Hi together,
here's a HowTo for installing ZM 1.22.3 on Sabayon Linux 3.2.

This is by the way the fastest methode to get a working ZM.
I've needed less then 1,5 hours for installing Sabayon and ZoneMinder.

What is Sabayone Linux?

SabayonLinux is based on the source-based distro named Gentoo - http://gentoo.org. Gentoo is a highly customizable distro which we have used as our base and using their excellent development techniques, we have created a pre-configured distribution with the tenets of Performance, Versatility, and Stability. If you have any more question about what Gentoo is and its philosophy, please visit their website.

Download the Sabayon Linux miniEdition, burn it, and install it.

Installing ZM
Open a Terminal and do the following Steps:

Code: Select all

# emerge --sync
# emerge portage

Configure MySQL

1.] Edit the /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Search for:

Code: Select all

bind-address				= 127.0.0.1

Otherwise you don't have permission for remote access on your MySQL Database.

   mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zm.* TO 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass'; 

   mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zm.* TO 'zmuser'@'%' identified by 'zmpass'; 

   mysql> quit 

# mysqladmin reload

Configure ZoneMinder

Edit the /etc/zm.conf

Change

Code: Select all

# ZM_PATH_BUILD=/var/tmp/portage/www-misc/zoneminder-1.22.3/work/ZoneMinder-1.22.3

Hi,

you can tray to disable config_protect in /etc/make.conf

Searching for entries like:

CONFIG_PROTECT=

And uncomment this lines with #

Than do emerge -av zoneminder again.
