* Tweaks to the ubuntu installation instructions
I recently walked a new user through the Ubuntu installation, and noticed some
things that were confusing to him that would be easy to fix.
* Use release names as well as numbers
* If token is present do token based auth and do not do anything with session
* update HostController. Use config constants, don't use sessions
* Remove Session from the components list
* spacing
* Remove Session from App Components list.
* Move APIEnabled check to the api from auth.php
* Rework auth. login using username and password only occurs on login action now. Including auth.php should not touch the session. auth_hash logins no longer touch the session. replace userLogin with a function called validateUser which matches the semantics of validateToken.
* remove debugging
* Add session storage if stateful query param is on, but only for LEGACY_API_AUTH
* fix mUser to username, etc.
* shuffle lines
* use instead of session when generating auth hash.
* Add docs regarding the use of cookies and stateful query param
* Only open/close session if we are clearing a session var
* Use zm_session_start instead of session_start
* Should use zm_session_start instead of session_start
* document that zm_session_start should be called previously to session_regenerate_id
* Don't actually write out the session when generating auth hashes. Means they should never actually persist.
* More backticking of SQL
* add .. to fix#2686
* Use material icons for sort because they look nicer
* fix typo
* have to add authhash to session on login
* restore username&password login for all urls
* fix
* fixes
* updated docs to include instructions on how to find the loaded PHP config file
* Added note about verifying timezone change
* revert docs back to master branch's content
* added installation guide for Ubuntu 18.04
The only difference between Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 is the version of
PHP that comes installed, which changes the location of its config file
* reverting debian instructions to master
Hello,
the ZM_PATH config has cost me several hours to fix. I would like to add this little snipped to help others avoid this pitfall.
Best regards

* Xenial needs the ppa:iconnor/zoneminder repo
Otherwise, trying to install the zoneminder package fails with an unmet
dependency on php-apc.
See https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?t=27638 for details.
* Add necessary modules before configuring Apache
When you add the zoneminder configuration before enabling mod_rewrite,
subsequent commands (like the one to enable mod_cgi) give you an error
like:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 37 of /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf:
Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
* implement website monitor
* don't check certain fields when using website monitor
* continue to fix javascript errors for website monitors
* check $monitor, not $new_monitor here
* add website monitor documentation
was somehow left out of the initial commit
* fix corruption of functions.php
* add missing comma
* remove errors by testing for existence of key. If it's a new monitor, then none of the keys will be valid
* If the monitor type is WebSite, then default Status to Running.
* put back start function that got lost in merge. Don't start StreamCmd's if it's a WebSite
* Add midding comma
* Hide unrelated tabs when type is WebSite. Put back input fields for Type=WebSite
* Don't show control or any of the status fields for WebSite type monitors
* add some parenthesis to ensure order of operations, seems to fix fps and status fields not being shown for regular monitors
I see no reason to mention bits. No one cares about bits. Our base unit should be bytes. Also, lets be consistent and use 1024 as the divisor when converting to Kb and Mb and Gb.
The memory math is confusing and incorrect. Original posted added a 5th camera but did not update the final memory size or explain how they arrived at that value.
