General info

Post by willemdh »

Hello,

I have some general questions. Is ZoneMinder confirmed to work with CentOS 7? Is there some documentation on how to set it up on CentOS 7? I have an existing LAMP stack hosting my personal website http://outsideit.net Would it be doable to add ZoneMinder to my LAMP stack? Is version 1.18.x stable or would you recommend an older version?

Thanks!

Willem

You could start by reading the wiki:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/CentOS

The ZoneMinder packages in Zmrepo are intended to install on a clean system. Since you haven't described what exactly you are doing with your lamp stack, it is hard to say for sure, but generally it should play well with other packages as long as what you are currently doing is not too extreme. You'll need to make sure:
- You are using apache, mysql, etc packages from the centos base repo and have not replaced any core packages with third party packages.
- Your Apache web server is running under the Apache account and not some other
- You will need to verify the ZoneMinder Apache config file and modify it to work for your system accordingly
