SuSE 10.1 and ZoneMinder

2006-10-19T22:18:31Z

BarryH: /* Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root. */

Dgsconseil was kind enough to write a step-by-step
newbie kit to install ZoneMinder under SUSE
10.0 OSS. I copied it and modified it to for
SuSE 10.1 with a GUI and the KDE. 
 

This is only a short How-To on how I installed SuSE and
ZoneMinder software on SUSE 10.1 OSS,
it is not intended to be a reference because I do not specify any of the
security rules or optimizations needed for a production server. I just specify the main steps to get Zone
Minder Running. 
 
By the
way, this is '''not''' the smallest installation possible. It’s just what I used and it worked. It seemed that if I skipped any of the additional packages, I’d
run into trouble. 
 

=== Fresh install of SuSE 10.1 OSS (CD install)===
Base installation with KDE Desktop and additional packages
 

;Additional Software Packages chosen during install:
:*Graphical Base system
:*KDE Desktop Environment
:*All of KDE
:*Help and Supports Docs
:*Office applications
:*Multimedia
:*Simple Web Server with Apache2
:*LDAP Server and Tools
:*Network and Server
:*C/C++ Complier and Tools
:*Kernel Development
:*KDE Development
:*TCL/TK development system
:*Java
:*Experienced user
:*LaTex, SGML and XML

 
''If using the firewall, add HTTP Server to the Allowed Services list, if you want to access ZoneMinder with a web browser.''
 
 

'''Once the Installation is finished, open the YAST control center. (Under System)'''
 

;If you have an internet connection - In YAST, add packman as an http installation source(used to install ffmpeg)
:Type : HTTP
:Server : packman.unixheads.com
:Path : suse/10.1

=== Configure via YAST Software Management ===

;Verify that these packages are installed, Install any that are missing (Enter each name in Search box)

===Update perl with CPAN and install perl packages===
I've done all off the perl related installation under user root because of problems with cpan packages installation. It seems like a slow process, have patience.
 
 
From within a Terminal window:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Bundle::CPAN
reload CPAN
install Archive::Tar (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install Archive::Zip (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install MIME::Lite
install MIME::Tools
install DateTime
install Date::Manip updated 2006-03-04 thanx to mickecarlsson
install Bundle::libnet
install Device::SerialPort
install Astro::SunTime Updated 2006 03 24 correct spelling error on SunTime (thanx to mickecarlsson)
install X10
 

===Configure servers to be started at boot time===
From within a terminal window:
su -
cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
ln -s ../apache2 S98apache2
ln -s ../apache2 K01apache2
ln -s ../mysql S98mysql
ln -s ../mysql K01mysql

===Start servers manually===
From within a terminal window:
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start

===Download and install latest Zoneminder release (v1.22.2) :===

'''Download and save ZoneMinder tarball from:''' 
http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz

'''Extract tarball''' 
From within a Terminal window, inside directory that ZoneMinder download was saved to
tar zxvf ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz
cd ZoneMinder-1.22.2

===Download and apply the v1.22.2 patch for ffmpeg from Wiki===
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/1.22.2_Patches
 

'''To apply the patch you should do the following'''
:* Download the patch and move a copy to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Open a command shell (terminal window)
:* Change directory to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Apply the patch by typing the following command
:patch -p0 < zm-1.22.2-ffmpeg.patch
:* Check that the patch is applied correctly and you do not get any rejects
:* If necessary rebuild, then reinstall

===Configure ZoneMinder===
Within a Terminal window, in ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
./configure --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webgroup=www --with-webuser=wwwrun ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zm ZM_DB_PASS=zm

===Configure MySQL===

Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory and Login to MySQL (PW is probably blank)
mysql -h localhost -u root -p

'''Under the MySQL prompt -'''
(Entering Each line will echo a bunch of lines, just ignore them)
source db/zm_create.sql;
grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zm'@localhost identified by 'zm';
flush privileges;
quit

===Compile ZoneMinder===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
Now compile and install this nice piece of software !
make
sudo make install

===Configure ZoneMinder to be started at boot time===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
su -
# from zoneminder source directory
cp scripts/zm /etc/rc.d
cd /etc/rc.d
chmod +x zm
cd rc5.d
ln -s ../zm S99zm
ln -s ../zm K00zm

===Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root.===

;Edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)
: '''remove''' the line related to include functions
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_success by echo success
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
: '''save''' the changes (ie :x!)

===Make minor changes in the htdocs folder===
Copy the /srv/www/htdocs/zm.php file on top of the /srv/www/htdocs/index.php file. Rename or delete the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html file

===Deal with the Shared Memory problem===
Add the following lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf file: 
(I chose 256,000,000 because my cams are 640x480)
# Memory modifications for ZoneMinder
kernel.shmall = 256000000
kernel.shmmax = 256000000

'''Now you can reboot your computer to apply changes'''

Well we are at the end of the process...
 
