webcam@videotron:~$ sudo -s
Password:
root@videotron:~# mysqladmin -u webcam -p create zmdbase
Enter password:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'webcam'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

So I have followed all the steps, and here I stalled, it keeps asking me for a password, whether I use user or root password, I get the same error.

So where am I going wrong, thank you in advance, stuck at this point.

Where did you find these directions?

Note I went to mysql help,
and I created usr, password then grant, now I am at stage after reboot
to actually start it,

If you are running a distribution which doesn’t support the zm script, or if you just prefer more direct control, you can now start ZoneMinder by typing

zmpkg.pl start

which, after a few seconds, should return without error. You can subsequently stop and restart everything by changing the ‘start’ parameter to ‘stop’ or ‘restart’.

Now fire up your web browser, point it at your zm.php and off you go.

Question Web browser Point at zm.php Not sure, does not work, anything here I should know or I've missed ?

http://localhost/zm/

This seems to work, problem now is my database is not recognized, at least I am running

Still have some steps to do...

Well by reading the proper steps I created database, set password, have Zoneminder loading on boot, simply cannot detect /dev/video0
I have xawtv and all usefull video4linux tools there, simply see icon in area
so what would be a step to detect devices, in my case 7 cameras.
I am reading through your setup, forum and wiki.
Thanks in advance,
