We recently updated from ZoneMinder 1.30 to 1.34 – easy as can be, ran the DB update script and everything came right online. Except … our home automation system hasn’t been able to access the system. OpenHAB reports that the bridge is offline. And we’re getting 404 errors in all of the \/zm\/api calls in access_log.<\/p>\n
Turns out the API was offline\u00a0because<\/em> when the new package came down … there was a zoneminder.conf.rpmnew in the Apache conf.d directory. Can’t even say I found this intentionally – I wanted to check the Apache config file to see if it had anything about the api directory, did a directory listing, and said oooooh!<\/p>\n [lisa@fedora01 conf.d]# ll zone* They’ve changed a few of the sub-directories and added components to the config. As soon as I renamed zoneminder.conf to zoneminder.conf.old, copied zoneminder.conf.rpmnew to zoneminder.conf, and repeated a few config tweaks we had made for the original installation … restarted Apache and voila, we can fetch\u00a0\/zm\/api\/host\/getVersion.json and get values. So if you’re getting odd 404 errors and CakePHP “\/zm\/api” not found errors maybe you forgot to update your config with changes from the rpmnew file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We recently updated from ZoneMinder 1.30 to 1.34 – easy as can be, ran the DB update script and everything came right online.
