Thanks very much for this. It might be useful if you could post it with the other distro guides in the Wiki.

I have put together a CentOS How-To:

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS

[black6]

I've followed both how-tos and when I try to start zm get the error:
/usr/local/etc/zm.conf: No such file or directory.

Also
cp cambozola.jar /var/www/html/zm/

throws the same error
