ZM 1.31.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic

[bbunge]

For those of you who just have to try Zoneminder 1.31.x on Ubuntu Bionic...

Follow the basic Ubuntu 16.04 install instructions at:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

Except...

Add PPA Master: add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master

Edit php.ini : nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

To "fix" the API

Download api.fixed.tar.gz from: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QjvVe ... vXBASFXnNY

Copy api.fixed.tar.gz to the home directory of your Ubuntu server and extract it. All files will be in a folder called api.

Rename /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api to /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api.org

Copy or move the extracted api folder in your home directory to /usr/share/zoneminder/www/

Restart Apache and your Zoneminder api will work.

These are not my usual "detailed" instructions because if you are playing with Beta software you should know a bit about what you are doing with Ubuntu. If you are at all unsure, don't! There are instructions in the WIKI to install the Zoneminder stable 1.30.4 on Ubuntu Bionic.

Just an FYI that I had to manually install the libapache2-mod-php7.2, disable the 7.1 mod and enable the 7.2 for things to work out. I had some issues with my upgrade to 18.04, so not sure if this will apply to others but figured I'd post here in case it is helpful.
