Issue with "Get an Access Token" #43

Closed FormBurden closed 2 years ago

FormBurden commented 2 years ago

I've followed your instructions up until the "Get an Access Token", and where I'm stuck is the whole example of "locahost:5000"

What do you mean by that? What should I put there? My ZoneMinder https url? or something else?

Sorry for the confusion.

baudneo commented 2 years ago

Use the zm IP address and :5000

Localhost:5000 will work if you are using a shell connected to your zm/es host.

FormBurden commented 2 years ago

Ah ok. Well, now I get a "curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 5000" error. I'm guessing I should be running mlapi or something when I try to do this? But of course when I do the "python3 ./mlapi.py -c mlapiconfig.ini" command in the mlapi folder, in the ZoneMinder logs and if I run the --debug it states secret token not found MLAPI_SECRET_KEY which I assume you get from running the 'Get an Access Token" command, but that isn't working cause of connection port 5000 error.

What would I do?

baudneo commented 2 years ago

That's a seperate thing. The secret key it is referring to is inside mlapiconfig.ini, you can put anything you want there it's just a "seed" to create access tokens with. You set it once and never have to worry about it again.

I would focus on getting zmes setup and running first before setting mlapi up though.

If you can sanitize the passwords and stuff from your config file you can post it as a github gist and then post the link here. I can look over the file and see if I can help you config it properly.

Hey, don't worry about it. I got it working correctly. When you told me about just creating your own log string of text/characters for the secret key-pass, I did just that. And everything works correctly. I really appreciate it.
