ubuntu 20.04 and zm 1.35 install?
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 8:24 pm
Hello -
I'm following this guide:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/How_to_Inst ... l_Fossa%29
Fresh install of ubuntu 20.04 server.
However I'm noticing the guide and what gets installed when using apt-get install zoneminder are out of sync. Examples:
1) steps include to create zmuser but inspection of mysql that user is already created.
2) trying to run: mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql (errors saying tables already exist)
Further; even trying to follow the guide; I get this when trying to start zoneminder:
Is there an updated guide? just performing apt-get install zoneminder doesn't work out of the box so I'm guessing there are some updates in the guide that are required.
