Hi all,
Now to start off I have tried to run Zoneminder on my ubuntu 15.04 32 bit but I got to a point where it needed 64 bit files, so I have just installed a fresh 64bit version of ubuntu 15.04 on a different system and wish to know before trying again, if it is even possible.

If I can run ZM on Ubuntu is there a tut I can get of anyone

Hi again Well after a lot of playing around I could not get ZM 1.28.x to install on the system kept getting cmaker tree error. After some more research I found some people had luck with 1.26.5 so I tried that and was able to get it installed. I just have to test it now to see if it runs or takes my cameras.

It seem that the install was not successful after all

I have Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit running ZM 1.26.5. Have also installed 1.28.x on Ubuntu 15.04 successfully.

See: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way

No instructions for the compiled version as I upgraded Ubuntu from 14.04 on my Virtual Box test machine and compiled from source code.

Have successfully installed ZM 1.28.1 from the PPA "master"

See: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way

I have run this twice on my test machine. You may get errors after "apt-get install zoneminder" but keep going with the setup procedure and it will work for you.

I set up the server then do the ZM procedure using Putty. I find it easier to copy from the "Easy" setup and past into Putty. Don't skip any steps!

Good Luck!

You can also use docker to have this done with two commands and zero headache.

Here is the git repo:
https://github.com/hrwebasst/docker-zoneminder

Or if you're really lazy just install docker and run these two commands (these three commands will do both)

sudo wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

sudo docker run -d -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=uberpass -e MYSQL_DATABASE=zm -e MYSQL_USER=zm -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=uberpass --name=mysql mysql
sudo docker run -d --name=zoneminder --link=mysql:mysql -p 443:443 --privileged=true hrwebasst/docker-zoneminder

Thanks for the tut bbunge I was able to get 1.26.5 on my system, I also did find a error in the install process so I reported that in your post in the 1.26.5 tut post.http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 30&t=23116

My new problem is that VLC can see my camera but I can not work out how to add them to the ZM software. I have looked all over the net for over a day now and can not find a tut on how to do that yet or a YouTube clip on it.

Thanks for the code and info cornbread this will come in handy for my next test machine.

Tried your suggestion out on my 32 bit server and it said at this time the files are only available for 64 bit systems, So I thought I better let others know for there future builds that it has to be 64 bit server.

For the record there was no error in the install instructions. The version of Cambozola changed and I allowed for that with the instruction: "replace 935 with cambozola version downloaded."
