Zoneminder/CTU core CD distro

[arielb27]

I am not that good with Linux and was trying to upgrade my CD But I have not seen any updates for the RPM in a while. My last one is still on your first release of 1.21.4 FC3 and every time I have tried to upgrade it. It does not work due to it says missing the ffmpeg. Now I know I posted over a month ago and you had some manual way of getting the files but those did not work.

Is there any time frame when the yum update will be working?

Thank you

Yum Update should be working. Current version on the server is 1.22.2.

I'm getting a

yum update error:

Error: glibc-common conflicts with glibc < 2.3.6
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.5-0.fc3.1 is needed by package glibc


I noticed that in the update repo on cordels site this file is here:

glibc-2.3.6-0.fc3.1.i686.rpm

instead of the correct one:

glibc-2.3.6-0.fc3.1.i386.rpm

so anyway I haven't figured out how to update yet...

I did yum update and yum -y update. Both say there is nothing to do.

Seems that I can't get to the correct ZoneMinder version.

Hi

Been working out some kinks with my CTU install based zoneminder server.

1st: I was working on setting up an additional camera, when somehow apache wrote zm.conf to nothing, as in the file is empty. I was wondering if somone could post their zm.conf so i could edit mine and change the specific areas to my server. ( i would hate to have to reinstall :\)


Thanks!

Hah!

Figured it out, did a reinstall, set up a Vivotek to PTZ control from ZM, (see here:http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... ht=vivotek

and the first time I clicked a direction to move the cam, it 86'd my conf.. (made it an empty file)

for now i chmod 500 /etc/zm.conf keep anything from writing to it.

Weird eh? I wish I could find the line that says "error, borking zm.conf"

BTW I have the toshiba wk-11a and a Vivotek PZ6112 working, that forum linked helped a lot!



Sorry bout posting this in this thread, I wish I could have it moved to troubleshooting or the like,... Not really CTU or Corey's issue...

[cordel]

Thanks for the info though anyway
At least if we see this issue creap up somewhere else we can get on it

Cheers,
Corey

cordel,

I've installed the a few times and still get the following error on the yum update, any clue how to get past this one? Was it something to do with my previous post about the wrong file in the update directory in your server?

Thanks,

mycal

Either I missed placing a package in yum or the package is corrupt.
Go into /etc/yumrepo.d
edit the file updates-released for fedora and set enabled=1
then run the yum update.

I think a couple posts up I tell which file in your archive is wrong.

Changing the:
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
enabled=1

let the update continue, thanks, but I think what we need here is a new step by step install becaue the original one:

Code: Select all

Once installed all you need to do is :
To get the latest zm: yum update
chkconfig --levels 345 httpd on
chkconfig --levels 345 mysqld on
service mysqld start
service httpd start
vi /etc/zm.conf (So you can add the username and password you want for the database)
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit (To create and populate the database, default user->root and leave the password blank)
service zm start
Then Create your monitors. 

doesn't seem to hold true anymore it should be something like the following, though the order is not correct, because it won't work as written, but needs to be figured out:

Code: Select all

Once installed all you need to do is :
rpm --import http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora 
edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo -->enabled=1
yum update
chkconfig --levels 345 httpd on
chkconfig --levels 345 mysqld on
service mysqld start
service httpd start
vi /etc/zm.conf (So you can add the username and password you want for the database)
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit (To create and populate the database, default user->root and leave the password blank)
service zm start

But I think the correct sequece it to install first then update, as it doesn't seem to want to install after the update as /usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit fails with a

ERROR 1044 at line 2: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'zm'
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'zone@localhost' (Using password: YES)

but seems to work before the update. I will try to install a few more times to get a correct sequence to work and post it here as I think it will solve alot of problems.

OK using the above order to get zminit to work

/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit

Then you have to enter 'root' as it will not default,

then everything works:

ZoneMinder Console - Running - v1.21.4

[mycal]

Also one more thing to add,

edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add these two lines

echo 134217728 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
echo 134217728 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmall

if you are getting "Can't shmget" in /var/log/messages

I am trying to update with yum and do not seem to get past 1.21.4. Suggestions welcome. Yum tells me that there is nothing to update, I see a few posts from other folks having the same problem.

yum wont update you past 1.21.4 at the mo. As its not deemed as stable by Corey. YOu can manulay rpm it from one of his newer rpm's if you wish
