server access problem

[system87]

Hi!
I don't know in which section of the forum to write and decided to write here,
because I think the problem is with the server itself, and not with the application.
This is my first time installing Zoneminder and I'm having trouble connecting from the ZoneMinder Client App.
when trying to connect to the Zoneminder server, nothing happens...

In the server logs:

Code: Select all

/var/log/zm/error.log

2023-06-06 22:13:34 Warning: Warning (2): Trying to access array offset on value of type null in [/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Controller/HostController.php, line 94]

I used:
zoneminder 1.36.33-jammy1
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
PHP 8.1.2
Apache/2.4.52
mysql Ver 8.0.33|

Installed using the manual: https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... buntu.html

Help, please, to solve a problem.

Better install instructions. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... der_1.36.x
Use Mariadb instead of MySQL for fewer issues.

I reinstalled the program on your advice.
Unfortunately, the problem remains. The error is the same

I think one of the users has already described the same problem, but no one answered him:

Hi,
I've passed the credentials page by using the following url:
http://<zm_server_ip_address>/zm

and since then the loading circle is turning forever...

Does anyone know how to overcome this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Yaron

To be honest I have not had a great deal of faith in Ubuntu since 18.04. 20.04 started changes that made installs more difficult for folks new to Linux. 22.04 is even worse! While I author several of the install procedures and I have few problems installing Zoneminder I still prefer Debian.

I have some errands to run this morning but will take some time this afternoon and load up Ubuntu 22.04 on my test bed and see what happens.

Stay tuned...

The error I think happens when one uses the API without authentication turned on.

Whatever client app this is isn't checking that auth isn't turned on before trying to login.

Technically it's a bug in our code, it shouldn't error, it should just... login....

exactly same sw configuration here. on ARM64 hw.

fully working, ZM and ZM Ninja

Thank you all for answering!
I can't install Ninja because it is not in the Google Play for android 13

I will try to install the Zoneminder on Debian this weekend

I'm not sure if this will fix the issue that you were originally having, but I was not able to connect to my zoneminder from zmninja until I directed zmninja to use https, not http.

I wonder what the difference between https and http?
