Ubuntu Dapper install guide

[Airwolf]

Hi Phil - having only basic linux knowledge i am struggling a bit with this.

here is the output

zmuser@garyg-desktop:~$ ls -ld /var/www/zm/graphics
ls: /var/www/zm/graphics: Not a directory

I think i may revert back to installing Ubuntu and starting from scratch again

any further advise is appreciated

[zoneminder]

Ok, this is looking weird, try just

Code: Select all

ls -ld /var/www/zm

[Airwolf]

here you go

zmuser@garyg-desktop:~$ ls -ld /var/www/zm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42531 2006-08-21 14:57 /var/www/zm

thanks

[zoneminder]

Rats, missed off the trailing slash, should be

Code: Select all

ls -ld /var/www/zm/

[Airwolf]

as before

zmuser@garyg-desktop:~$ ls -ld /var/www/zm/
ls: /var/www/zm/: Not a directory

hi phil

Now going to try and define monitors/ zones etc.

thanks for your help

[zoneminder]

Good, thanks for letting us know.

This thread has been extremely helpful to me for getting this installed and somewhat running, but I've run into a problem.

ZM is installed in the www directory and when I navigate to http://localhost/zm/ all I get is a message saying "Could not select database: Unknown database 'zm'". So, I checked out what phpMyAdmin has to say, and it's only got the "information_schema" database, and no zm database.

So I manually created the zm database, but that only does me so much good since it's empty - duh. This is what the login page spits out: "Table 'zm.Config' doesn't exist
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/zm/zm_config.php on line 169"

Where do I go from here to get the database populated?

See the README:

5. Installation

For a new installation the next thing you will need to do is create your database and database users. So type the commands as follows,

mysql mysql < db/zm_create.sql

mysql mysql

grant select,insert,update,delete on <database name>.* to '<database user>'@localhost identified by '<database password>';

quit

mysqladmin reload

If you already created the zm database you might have to delete it first mysqladmin drop zm and then the above syntax should work just fine.

I have already done this part, so now I have an empty database and a username to log on to it with. What do I do next? DO I populate the database with data now, or do I leave it empty and just tell ZM somehow what my username and password are?

Download ZM

Cambozola

cd /usr/local/src
apt-get install ant
wget http://www.charliemouse.com/code/camboz ... est.tar.gz
tar xvfz cambozola-latest.tar.gz
cp /usr/local/src/cambozola-0.68/dist/cambozola.jar /var/www/zm
chmod 775 /var/www/zm/cambozola.jar
Then under the tools or Images tab (depending on the version) enable ZM_OPT_CAMBOZOLA

Use this way and it will work.

Thats the method I used actually, I tried the way in the Wiki first and it didn't work and it installed it in some other directory, so I tried this way and its gotten me farther.

The only thing I haven't done yet is the Cambozola, but I would imagine that has little to do with my database being empty.

Once again I ask: how do I populate my database?? It is empty! Any ideas?

lol ok ok - I know, it should create it but it doesn't. I also have to use sudo to get the mysql command to work.

Code: Select all

chris@home-security:~$ sudo mysql
