ZoneMinder Forums

I have built Zoneminder 1.23 latest from source. I have php and apache running. I can see the Zoneminder zm.php page, but it is missing data and I want to be sure that it has any r/w permissions that it needs to work. What directories does Zoneminder need r/w permission to? What should the owner be ...

Troubleshooting. The test.php file gives It Works!"; ?> but I thought that it should give It Works! There is supposed to php with apache. The phpinfo.php gives " " empty? What should it show? The zm.php give " " empty. That is not what it should be? Searching. Found it! Need...

Webmaster replied by email "see Wiki, Troubleshooting". Now have more questions not explained in Wiki. From Wiki: Web server. Ensure that your web server can serve PHP files. It's also possible that your php.ini file may have some settings which break ZoneMinder, I'm not a PHP guru but set...

Sorting through mysql database issues. How do I add the user and password to the mysql database? How can I find out what databases mysql has? How can I add the user with the @localhost instead of with @ %? Retried. Got Zoneminder to get past the zpkg.pl start. Now, getting this error: ERROR 404, obj...

I was getting that same transliteration error. Can you explain how you find out what database you have for mysql and also what the user name that has been set and what passwords have been set for it? Can you also explain how to get php to run properly?

If you search the forums you'll find a list of all required perl modules. Rather than trying the approach of trying to satisfy the missing dependencies as you go, just ensure you have everything required beforehand. There are a lot of posts in the forums. You could find the wrong post and get an in...

Searching. Found there is a Zoneminder log to take a look at called "zmpkg.log". This file is not found, because have not successfully started Zoneminder yet.

What is the mysql command to show me what databases there are?

Entering quotes into Forum, and pressing the Submit button, the quotes were automatically concatenated and shortened, deleting text in between them. Is there a syntax reason for this? The quotes included "mysql>" and "mysql -u root -p < db/zm_create.sql" And also the same with us...

The Wiki Build from source section, has For a new installation the next thing you will need to do is create your database and database users. So type the commands as follows, mysql mysql < db/zm_create.sql mysql mysql grant select,insert,update,delete on <database>.* to '<database>'@localhost identi...

There are two programs that documentation would be great for on how to use them with Zoneminder. That is mysql and apache2. While they have their own documentation, a how to for a new build or installation would be helpful. Such as a description of what files you need and what they are for and what ...

From reading the wiki, I think that I need to also have apache running, but I have not found the documentation for it. Two new things to learn about, mysql, and apache. There is no "man apache2ctl"? The user documenation for apache tells you to read about it on their web page. There is no ...

Some manual sections of special interest: - If you are migrating from an older version of MySQL, please read the "Upgrading from..." section first! - To see what MySQL can do, take a look at the features section. From the README for mysql, you can take a look at the features section of th...

To build ZoneMinder the first thing you need to do is run the included configure script to define some initial configuration. If you are happy with the default settings for the database host (‘localhost’), name (‘zm’), user (‘zmuser’) and password (‘zmpass’) then you can just type ....

Searching. Tried to find out more about how to use mysql, went to www.mysql.com. While mysql is another program, and not Zoneminder, so you would think there would be no need to have mysql documentation in the Zoneminder wiki, but unless you have properly configured mysql and the database, then Zone...

Have a lot of Fun Cool. You must be the person that the repository Monex is named after? I had to add that repository to get some dependencies sorted out when trying to build Zoneminder 1.23 for OpenSuse 11.1! It has been four hours of fun so far! I know that you can install the Monex Zoneminder, a...
