-get remove zoneminder' , then ran find in /usr /var to make sure nothing relevant was left over.
Then I re-installed it: 'apt-get install zoneminder' but that wasn't the problem.

Your other guess was correct that the upgrade didn't run

So there's my problem, but it's not very obvious how I fix it. The 2nd time I run it, now I get

Code: Select all

Ok, so at least google has the fix for that
https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... untu-16-04
after updating mysql to have
sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
then /usr/bin/zmupdate.pl worked. Disappointing that the debian package doesn't take care of that.

Now, it's taking what looks like an hour or more to update the db, so I'll confirm tomorrow whether it worked.
Thanks.

Took a long time, but the upgrade is done:

Upgrading DB to 1.32.3 from 1.30.4
Database successfully upgraded to version 1.32.3.

Now, I can get past the first page (which still looks very wrong) and get to the main page, which also looks very wrong

Image won't render, not sure why, see http://marc.merlins.org/tmp/zm.jpeg

Looks like the skin support is completely broken on my fresh re-install, and I don't see any errors in my apache log.

Is that some kind of known problem with a known fix?

Ok, my new problem is due to virtual hosts and zoneminder.conf not working in the right place in the overall apache config.
The same problem was described on viewtopic.php?t=27514

I fixed that manually.
Now, the interface looks ok.

after that, video recording/display failed repeatedly on all inputs.
The logs gave this

That was not useful, but then I got this more useful one on a single monitor:

Dec 10 16:56:42 gargamel zmc_m24[1677]: FAT [zmc_m24] [Unable to initialise libgcrypt]

I made a guess and upgraded all my gcrypt libs (didn't check which one zm used), and then things started working:
apt-get install libgcrypt7 libgcrypt1 libgcrypt11 libgcrypt20 rng-tools

Unfortunately, the zm deb package didn't force the library upgrade, I guess the package author didn't know that the older version of that lib, would cause failures. Maybe this will be useful to someone if they run into the same problem.

Well, there are unfortunately plenty of other problems after the upgrade, still. I started a new thread for them:
