Hi all,
just to update the thread: I have given up trying to install ZM on Suse 15.5. I could not get it to work.

What went well is: installing Suse Leap 15.6 and using the ZM 15.6 repository. This works well with the above procedure posted by Carsten.

Have a nice weekend,
Knut

Hi,
coming back to the install of 1.36.33, I am trying to install this on Suse 15.5, but with no success yet. The epcos repository for 15.5 seems to be incomplete, when I start the install via yast.

Any hint is most welcome.

Thank you,
Knut

I am not sure if it will help, but Carsten's post describes a pathway for Suse Leap 15.4 (it worked for me in a new install):

Hi Carsten,
thank you very much for your comprehensive step by step procedure. It works like a charm

I had to go through a complete new install (again), but now ZoneMinder 1.36.33 is running on Suse Leap 15.4.

Again, thanks for sharing your know-how!

thanks for your directions, here is the content of the two log files (/var/log/apache2): access log file: 127.0.0.1 - - [30/May/2023:12:30:10 +0200] "GET /zm HTTP/1.1" 301 228 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0" 127.0.0.1 - - [30/May/2023:12:30:10 +0200] "GET ...

thank you for your reply.

As I wrote above, I am not a DB expert, so I do not understand what to to with your kind advice.

If you could give more detailed steps please, I could move along your advice.

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. I should have mentioned in my initial post that the orders in konsole are made as su, sorry for that. So, if I add sudo sudo mysql -u zmuser -p zm Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) it is the same result ...

I am not the greatest DB user, but
maybe that helps to set me up with a solution?

Thanks!

Hi, I just updated my machine from suse leap 15.2 to 15.4. The update also included an update of zoneminder from 1.34 to 1.36.33. The video streams in vlc of my cameras are running normally, just like before the update. systemctl status zm.service reveals: systemctl status zm.service ● zm.service - ...

Hi there, I have recently updated my 1.30 to 1.32 with SuSE Leap 15.1 - installation went smooth (ffmpeg package was a bit resistant initially, but worked finally). To save space on my NAS, I have set my cameras to 8 bit (black&white, or "no colour"). Stored images on my NAS are also b&w. Monitors ...

Hi,
thanks for your advice. I have to admit that I gave up setting up cifs as a protocol. Instead, I switched to nfs - and thus I was successful in chown the events and images folder on my NAS system to wwwrun.
So: it works!
thanks again,
Knut

Hello, i could successfully install 1.30.4 on a new install of Suse Leap 15. Both ffmpeg and vlc protocols produce video streams from my camera. Now I wanted to symlink events and images to a directory on my NAS. Following the directions in https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_dedicated_Hard_Drive ...

after trying out step 5 mentioned here:
https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... ight=mysql

it is working

maybe this helps for any other's try to get zm running on Suse Leap 15.

Best,
Knut
