ZoneMinder Forums

I have a zoneminder set up on ubuntu 10.04. Zoneminder is installed and the process is running at boot however when I open the zm console it says zoneminder is stopped. How do I make it so zoneminder is in the running state automatically at boot?

It needs to be automatically done because this computer isnt constantly checked...its used only for zoneminder.

Thanks

Install the package rcconf or chkconfig, then select the zm package to be started at boot.

At least in ubuntu 12.04 you need to add 'sleep 15' to /etc/init.d/zoneminder before line 'zmfix -a' to make sure mysqld starts before zoneminder. If this isn't done, zoneminder won't start at boot even if it's supposed to.
