Ubuntu 16.04 Release with Zoneminder 1.29.0

[Pedulla]

If you run Zoneminder long enough with lots of events, you will have to tune the MySQL, or Mariadb, settings.

Can someone please quantify "lots" of events?

1,000; 10,000; 100,000...

[Pedulla]

Bam!

Nailed it first time through with the Mariadb install.
Nice work!

@sigge And if all installed as per bbunge, then as per MJN, enable php in apache, using MJN's command, or maybe this

sudo a2enmod php7.0

[Sigge]

I "purged" all the packages including mysql. Just kept apache2. Then reinstalled them all.

Now it works!

Just have to make my camera work.....

Can someone do this

with Ubuntu 16.04 Server Release ?

Wait for it. Am still working on upgrade procedures, which work sometimes, fighting for a warranty claim on my Maytag heat pump, and other "life" issues.

Sure. Thanks so much for your effort !

Hi guys,
I'm stuck here:

Code: Select all

sudo mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

result:

Code: Select all

ERROR 1819 (HY000) at line 562: Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements

although my settings are:

Code: Select all

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';
+--------------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name                        | Value |
+--------------------------------------+-------+
| validate_password_dictionary_file    |       |
| validate_password_length             | 8     |
| validate_password_mixed_case_count   | 1     |
| validate_password_number_count       | 1     |
| validate_password_policy             | LOW   |
| validate_password_special_char_count | 1     |
+--------------------------------------+-------+
6 rows in set (0.03 sec)

any help is appreciated.

[bbunge]

Do not use sudo

[Zsolt]

same result

Code: Select all

kamera@dvr:~$ mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
Enter password:
ERROR 1819 (HY000) at line 562: Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements

[MJN]

You could always change the password ('zmpass') to something that satisfies the minimum requirements listed. You will have to make sure it is reflected in /etc/zm.conf too.

[Zsolt]

The message above is related to zmuser or root?
I think it's root. The root password contains upper case, lover case, numbers and special characters.

[bbunge]

Use the password you set up with mysql or mariadb

[MJN]

Apologies I didn't spot that it was the MySQL root user. Disregard my suggestion! (or simplify the root password if acceptable from a security perspective).

[Zsolt]

Nothing helped. Wiped everything and started from scratch.

Followed this tutorial -> https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way but now apache2 won't start.

Code: Select all

service apache2 reload

returns

Code: Select all

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
