Zoneminder 1.28.1 on Debian 8

Post by justong1979 »

Hello,

I have been following the directions here for installing zoneminder on debian 8

and I go all the way through and when I try to access the web interface, i get the following error:

Code: Select all

ZoneMinder is not installed properly: php's date.timezone is not set to a valid timezone
What should I do?

Looks like you installed ZM 1.29.0!
See here for the PHP edit: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_8_64 ... e_Easy_Way

or:

Add timezone to PHP

nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and make changes as follows for your time zone

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Thank you. I got Zoneminder set up now.

I have successfully configured a USB camera, but I'm having problems with IP Camera running on an old android phone. The Feed is

Code: Select all

10.16.24.57:8080/videofeed
and it works in another couple of programs, but in zoneminder all I'm getting is a blue image

Any suggestions?
