what version of ZM are you running now? The zmupdate.pl script will update your database while leaving your events and monitors untouched. make a backup of your database and your events dir (if possible) before hand. but everything should be fine unless maybe it's a really old version of zm.

I'm running 1.22.3 (the version I got from the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server installation with "apt-get install zoneminder").shoetick wrote:what version of ZM are you running now? The zmupdate.pl script will update your database while leaving your events and monitors untouched.
Where do I get and how do I run zmupdate.pl ?

zmupdate.pl is covered here
But is basic as you just enter the version your upgradng from as an argument.
And backup your database before hand and DO NOT START ZM untll after you are sure everything else is working correctly.

Code: Select all
zmupdate.pl –version=<from> [--user=<database> --pass=<database>]

If you installed with the deb from the repos, you can install Peters newer deb, and it will upgrade you. You may need to redo the links, and suid zmfix again.

Where can I find "Peter's newer deb". I haven't found it in "downloads" and the wiki.Lee Sharp wrote:If you installed with the deb from the repos, you can install Peters newer deb, and it will upgrade you. You may need to redo the links, and suid zmfix again.

It's in the Debian unstable repos I believe.

Cordel, when I try your way with the zmupdate.pl where do I have to place the update files? and what update files? source?
I land at "no files found".

How have you installed the new version?
If from source then ZM will have set the proper path back to the source code for update.
If from another method, then I don't know.
Should work fine so long as you have not deleted or moved the source files.

The first link in "Other on the ZM download page is ftp://www.northern-ridge.com.au/zoneminder/ and I think you can find it from there.cyrulution wrote:Where can I find "Peter's newer deb".
