zm-1.19.5-1.FC3.i386.rpm

oskin · Post by **oskin** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 11:59 am

I have made a RPM package for Fedora Core 3 (it is possible recompille for others rpm-based distributions). To download it is possible here zm-1.19.5-1.FC3.i386.rpm (zm-1.19.5-1.FC3.src.rpm), packages necessary for his operation can be downloaded here perl-MIME, etc. (binary), perl-MIME, etc. (source) and here http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net/ (ffmpeg, lame, etc.).

Before installation it is recommended to make backup copies of a database and other files ZoneMinder!
After installation edit a file /etc/zm.conf (all parameters should have nonblank values).
To start ZoneMinder it is possible command "service zm start".
If the database for ZoneMinder for you has not been created, you receive the message with sentence her to create with the help of a script from a package (it is required to enter username and password the user possessing the rights to creation DB and users in mysql). After that again give the command " service zm start ".
If the database has already been created, at each start zoneminder the version of zoneminder database is checked and if necessary is updated. This procedure is not checked up in all possible modes, therefore do not neglect creation of a backup copy of a database zoneminder (use mysqldump).

I hope to receive yours bugreports.

Good show. This is an important step forward for zm. Though I must say I am disapointed that I have not convinced the whole world to switch to Mandrake

I tried rebuilding on Mandrake 10.0 and got these errors:

...
+ cd zm-1.19.5
+ aclocal
+ automake
automake: configure.in: required file `./config.guess' not found
automake: configure.in: required file `./config.sub' not found
error: Bad exit status from /home/ross/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.9301 (%build)

Best regards and thanks,

Ross

Try such sequence:
aclocal
autoconf
automake

Or such:
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake

I just tried rpm --rebuild zm-1.19.5-1.FC3.src.rpm.

Above was the errors returned. I could post the whole output if it would be helpful.

Usually that is all I need to do to rebuild a source rpm.
I'm not sure how I would use the sequence you suggest manually. Could you give me more details.

Thanks,

Ross

OK I also tried editting the SPEC file adding the lines you suggest,. I still get the same error.

Best regards,

automake and autoconf You use what versions?
I use automake v1.9.2, autoconf v2.59, I tried automake v1.5 and autoconf v2.13.
Phil uses automake v1.6.3 and autoconf v2.57.

If to take original zm-1.19.5.tar.gz and to try to fulfil this sequence?..

Rather than wrestle with Mandrake 10.0 I switched to 10.1. Now --rebuild works without a hitch. I had to use --nodeps to install because on Mandrake apache2 provides webserver, apache, and apache2, but not httpd.

Following your instructions "service zm start" was successful (OK) and the zm database seems OK. However when going to http://localhost/zm I now get this error.

Warning: Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for character class at offset 31 in /usr/lib/zm/html/zm_config.php on line 34

It seems we are almost there. What should I try next?

Sorry, in rpm the previous variant of a patch is by mistake placed.: (Has made zm-1.19.5-2. FC3.*.rpm, are accessible accordingly in the directories http://oskin.msk.ru/pub/linux/RedHat/My ... e/3/SRPMS/ and http://oskin.msk.ru/pub/linux/RedHat/My ... re/3/RPMS/.

For Mandrake it is possible in zm.spec string
Requires: mysql httpd php php-mysql pcre ffmpeg lame
to replace on
Requires: mysql apache2 php php-mysql pcre ffmpeg lame

Very good. Works like a charm now.

I have posted rpms rebuilt for Mandrake 10.1 for any who would like them.

http://www.elltel.net/melins/RPMS/zm-1. ... k.i586.rpm

And thanks again Serg for this fine contribution.

Hello thanks for your regular contributions and sorry for my poor English, I hope you will understand what I mean, though…

1) I also tried rebuilding on Mandrake 10.1 (fr) and got the same errors as rdmelin

Could you help me how to deal with that problem ?

2) On the other hand, I’d like to change ZM_PATH_WEB="home/www/html/zm"
What can I do?
The best for me would be to start in /etc/zm.conf

Thanks
Ernesto

I found that if you edit the spec file, and change "automake" to "automake -a" you can get past the "automake: configure.in: required file`./config.*' not found" errors.

2) Contents of this directory are in /usr/lib/zm/html, during installation process create simlink to this directory: /var/www/html/zm->/usr/lib/zm/html (it is the standard for RedHat and FC). You can create this simlink in any other directory after installation, for this purpose it is not necessary to change value ZM_PATH_WEB. Change of the directory /usr/lib/zm/html will need change spec file.

rpm packages will be periodically updated and will be accessible in the directories http://oskin.ru/pub/linux/RedHat/MyRPMS ... e/3/SRPMS/ and http://oskin.ru/pub/linux/RedHat/MyRPMS ... re/3/RPMS/, search for them there by name zm-{version}-{release}.FC3.{platform}.rpm

Release 1.20.0 includes the zm.conf changes that Oskin made so will be rpm-able. I've finished it but have a few more things to check out before releasing it. It will be v soon now though.

Hello,
I am looking for some input on what might be the best way to change a value in httpd.conf from the rpm install. I have a customized FC3 single cd (BTW Thankyou oskin for your contribution, I like it alot more than what I had going) with a zm.rpm and customized anaconda installer. I would like to leave the httpd.conf as is unless the zm package is selected. Any ideas?

547,1
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
- Options None
+ Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Thank you,
Cordel
