tibetfreedom, those mysql commands should be given in the setup guide.
If you've followed the guide properly you wouldn't have had this issue.

You can find the zm_create.sql file by running:

Code: Select all

sudo updatedb
locate zm_create.sql

# $ sudo mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
# mysql -u root -p (this brings you into a mysql shell)
# > grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';
# > flush privileges;

Did you import the tables & created + granted the zmuser database access, as instructed on the installation guides?

I'd advise you to install ZM using Synaptics, as shown in the distribution specific Ubuntu guides.
You should also know that the kernel.shmall = kernel.shmmax / 4096 !

The best solution would be to customize the Apache2 configuration files. The first step would be to remove the "Indexes" from the "Options" line. That will not prevent the users who know how the folder structure looks on accessing the stuff. Then you would want to restrict the pe...

Well, I've said that I've based my guide on the Ubuntu 9.10 guide, so I tried to imply that you have to continue following the Ubuntu 9.10 guide: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... ver_32-bit

I haven't worked with camera/tv cards yet, so I can't help you there...

Here are Debian specific installation guides: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Debian I found the installation on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) to be extremely easy! I've also written an installation script where you can basically just sit back and relax :) ... till the installation is com...

russ, could you perhaps give more details as to which Wiki you followed and what distro you're running? Also: if you use mpeg streaming instead of jpeg streaming, then you don't need cambozola. I would really urge you to go for the mpeg path. Those instructions that you mentioned are to be found on ...

Thanks Marty. I appreciate it that you've tested this. I have to agree with you that it really can't be easier to setup than to just run that 1 single script :) I've just tested it using Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop, running in VirtualBox. It would be awesome if someone could just convert this into 1 or 2 W...

hmm, perhaps "bc" isn't installed.
What happens if you run:

Code: Select all

echo $(echo "2100191232 * 0.90" | bc | cut -f 1 -d '.')

Thanks for that summary. Now I have a much better idea of what you were trying to do, and it now seems even less complicated to be honest. Currently I'm sitting with 2 "slave" servers, that my lecturer set up, with 6 and 8 cameras respectively. Unfortunately for me, those 2 servers are alr...

I have found that Ubuntu 10.10 works quite well for installing ZM from its package manager. I haven't tried using ZM on Fedora or any other distro lately. You can find my setup script that I've written for Ubuntu 10.10 here: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=65280#65280 Please just ma...

It could still be the shared memory that is causing the problems. You should change both kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall. I have set my kernel.shmmax to 90% of my total system memory (value is in bytes) and kernel.shmall to be kernel.shmmax / 4096, since 4096 is my PAGE_SIZE. You can check the scrip...

martymoose: thanks

Install "coreutils" and see if that bottom part of the script works.

Could you perhaps tell me what version of Linux you tried it on?
Also: did you update all the packages before running the script of mine?

I wrote a guide for installing ZM on Ubuntu 10 with x264 this morning and I have managed to output a video in x264 format. What I haven't managed yet is to do a live stream in x264 format. The ffmpeg output options that I've used was "-vpre medium -vpre main -r 25 -b 150000 -crf 17 -f asf"...
