Hello folks, I followed the Documentation to install latest ZM with Ubuntu server (bionic) on a fresh HDD. All is great but I cannot seem to get beyond version 1.32 despite following the latest PPA install from the outset.
Everything I am doing is 100% vanilla and normal. I also tried followed another wiki entry which instructs me to install mariadb but that script fails informing me there are missing dependencies and so forth, none of which am i remotely qualified to figure out
Presumably I am doing something ridiculous so if there is a definitive idiot-proof recipe out there to install the latest/recommended Ubuntu with latest/recommended ZM I'd be most grateful. I would prefer to have a one-way process to follow as I do not really know how to upgrade my databases and whatnot. Happy to start afresh.
cheers!
how to do a brand new install with latest everything
Re: how to do a brand new install with latest everything
Just tried a fresh install (fresh ubuntu server), tried to use PPA 36, no idea if that piece worked but now I get "user auth is not turned on cannot log in"
I am very happy to start 100% fresh.. i have no data that matters.
Perhaps I am getting tripped up in the Documentation - where it speaks of fixes that are not advised, and steps to perform only for certain versions
F'rinstance...
Certain new defaults in MySQL 5.7 cause some issues with ZoneMinder < 1.32.0, the workaround is to modify the sql_mode setting of MySQL. Please note that these changes are NOT required for ZoneMinder 1.32.0
Does this mean I skip this entire section?
Anyway, I realise all this stuff is obvious to most people.... but any help apprecaited!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!!

Yeah.
Just to get it out of the equation, exactly how are you installing LAMP?

Re: how to do a brand new install with latest everything
Hi - I selected LAMP during Server install. That the right time to do it?
Then I just follow the instructions in the documentation (i tried the PPA for version .36 but it installed v 32)... to be honest I am not even slightly an expert ....it's not clear (to me) which items are optional. Especially the mySQL stuff, on the one hand it speaks of previous versions having issues so I am left wondering "so.. what do I do for this step, do I just enter the command line instructions?
ANyway. All help and guidance always appreciated!

Re: how to do a brand new install with latest everything
Hey folks- I *think* I now have 1.36 working:
Not sure if this is right but basically I installed Server with LAMP and followed the installation steps in the documentation - except for:
Step 3 - Skip section
Step 5 - Skip section
Step 7 - the a2emod instructions i dont think are needed.
All good for now... cheers!

If you were working from what I think you were, yeah, sounds right
Re: how to do a brand new install with latest everything
Running nicely actually.. less "Load" compared to my previous set up.
In fact, there seem to be a lot of improvements, both cosmetic and under the hood (i.e. perfornance)
