Install on Fedora 8 from RPM - What Next?

[BrownBottle]

I'm glad that you were able to get zoneminder running on Fedora 8 via RPM, but you didn't tell the rest of us how you did it. Please explain how you got it running or where you found the info.

Thanks

I also installed zoneminder on my fc8 with yum, it works well but i can't view live camera, or any records (but it records because it puts the jpeg files in zoneminder events directory).
I had zoneminder on fc7, installed with yum and i didn't have this problem.
I think it is ffmpeg, which i first installed with yum from livna, didn't work with zoneminder, removed it, installed from dag, removed it again, after that i installed the latest version from sources with --enable-shared, but still not wotking.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
I installed it using;
yum install zoneminder

I then went to;
/usr/share/doc/zoneminder-1.22.3

and followed the instructions in;
README.fedora

it consisted of editing a single line in;
/etc/httpd/conf.d/zoneminder.conf

and then firing up the mysql database with;
mysql mysql < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysqladmin reload

That was IT!

Zoneminder was up and running. All I had to do then was set the camera parameters.

I am trying to set up ZM on FC8 as well. I have started the zm service, after starting apache and mysql it is running. Now what? When I navigate to localhost I just see an apache test page. I know there is something else I need to set up but I don't know what. I have followed your instructions (README.fedora) Here is the last command I entered:

Code: Select all

mysql mysql < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysqladmin reload 

only I had to add the mysql user and pass to make it work. So maybe Im being really noobish but, what next?

In case anybody is as clueless as me, you have to point your browser at /127.0.0.1/zm/index.php
