[solved] Newbie needs help to install zoneminder
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:38 pm
I am on debian buster with mariadb, apache2, php, etc installed and have an actual working db for my photos. I am trying to install zoneminder. I followed the debian zoneminder guide with the zmrepo and followed all the steps and zoneminder was installed. But when I do localhost/zm, it gives me
Then I looked at the status
it gave me
Do I have to create a zoneminder database? I thought the zmrepo would have included it?
What is my next step? Thanks.
Code: Select all
Unable to connect to ZM db.SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Then I looked at the status
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl status zoneminder
Code: Select all

What is my next step? Thanks.
