[SOLVED]Installing 1.24.2-2.1 onto a Linux/Debian box...

[st2000]

Hi...

Looking around I don't see much in the way of new/updated Debian-zoneminder install instructions over the past 5 years. Is there a stone I have left unturned? (i.e. better instructions can be found if I look here........?).

I have had zoneminder running on redhat in years past. Now I'd like to get it running on my 24/7 Debian server box. I loaded the Debian-zoneminder package, but am left wondering why it didn't create the normal zoneminder web page. With out that - I don't see a way of getting started.

-thanks

p.s. I'm running:
# dpkg -l | grep zoneminder
ii zoneminder 1.24.2-2.1

On kernel:
2.6.30-1-686

This link looked promising (as it starts out by saying: "Unfortunately, ZoneMinder (ZM) doesn't really have all that cohesive of a tutorial system."):

However, even this doesn't mesh well with the current Debian-zoneminder package behavior. I followed steps up till...

Now, make sure apache knows what it's suppose to be doing by typing the commands:
sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf
this will let your web server know where to find the information about zoneminder.

There is no such file as zoneminder.conf. Anywhere.

Sorry for listing links to other parts of the forum. But I was expecting to find help for ZM 1.24 here and not in the distribution forum. I'll include the link in this follow up in case anyone else is thinking along the same lines. I'm going to try and follow these instructions and see where they may lead me:

I got ZM to install from the Debian zoneminder package. You can go to this tread for more:
