I am definitely a Linux novice!
Have tried several times to install ZM 1.29 on a Mint17 laptop with no prevail.
Never able to install the iConner compilation.
Then, during days of research noticed that the Mint17 is a Desktop version, not serer.
But, then I read that Ubuntu desktop can act like a server.
So, my real question is:
Should ZM 1.29 be able to be installed on Mint17 Cinnamon, or does it need a server edition of Ubuntu?

Yes, it has been done many times!

See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu#Guid ... tu_Desktop

There is also a pre-configured Lubuntu version that has Zoneminder installed.

TY VM for your reply - I have read the link you supplied about a doen of times but am not able to have iConner installed.
Are you saying that the SERVER compilation CAN be isntalled on a Desktop Ubuntu? Again, I have Mint17 Cinnamon,. I have no problem changing to Ubuntu to see if that makes a difference, but would love to know if the Desktop version can be used to install Server ZM.

Yes, but you need to install LAMP first. This is best done by installing tasksel to install LAMP.

TY bbunch,

I am going to try this again on a different Laptop also with Mint 17. If that doesn't work I will try a plain 14.04 Ubuntu.
Again, TY for your help,
Rainer
