I get an error message:
But I have faithfully executed the steps documented here https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... lt-db-userUnable to connect to ZM db.SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I have NO experience with sql at all and I'm completely stuck.
Because the setup is so long and tedious
I put together a simple script based on the document:
Code: Select all
##!/bin/bash
# This Bash Script installs the components for ZoneMinder
sudo apt install tasksel -y
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
# During installation it will ask you to set up a master/root password for the MySQL.
# it didn't even when I first tried to install maually
# To better manage the MySQL server it is recommended to copy the sample config file
# and replace the default my.cnf symbolic link.
sudo rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf -v
sudo cp /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf -v
echo "press Enter to continue"

# To change MySQL settings:
sudo xed /etc/mysql/my.cnf # xed is the Mint text editor
# In the [mysqld] section add the following: sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
sudo systemctl restart mysql

sudo chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
sudo chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
sudo a2enmod cgi
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enconf zoneminder
