I just tried Kyle's puppet module on an machine with an existing zoneminder database.

As expected, the module complains when it fails to add mysql account "zm", and it will not be able to start the zoneminder service. However, everything else is all in place and there are just a few steps one must perform to finish the upgrade:

• Update /etc/zm.conf with your existing zm user and password
• Run zmupdate:

  Code: Select all

  sudo zmupdate.pl --user=root --pass=<mysql_root_password>

• start the zoneminder service:

  Code: Select all

  sudo service zm start

The puppet module is for Ubuntu distros and can be found here:

I'm seeing something strange now. When I start (or restart) zm, I get two instances of zmwatch and zmupdate, and two instances of zma -m 3 (only have one monitor setup).
