zoneminder_1.24.1-1 for Debian and Ubuntu

[PeterHoward]

The notification is a bit late; it's been in the Debian repo for a couple of weeks now.

But I've finally done the Ubuntu packages; look in
ftp://ftp.northern-ridge.com.au/zonemin ... tu/jaunty/ - both 32 and 64 bit packages.

note: Due to the extreme joy of ffmpeg, I'm not planning to package 1.24 for any Ubuntu releases prior to Jaunty.

Also note: I have had a report of the zoneminder database not being auto-created by package install, though I can't repeat this myself. Let me know if you experience that.

I am having the problem of the database not created. I'm trying to install it on mythbuntu 9.04 so guessing the fact that it already setup mysql might be throwing things off.

I'm assuming that this is a new installation . . .

So it looks like it can't connect to the zoneminder database. This should have been created as part of the install. There should be some more information in the syslog as to what went wrong with the database. Can you check what's in there straight after the installation failure?
