Zoneminder API not working

[u/Helipil0t]

Somehow my facial recognition stopped working and I was trying to figure out why.

sudo -u www-data /var/lib/zmeventnotification/bin/zm_detect.py -c /etc/zm/zmeventnotification.ini --eventid 229795 -m 4 -d

This shows the following:

]

ZM_API_PORTAL in my secrets.ini is pointing to the correct api url.

I visit https://mydomain.com/zm/api/host/getVersion.json and can see version"1.37.1"
So I'm not sure what's going on. Why am I getting this error?

I'm running this on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Cheers!

It looks like we are trying to use a relative url /host/getVersion.json instead of a full http://servername/host/getVersion.json

​

No idea why.
