Successful upgrade from 1.26.5 on Ubuntu 13.10

Just wanted to post that I have successfully upgraded my 1.26.5 install on Ubuntu 13.10 to 1.27 via source. I used the new cmake method described in the INSTALL document. The only problem I had was originally missing the trailing dot on the cmake command-line (cmake -C zm_conf.cmake .).
I love the new flat skin! I have a minor issue where the new windows (filters, monitors, etc.) are opening up too small for the new controls, but other than that it looks great.

Hi,
I am fairly new to zm & linux. I am trying to do a fresh install of zm 1.27 on my ubuntu 12.04. I am stuck at 'create an apache virtual host for zoneminder' in the INSTALL file. What commands do i use exactly to achieve this?
Thanks

You can read about setting up apache virtual hosts here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/
In my Ubuntu installation, I have a zoneminder.conf file under /etc/apache2/conf-available with the following contents:
Code: Select all
Alias /zm /usr/local/zoneminder
<Directory /usr/local/zoneminder>
php_flag register_globals off
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
</Directory>
Then you symlink to that file under /etc/apache2/conf-enabled so apache uses it during startup.

You can use the Ubuntu install at:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way
You do have to add the delay to : /etc/init.d/zoneminder.
To the package installers version of the file add sleep 15 as shown:
start() {
sleep 15
echo -n "Starting $prog: "
You do not have to patch : /etc/zm/zm.conf
I have done a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 install using the ZM 1.27 from the PPA and have upgraded a running, 15 camera, 12.04 1.26.5 to 1.27 from the PPA. Do an "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the 1.27.
