ZoneMinder Forums

Hi.
iave tried to install zoneminder with no luck.
This is what i beeb doing...

1. ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/ --with-webdir=/var/www/html --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin
No error with this.
2. perl ./zmconfig.pl
Seems to go fine.
3. created the database according to zmschema.sql
4. make
No errors here
Now i think i should have some files in the /usr/local/bin directory but NO
and no files in html directory
and no files in cgi-bin

Why isnt the script copying the files to right directory?
//Per

You just needed to read a bit further down in the README file.
As per the installation instructions...

Finally, check zm_config.php in the web directory and amend any configuration necessary in there. Most will have already been done by the configuration utilities.

At this stage typing 'make install' will install everything to the desired locations, you may wish to su to root first though. The installation routine will copy the binaries and scripts to your chosen install location, usually /usr/local/bin and then move zms to your cgi-bin area. It will then copy the web files to your chosen directory and ensure they have the right permissions. Finally it tries to link zm.php to index.php but will not overwrite an existing file if it exists.

I upgraded mysql 3.2.3 to 4.0.14, ensured that PHP is working, ensured that phpMyAdmin is working, ensured that I can view the databases, ensured that the users in zm authentication exists.

In an attempt to load zm.php, it worked, until I rebooted the server, nowI receive a blank page when I attempt to load zm.php. and I cannot figure out what has happened. The incident occurs to my b2 blogger tool (although unrelated to this forum).

Would someone please offer any advice?
