I installed Zoneminder 1.30.4 on a fresh install of Debian 9, had a few issues with MySQL/MariaDB while completing the install but it ultimately worked. Zoneminder has been running for over a week without any issues and has had some very low system utilization on the PC it resides on so I decided to load the Ubiquiti Unifi controller software on the PC as well. When I went to verify that it already had default-jre and default-jdk packages installed is where everything has gone downhill. I ran apt-get install default-jre and it started installing the latest version of Java, but then after installing the required updates it finished with this message:
Code: Select all
Setting up zoneminder (2:1.30.4-dmo1+deb9u1) ...
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
dpkg: error processing package zoneminder (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
zoneminder
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Now I cannot move past this. If I run dpkg -i on the .deb package for the Unifi software I get this message at the end. I can't update any of the software on the install without this. Every attempt takes hours since it seems to run chown www-data:www-data -R /var/cache/zoneminder process on the recordings which amount to over 12 thousand. This happens even if this is tried while all zoneminder processes are stopped.
I believe this error came from a work around that had to be used to get phpmyadmin to allow user login after install. Is there a way to lock zoneminder out of the apt-get upgrade list or a possible fix that won't break phpmyadmin logins?
