Hellp

Hello*

hey

Do you know if there is a specific reason that the zoneminder console has no authentication by default?

it's up to you to configure that.

Yeah I know, and that is the first thing I did

I was just wondering if there was a reason for that

i don't know. it may be the usual way of doing things

it doesn't feel like it's a huge problem.

but it sure could be streamlined one way or the other

Not a HUGE problem sure, but a quick google search for intitle:"zm - console" is pretty scary

^^

okay. THAT is a good argument.

keeping people from exposing it would be very much better.

It surprises me how often software users overlook basic security measures

yeah. and it's something i usually wouldn't have thought of.

That being said, I'm kinda guilty of that too sometimes

I'm setting up zoneminder for my company so I'm having a good look at security issues while I'm at it ^^

very good. if you have findings do not hesitate to share them. best via github.

I most definately will, I rather like the project

definitely*

I can't seem to access the rpms hosted on bauerhaus.dyndns.org, but I got them yesterday. Anything change since then?

maybe it's offline.. because it's dyndns...

it doesn't look like a regular server

back up

Having another problem now.. I'm trying to set up zoneminder 1.27 on centos6, I'm getting a whole load of "Memory map file '/dev/shm/zm.mmap.3' should have been 896 but was instead 0"

look in the wiki. i think there was something for that.. i think i had that error message too but i can't remember atm.

Ok thanks

zimzima: have you found something?

not yet, I'm trying to get the latest version of fmpeg

just finished compiling, I'll let you know what happens

hum, still the same error

Could it possibly be a firewall issue? Seems like a longshot to me but the company firewall might be blocking the stream

I'm not sure I'd be getting that error though

Apparently a known issue with the git version of ffmpeg, trying with the recommended one

Complicated!

very.

I got version 1.25 working fine on a debian server, can't seem to get 1.27 to work correctly though :(

that's sad

Worst case I'll just fall back to 1.25

nah.

i'd guess it is still an issue with the shmmax and so on.

what type of input are you using?

1.25? I think that was fixed as soon as I put the shared memory up to 128

IP camera stream

what zm source type...

remote? Not sure what you mean

yeah. because you care about ffmpeg...

if you use the remote source you don't need that.

Oh, ok. I found a few messages saying that the error I was having came from ffmpeg

Damn, really don't know what the problem is then

at least this is what i think.

i would try with a smaller jpeg cam source.

and then test out the features 1 by 1 to see what works and what does not work.

The problem arises as soon as I try to add a monitor, after clicking save on the little monitor creating popup I get flooded with the error

But yeah, I'll try varying sources, functions etc

have you tried it with a jpeg remote source with a low resolution?

nope, I'll try

same error

hmmm okay.

I have the nagging sensation that I forgot something important

can you confirm that your zm-user has access to /dev/shm?

probably yes.

/dev/shm is has 777 permissions

can you create a file there with the respective user? in the right size...

I'll try

i'm just poking at it like you atm.

i now found out that it might be an issue with an underlying error.

so go and check the various logs for a different error. that might actually be the source of your problems.

I'll take a look thanks

I couldn't seem to find the log files earlier, /var/log/zoneminder exists but is empty, and I didn't look further

usually in the database you can access through the frontend.

top right corner.. "logs" or something

Yeah I can get to those fine, the only error I get in there is the one I posted

The same one as the link you sent

absolutely sure?

have you then looked for that libav thing mentioned in the link above?

yeah, don't have it

we seem to be out of luck -.-

Are you running 32bit os?

nope (I'll double check though)

Double checked, nope

Then it is not a bug then - must be something with your configuration

crap

I normally see those errors when zmc is not running or is crashing.

Here's what I do mainly with Zoneminder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxEI2DRdhEw&...

you need to check zmc logs

Any idea where I can find them? /var/log/zoneminder is empty

make sure apache can write to your ramdisk, /dev/shm and make sure it is large enough

I'll try making it bigger, not sure I did that yet

if you are getting those errors, then the files exist, but are 0 bytes. See it's not a permissions problem.

Apart from the squirrel there are some videos of nordic bats. The place is the attic of an old house where the bats have a breeding colony.

By default /dev/shm can expand to 1/2 your memroy - how mugh memroy do you have?

Check your logging settings as to where things are logged. Sometimes just logging to syslog is your friend.

/var/log/zoneminder will always be empty by default - you have to turn it on under options

I don't recommend using the db logging as it will really slow down the web interface

I'll check syslog and turn on logging in /var/log/zoneminder, it will probably come in handy

You turn on logging to syslog under zoeminder options from the web UI

got it, thanks

Hey all... I'm going to bump the db update script version numbers to something like 1.27.99.0 since our next release wll be 1.28. Then as we add db updates, we should increment that 4th dgit....

Sounds good. Would be neat if we could get zoneminder to bump the 4th digit for us automatically somehow.

um... what do you mean? the zmupdate script should pick it up just fine... when else would it need to be updated?

I meant bump the 4th digit following any merge to master that included a dB change... don't know how we would do it. It's just a random thought.

Tried changing the shared memory size, no change.

The files are created, and are owned by the apache user

11M each in size

rw by apache only

good morning

ic0n_: I wrote a little script for bumping versions, its in utils/

So we are ok with this idea? I've run the upate here, seems to handle the extra digits fine...
