Amahi Forums

I am trying to install Zoneminder on Amahi 7 using the webapp interface. When I click the uninstall button, Amahi hang on "Preparing to uninstall..."

I checked the /var/hda/web-apps/ dir and there is no Zoneminder folder there. However, Zoneminder still appears on the dashboard and it shows up as an installed app.

How do I correct this? Ultimately I'd like to reinstall Zoneminder, but I can't do this through the web interface until it is removed from the Installed Apps.

Check for the existence of /var/hda/web-apps/zm. If it's missing, then something has gone wrong while uninstalling or it was manually deleted.

Please post the pertinent parts of /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log file.

There is no /var/hda/web-apps/zm. I did not manually delete it, so it must have been a problem with the uninstall.

Here is the /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log file -

var/hda/platform/html/app/models/app.rb:284:in `chdir': No such file or directory - /var/hda/web-apps/zm (Errno::ENOENT)

Thanks!

Odd. Did you click uninstall more than once? That could cause issues. What browser are you using?

Recommend you submit a bug report so we can diagnose this one. There may be a simple solution to get it uninstalled.

Please provide the details that led to this error. For example, what browser you were using, what actions you took, version of Amahi 7 (check settings tab), etc.

Please add me as a watcher.

I am using Chrome as a browser. I did try and uninstall multiple times, because ZM persisted as an installed App after the first uninstall.

I attempted to uninstall Zoneminder, yet it still appeared to be present in the both the dashboard and the Installed Apps section of my HDA web interface when I later logged into the HDA. I attempted to uninstall again from the web-app interface, and now the uninstaller hangs and says "Preparing to uninstall..."

I haven't taken any other actions besides reading a lot of forums to see if anyone had a solution or similar problem, but I came up empty. (Doc, I tried nothin' and I'm all out of ideas.) Reading the forums is what lead me to check on the status of the /var/hda/web-apps/zm folder, which was absent.

Attempting the access Zoneminder from dashboard tile, which is still present, brings up a new Amahi log-in page, which I guess is not surprising.

I have submitted a bug report as suggested.

Thanks for the info. I see the bug report. I have added some additional details.

We will take a look at this when time permits. Please understand it might be a few days. Check the bug status periodically for updates.
