Install not working for me!
Firstly, apt-get install zoneminder triggers a dialogue to enter the mysql password.
Should it be, because later in the directions mysql passwords are handled.

So following the directions verbatim the following seemingly related error message occurs:

Code: Select all

mysql < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql 
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Please advise.

Also noted is some of the installation directions for prior releases handle other issues such as the cambo stuff which should or should not be included depending on your goals.

Thanks for advising me on this.

Did you go to root directory and created there .my.cnf file? Not to filesystem's root but root folder.
(I'm currently also doing this install and this part worked for me.)

Sounds like you did not have MySQL installed before you installed Zoneminder. The instructions do say to install LAMP when you install the OS. If you do not know what LAMP is I suggest you look it up with Google...

give this a try


su
mysql < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

Using desktop was the problem. Lamp is not available on Desktop. In prior releases all the dependencies got figured out using apt-get zoneminder.

Thanks for the info!
