Fedora Core 15

[darkpaw]

Can somebody please update the wiki/docs on how to get this running in Fedora Core 15. This has changed a fair amount from previous Fedora releases. Core 16 (currently in Alpha) will likely be the same setup as 15, as well.

I too am trying to install ZM on F15.

I am trying to use the precompiled ZM rpm via yum.

I am using the Centos instructions here:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS

Thus far I have done the following

# yum -y install mysql mysql-server mysql-devel php php-gd php-mysql httpd gcc \
pcre-devel gd mod_ssl glib2-devel gcc-c++ ntp gnutls-devel ImageMagick

# yum -y install libjpeg-devel perl-Archive-Tar perl-MIME-Lite perl-MIME-tools \
perl-Date-Manip perl-LWP-UserAgent-Determined

# yum -y install perl-PHP-Serialization perl-Device-SerialPort perl-Archive-Zip perl-Sys-Mmap \
perl-Module-Load subversion git yasm

I will be installing zm from source and thus I probably didn't need all those packages, specifically the devel packages with the headers to compile against.

I installed them anyways.


# yum install zoneminder

# yum install ffmpeg

# systemctl start httpd.service
# systemctl start mysqld.service
# systemctl start ntpd.service
# systemctl enable ntpd.service

# systemctl enable mysqld.service
mysqld.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on

# systemctl enable httpd.service

mysql> exit
Bye
==================================================================

The next step is supposed to be:

Import the tables into the zm database
cd /root/ZoneMinder-1.25.0
mysql -u root -p zm < db/zm_create.sql

Being that I didn't compile ZM, I didn't download the source and so I don't know where zm source is or where I should do this.

I'll look into downloading zm devel and copying the zm_create.sql to the directory that I am going to store the data in.

I wonder what options the precompiled zm is built with ?

The section "Installation from RPM" says to
=======================================================================
Then run zminit to create the database (see discussion page if the command is not found)
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit
=======================================================================

However,

# rpm -ql zoneminder | grep init
/etc/rc.d/init.d/zoneminder
/usr/share/zoneminder/www/skins/classic/includes/init.php
/usr/share/zoneminder/www/skins/mobile/includes/init.php
/usr/share/zoneminder/www/skins/xml/includes/init.php

So ?????
FWIW,

# yum list zoneminder

THe zm_create should have setup the database, in Fedora (earlier versions, anyways). Did you reload mysql (mysqladmin reload) after creating the database?

I got too frustrated with FC15 and just reinstalled FC14. Which is a bummer, because 14 won't be supported once 16 is released and 17 goes Alpha.

Did you ever make zoneminder work on F15?
