Upgrading process questions

znelbok · Post by **znelbok** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 1:04 am

Hi all

I have just loaded the live CD and it has an older version of ZM (1.21.3). Before I go much further I though the best thing to do would be to upgrade to the latest version (1.22.0).

I have the readme and the files, but I am having some difficulty with the process.

This has been tried with the default user "user" logged in.

Building
./configure --with-webdir=xxxx

what is the web directory byt default from the livecd install. The readme hint that it may be /var/www/html/zm. Is this correct

--with-cgidir=yyyy

Same again, the readme hints at /var/www/cgi-bin. Is this correct.

I used the above value and from there went to upgrading

make install

I think this produced an error on the last line (cant remember too well late last night) and I cant remember what it said. I continues on regardless though (to at least familarise myself with the process)

zmupdate.pl -version=1.21.3

This produces a message based around privledges. (yeah I know I should have written it down). There appears to be an option to add the dabase user in and password.

--user=mko0nji9 --pass-zaq1xsw2 (from memory here so I might be wrong)

These still produceds the same message. Are these values correct.

Is there anything I have done wrong that is blatently obvious that I have missed. As you have gathered by now I am fairly new to Linux as well (seasoned windows user though).

Does the user "user" have enough provledges to do the make install?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Mick

It would probably be best to update ZM through the rpm package that Ross released last week. It would also probably be best to wait for 1.22.1 that will be out soon as it will have alot of fixs for all the issues we already know about.

Corey

Thanks Corey

I will wait for 1.22.1, in the meantime I will look around for the rpm (didnt see it, not that I was looking either)

When we get the next version out there will be a topic started in the Anouncements.
Since there were major changes in 1.22 from 1.21.4 everything is in a sort of testing stage. This change also required some rework of things to properly package it and sort of forced me to do some things that I had intended to get around too and hadn't.
It should not be to long.

Regards,
Corey

You'll find a link here:

Be sure to use the Mandrake 10.1 RPM. Install with rpm -Uvh
I have not tested an upgrade from 1.21.3 only 1.21.4 but I expect it will work correctly. If you don't mind testing, a report would be helpful.

I've already posted this in ZoneMinder 1.22.x / 1.22.0 RPMs for Mandrake
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 7735#17735
maybe should have been here i think
upgraded from the original 1.21.3 live cd install & all is well.
dowloaded both RPMs zm-1.21.4-4_mdk...... & zm-1.22.0-1.6_mdk.... from http://www.elltel.net/melins/mdk_10.1/RPMS/
ran as root

Code: Select all

[/home/user/tmp/zm1.21.4]# rpm -Uvh zm-1.21.4-4_mdk101.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl-Archive-Tar is needed by zm-1.21.4-4_mdk101
        perl-Archive-Zip is needed by zm-1.21.4-4_mdk101

from KDE menu
System>Configuration>Packaging>Install Software
then search for 'perl-Archive' & install the above 2 missing packages, then try installation again & it installed & stopped & restarted the service

Code: Select all

[/home/user/tmp/zm1.21.4]# rpm -Uvh zm-1.21.4-4_mdk101.i586.rpm

it did its installation but did not appear to stop & restart the service

so i did

Code: Select all

[/home/user/tmp/zm1.22.0-1.6]# service zm stop

I don't know if this is the correct way to do it, i went through the first step

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh zm-1.21.4-4_mdk...

just to be sure & hopefully not break anything!!
