[ubuntu] Zoneminder upgrade – 1.26 to 1.32

Jovan Stosic August 2, 2021

Thanks! as it turns out, I did indeed install 16.04 of ubuntu … however, I ended up right back where I was. I actually ended up removing ZM and totally reinstalling (dropping the database etc). As it turns out, the whole problem was the typical path issue. Unfortunately, EVERY REFERENCE I COULD FIND re: how to ensure that the script alias and PATH_ZMS variable was set correctly, referred to a console OPTIONS ==> PATH setting that is NO LONGER present on 1.32 of ZM. which brings up a curious problem as to how to ensure folks new to this level of support can possibly find the correct answers online without having to actually make a post. When the actual functionality of the product changes like this, and the old docs are still readily accessible.. it makes it difficult to keep from pulling out your hair. I was unable to figure this out until I actually SEARCHED GOOGLE for “ZONEMINDER MISSING PATH_ZMS” at which point, i found the handy site that explained as how these path variables are now in zmcustom.conf as noted here (if this is allowed https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewto…=27722#p108059

Once I realized that the path variables are now in zmcustom.conf in /etc/zm/conf.d the world was a much better place, and immediately the camera i had defined started working. I simply had to insert “/zm” in front of the default setting there. Getting a few other cameras to work was very difficult due to odd FOSCAM HD camera settings, but I finally got there. We’re back in business – though i do have to re map my zone on the motion detection camera.

I have 3 Apache VM’s running currently:

A) ProxyPass (Hosts Nothing)
B) Main Website
C) ZoneMinder Website

If you access example.com you get to the website, and can navigate around, but…

If I manually type http://example.com/zm trying to access zoneminder

It redirects http://example.com/zm in my remote browser to http://192.168.1.255:443/foo*

I can’t seem to get my redirect working correctly, can anybody see what I am doing wrong?

Configs:

A) ProxyPass Server:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName          www.example.com
    RedirectPermanent / http://example.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.255:80/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.255:80/
<Location />
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

B) Main Website

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example-access.log combined

Got it working!

The setup:

Server A) Apache server that only serves proxypass and doesn’t host anything

Server B) Apache server that hosts main domain.com

Server C) Apache server that hosts ZoneMinder @ domain.com/zm

Server A Config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
Redirect / https://www.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.domain.com
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>
SSLProxyEngine On
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN on
SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire on
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /location of .crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /location of .key
SSLCACertificateFile /location of .crt
ProxyPreserveHost on

ProxyPass /zm https://192.168.1.43:443/zm
ProxyPassReverse /zm https://192.168.1.43:443/zm


ProxyPass / https://192.168.1.42:443/
ProxyPassReverse / https://192.168.1.42:443/

<Location />
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

Notes: It is important to have the /zm come before the “/” catch all. I also noticed it FAILED if i used /zm/.
