Installation

[HigherEdVmsAdmin]

I tried instructions from https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... 2-bookworm

When I try Step 7: Tweak Apache configuration sudo a2enconf zoneminder, a2enconf is not installed.

Where are the proper install instructions for Debian 12 Bookworm?>

Sounds like you might be missing some of the apache web server environment.

Is apache installed at all?

I tried a2enconf on this Ubuntu laptop, which has no ZM related stuff on ...

Code: Select all

Command 'a2enconf' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install apache2

Seems like it's not a ZM script/binary, but part of apache (which maybe is assumed to be installed already, I haven't looked over the instructions for Debian in detail ... plus apache was already installed and working before I even heard of ZM

Thanks for reply, The Binaries are there, just not in my path, I guess. That was Debian. I'm going to try Open Mandriva. Getting frustrated with how many changes regarding networking management etc. (No Ifconfig?) HAvent messed with Linux in a few years or decades?

I know the feeling. All the tools that existed and worked need to be deprecated, thrown out, re-written, because "new and different" is better. A lot of the change seems to be change for the sake of change ... I am very happy that Slackware has mostly resisted this silly fashion trend.

Here are the good install instructions for Debian 12:

https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_12_B ... and_1.37.x

I run Debian 12. One recommendation is to increase the size of the swap partition. If you already have Debian 12 set up you can add a swap file. I am a bit old school and run a swap equal to or greater than the installed RAM.

Me too. Not just because I'm old-school, but you suddenly discover that "suspend to DISK" relies on a swap file/partition that is larger than installed RAM.

No swap? No working!

Small swap? Serves you right for following fashion ... now go and make a bigger one and try again.
