Hi.

Kiofen is right. I created a specific zm directory: /srv/www/htdocs/zm

Also, I had a lot of difficulty finding the right procedure for installation. Here's my recently-completed checklist. Installation of ffmpeg with make installlib was critical.

Install apache
Install Mysql
Install PHP including all libraries and development
Install pcre-devel
Download Lame and config, make, make install
Download and compile FFMPEG use config option --enable-mp3lame, then make, make install, make installlib
Create directory for zm: /srv/www/htdocs/zm with owner:group wwwrun:www
Download ZM ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/lib --with-lame=/usr/lib --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs/zm --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webuser=wwwrun --with-webgroup=www
Run perl zmconfig.pl
Follow the MYSQL setup procedure in the README doc that comes with ZM
Install the zm script in the /etc/init.d directory and set up the runlevel start-up. Note that the "&& echo_failure " commands in that script don't work. I simply deleted them.

HI Newbie.

You can create a directory to store all the ZM php files. As root, you enter this:
mkdir /srv/www/html/zm
chown wwwrun:www /srv/www/html/zm

This creates the directory and changes the ownership so that the user that apache runs as (wwwrun) can change files, etc.

I won't take you through the procedure to administer Mysql databases. You'll have to find out about that yourself. However, you should follow the instructions in the README file that comes with zm. It worked for me. ZM looks after the database for you- you don't ned to do any admin. If you really must, then you can use phpMyAdmin or Webmin. Both come with SuSE.

ZM requires you to set up two users, one who with permissions to do anything, and another who has only viewing permissions. These are set up by the zmschema.sql file. See the section of the README file that starts:
"For a new installation ..."

Hope this helps

Ben
