New Installation:
1. If this is a new installation, you will need to create a MySQL
database for zoneminder to use
(see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MySQL/Startup_Guide).
E.g., when logged into mysql as root,
mysql> CREATE DATABASE zm;
mysql> grant lock tables,alter,drop,select,insert,update,delete,create,index,alter routine,create routine, trigger,execute on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';
mysql> flush privileges;
Once you completed that you should execute the following:
mysql -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
2. Set your database settings in /etc/zm/conf.d/99-local.conf, including above zmpass
ZM_DB_USER=zmuser
ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass
3. Verify zoneminder apache configuration /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/10_zoneminder.conf
for an example configuration snippet.
bzcat /usr/share/doc/zoneminder*/10_zoneminder.conf.bz2
4. Enable PHP in your webserver configuration /etc/conf.d/apache2
APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D PHP -D PROXY"
5. set date.timezone in /etc/php/apache2-php*/php.ini
and restart/reload the webserver.
6. Start the zoneminder daemon:
/etc/init.d/zoneminder start
7. Finally point your browser to http://your.webserver/zm
Upgrading:
You will need to run the zmupdate.pl script
