ZoneMinder Forums

Great!!


But,sorry to be a pain, but shouldn't it come up on one of the menus? e.g. Applications/Sound & Video/ZoneMinder, or am I just being naive (Sorry, extreme newbie here, Installed Linux about a week ago)

The ./config seemed to go very well The make seemed to go O.K. It said it was leaving the directories and then finished. this is the last load of lines after the make install: Appending installation info to /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/perllocal.pod make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Downloads/ZoneMind...

OK. I downloaded and installed PHP Then I downloaded and installed libjpeg7 Then I did: ./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin --with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data and it actually said: "looks good" So I did: make install ZoneMinder and then the th...

Latest try on Zoneminder 1.23 checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether w...

Now I've had a look in directory /var/run/mysqld/ and there's not a sausage in there!
Empty, Nada, Nichts.

Probably there should be a file called "mysqld.sock" in there, just guessing like.
Has anyone got one that I can borrow?

Being a newbie, could you tell me how to check for these items?

Thanks

I downloaded Zoneminder 1.23.3 onto the hard drive as 1.24 has no chance of building There is no "mysqlaccess.conf" file, but there is a "my.cnf" so I've added the lines to that file, thanks It got a little further, and then it stopped because I didn't have gnutls/openssl.h Appar...

I get no such file or directory when I type in ./configure --help
I cannot get into mysql in root or my own (brafferton) account.
I just says Access denied for user 'brafferton'@'localhost' (using password YES).
I'm a bit stuffed really...

Aha!
You have something there, Mysql keeps saying no password.
How do I put a password in?
Should it be asking me?

Is there anybody out there? latest try... Setting up zoneminder (1.24.1-1ubuntu2) ... DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Unknown database 'zm' at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 89 Can't call method "prepare_cached" on an undefined value at /usr/share...

Doubt it!

Anyway, the Mandrake cd was the wrong CD.
I use Debian (Ubuntu)

I have mysql server version 5.1 installed
The iso I used was a mandrake version, so obviously I picked the wrong cd image.
I can see lots of stuff for debian and even folders for ubuntu, but no iso,
What do I do with the deb files that are in the download folder?

By the time this screenshot was produced, I had already installed about 5 times previous.
So where is the initial install page?

Since nobody has come up with an answer, I'll just wipe the system and put windows XP back on.
Since my business now has no security, I can no longer wait for an answer

Am I missing something here? Please talk slowly and in single syllables as I only entered the world of Linux 6 days ago, so I am a newbie in the extreme.... This is as far as I got with the damn installer: brafferton@Cameras:~$ sudo aptitude update [sudo] password for brafferton: Writing extended st...
