ZoneMinder Export Failed Fix

If your getting export failed or a 45KB file from ZoneMinder export in Ubuntu, then most likely you are using a version below 1.25.0 of Zoneminder. Here is how to fix it.

1) Open  terminal on the server running zoneminder.

2) Enter the following:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/zoneminder/skins/classic/includes/export_functions.php

3) Scroll to line 255 and look for the following line(error is in red):

$exportFileList = array_merge( $exportFileList, exportFileList( $eid ), $exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $exportMisc );

and edit it to this(remove bracket at the end of $eid and place it after $exportMisc):

$exportFileList = array_merge( $exportFileList, exportFileList( $eid , $exportDetail, $exportFrames, $exportImages, $exportVideo, $exportMisc ));

Save and close the file. Now try the export function and it should work without a hitch.

All credits should go to ¨Fitch¨ on bugs.launchpad.net(Bug #740809), Thank You.

NAS

Speed up SnakeOS NAS

Disable the services your not using. You would be suprised how much of a difference this makes. For example I was only using FTP so I disabled all other services and made sure the services was stopped. Then saved config and rebooted, once rebooted make sure the services are still stopped and disabled.

This will speed up the SnakeOS NAS and speed up FTP SAMBA transfer speeds.

I disabled and stopped samba, transmission, ssh and a bunch others except ftp. The RAM usage went from 93% on idle to 23% on idle. And my transfer speed when from 1-2MB/s to 5-6MB/s.

So, disable and stop all services you dont use. Make sure to save the config or when you reboot you will loose these settings.

It seems obvious enough but I never thought of it till now. Leave a comment and let me know your results.(No need to login, choose anonymous)
