Posted this for future reference (centOS 7 post update script!) - I keep forgetting where this script is located, and it's not in the wiki

--zoneminder version upgrade

service zoneminder stop
cd /usr/bin
zmupdate.pl
--( this may take several minutes... )
service zoneminder start

This is a CENTOS 7 installation, which has been running fine with four cameras active for the last two or three years. Everything was working fine last I looked ( a month or two ago) - but today cannot connect to the web console This site can’t be reached zmdr.v.local refused to connect. SSH in and i ...

recently upgraded to ZoneMinder, v1.32.3 this on Centos7, latest updates applied. I notice in Win10 Chrome browser the Montage shows nothing where each video normally would be - ( all else looks OK). ZM-chrome.png I have tried different layout settings... no change Interestingly, in Chrome the ...

A bit late getting caught up on updates here. Running CentOS 7, and http Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) I've been scouring the docs, and I don't seem to be able to find exactly what has changed in Apache. There is an Apache server page that comes up, but its no longer hosting /zm/index.php ...

Thanks!!!

Just noticed random crashes ('system stopped' - and no restart) started in the last couple of months... (ZM 1.30.4). Was always running fine before.. I suspect some (???) linux component update (Centos 7)... some recent zmdc logs (not sure what to look for...) 2018-08-27 12:19:45.207720 zmdc 13371 ...

:?: I've changed from zmrepo to the rpmfusion, and successfully updated to latest 1.30.4 - and it's running fine! :D ( centos-release-7-4.1708.el7.centos.x86_64 ) I didn't get the memo on this, so the last while I've been on 'zmrepo' and still doing one by one manual yum updates ( kernel patches ...

Ah-hah!! well, interestingly enough, today yum update worked perfectly, no dependency issues. (Now on 1.30).
I did have to refresh my memory on getting ZM restarted - dug around and recalled that perl /usr/bin/zmupdate.pl would do the trick... and it did!

Thanks muchly

Been running like clockwork here the past year, but starting about a month or so ago, been unable to get all the yum updates. (Had to run yum update --skip-broken to get anything ... seems there's some issue with zmrepo. (??) Here is what I got today... Skipped (dependency problems): a52dec x86_64 0 ...

It's been a couple of weeks now, and the free space is still at 89% percent (purge limit set at 90).
I'm guessing that means it's working as designed

Thanks!! I am using zmrepo, but my OPT_FAST_DELETE was set to on. Perhaps it was set that way before the upgrade, I cannot recall offhand.

I have it un-ticked now, though...

I have an 8-core 3GHz xeon machine, 18GB RAM, drives are SATA RAID configured for 2 TB total. Running Centos7. Currently monitor 4 cams, 1920x1080 color @ 4FPS. Between all the cameras together, averaging about 24 events an hour. Do you think the machine is fast enough for default purging? Or should ...

Thanks!! My memory banks were incapacitated due to a shortage of morning caffeine...

Ah...OK, I found it! (the CentOS7 one) https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinde ... ME.Centos7

And the minor update didn't require it anyway ("Database already at version 1.30.0, update aborted".)

I just did 1.30-to-1.30.0-4 YUM update, now I can't find the readme (thought it was in /VAR/LIBS/ZONEMINDER/DOCS, but nothing there). Just want to run the post-upgrade db update script, it's a little one-liner as I recall. Been looking all over the site here for "update" instructions, can't seem to ...
