Hi,

Is anyone game to help me through a new installation on Fedora 19? I am going by the f18 installation instructions but am having no luck. I am stuck at This point.

Code: Select all

Thanks for using MariaDB!
[root@zoneminder ~]# mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
Enter password: 
[root@zoneminder ~]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

I have not edited the config file where i think it says to delete this line.
I had an install on f17 that was flawless in function. But i am in the dark now. things seem to have changed a little.
Thanks for any help!

EDIT---------------------------------------------

Could not connect to database: Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

EDIT-----------------------------------------------

This is what i get from the server! hope it helps.

Hi,

I think it is an sql problem. as in i know nothing about sql. The web page seems to answer up as does the database. just the marrage of the two seem to be the problem. Help me prove the database is working.

Thanks!

You need to give the zoneminder user access to the zm database:

Code: Select all

$ mysql -u root -p
> grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';
> flush privileges;
> exit;

I believe "zmuser" and "zmpass" are the defaults used for the Fedora rpms, but whatever they are, they have to match the parameters used when zoneminder was compiled.

Thank you!

That did the trick. all i have to do is figure out the login information.

Thanks much!

Well,

I can't get the passwords to work much less any other combination of words.

Can someone tell me how to delete the DB and start over.
I am thinking delete everything in the /usr/share/zoneminder/db but i can't see doing that without some input from others.

I have deleted and reinstalled both zoneminder and mysql but apparently the data and configuration files stay put.
Is there a gui for working with mysql?

Thanks for the help!

For a GUI try phpmyadmin. See if it'll do what you want. http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php

Hi,

I installed phpmyadmin and am running into the same problem. I am ignorant as to it's use. All i want to do is either delete the whole db or change the password. So that i can start over with something i remember. I am not sure what the default password is and if i accidently changed what it is.

The net result is i am still at the login prompt and no login/password combination seems to work.

Thanks for the help....

OK,

I have a start screen, KINDA.
I have the password problem worked out.

The Problem now is that it loads the start page and after the login it briefly displays the main menu. Then the screen goes blank and says "zoneminder/zm/undefined" is not available.

If i quickly tap options when the menu goes by. It will stop and let me select the tabs and will show very few items for each tab.

I did a reinstall with the same results.

Any Ideas?

All Right....

I have it working, I had to delete everything and start over. But it worked. I still have a minor problem whitch i will address in a new post.

Thanks to everyone for the help!