Start all servers if they are not already started when you boot your computer :
From within a Terminal window
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start
sudo zmpkg.pl start

Now open your web browser and point to http://localhost/
If that doesn’t work, try http://localhost/zm.php

===Create your monitor and start viewing===

Here are some options I use when configuring a monitor for my Axis IP camera at 640x480, color.:

;Under the General Tab
:*Source Type = Remote
:*Function = Modetect
:*Enabled = Checked
:*Linked Monitors = (leave it blank)
:*Maximum FPS = 4.0
:*Alarm Maximum FPS = 8.0
 

;Under the Source Tab
:*Remote host name = IP of camera (i.e. 192.168.3.2)
:*Remote Host Port = 80
:*Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
:*Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
:*Capture Width = 640
:*Capture Height = 480
 
If you want to utilize mpeg instead of jpeg, use this for the host path: 
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?
 

;Additional Information:
:ZoneMinder Logs are in /tmp
:zmaudit.log
:zmupdate.log
:zmwatch.log => take attention to this one because the shared memory problem is reported here
:zmpkg.log
:zmdc.log
 
Apache2 Logs are in /var/logs

'''Startup Issues''' - I had an issue on boot-up where my ZoneMinder appeared to be starting before MySQL was available. This caused ZoneMinder to fail to start. To fix this (there's probably a better way) I just told ZoneMinder to delay for 30 seconds before starting. To do this, enter the following lines just above loadconf() in the /etc/rc.d/zm file:
 
#Delay for 30 seconds to wait for MySQL

===Update perl with CPAN and install perl packages===
I've done all off the perl related installation under user root because of problems with cpan packages installation. It seems like a slow process, have patience.
 
 
From within a Terminal window:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Bundle::CPAN
reload CPAN
install Archive::Tar (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install Archive::Zip (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install MIME::Lite
install MIME::Tools
install DateTime
install Date::Manip updated 2006-03-04 thanx to mickecarlsson
install Bundle::libnet
install Device::SerialPort
install Astro::SunTime Updated 2006 03 24 correct spelling error on SunTime (thanx to mickecarlsson)

ln -s ../apache2 S98apache2
ln -s ../apache2 K01apache2
ln -s ../mysql S98mysql
ln -s ../mysql K01mysql

===Start servers manually===
From within a terminal window:
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start

===Download and install latest Zoneminder release (v1.22.2) :===

'''Download and save ZoneMinder tarball from:''' 
http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz

'''Extract tarball''' 
From within a Terminal window, inside directory that ZoneMinder download was saved to
tar zxvf ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz
cd ZoneMinder-1.22.2

===Download and apply the v1.22.2 patch for ffmpeg from Wiki===
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/1.22.2_Patches
 

'''To apply the patch you should do the following'''
:* Download the patch and move a copy to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Open a command shell (terminal window)
:* Change directory to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Apply the patch by typing the following command
:patch -p0 < zm-1.22.2-ffmpeg.patch
:* Check that the patch is applied correctly and you do not get any rejects
:* If necessary rebuild, then reinstall

===Configure ZoneMinder===
Within a Terminal window, in ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
./configure --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webgroup=www --with-webuser=wwwrun ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zm ZM_DB_PASS=zm

===Configure MySQL===

Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory and Login to MySQL (PW is probably blank)
mysql -h localhost -u root -p

'''Under the MySQL prompt -'''
(Entering Each line will echo a bunch of lines, just ignore them)
source db/zm_create.sql;
grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zm'@localhost identified by 'zm';
flush privileges;
quit

===Compile ZoneMinder===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
Now compile and install this nice piece of software !
make
sudo make install

===Configure ZoneMinder to be started at boot time===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
su -
# from zoneminder source directory
cp scripts/zm /etc/rc.d
cd /etc/rc.d
chmod +x zm
cd rc5.d
ln -s ../zm S99zm
ln -s ../zm K00zm

===Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root.===

;Edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)
: '''remove''' the line related to include functions
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_success by echo success
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
: '''save''' the changes (ie :x!)

===Make minor changes in the htdocs folder===
Copy the /srv/www/htdocs/zm.php file on top of the /srv/www/htdocs/index.php file. Rename or delete the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html file

===Deal with the Shared Memory problem===
Add the following lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf file: 
(I chose 256,000,000 because my cams are 640x480)
# Memory modifications for ZoneMinder
kernel.shmall = 256000000
kernel.shmmax = 256000000

'''Now you can reboot your computer to apply changes'''

Well we are at the end of the process...
 
Start all servers if they are not already started when you boot your computer :
From within a Terminal window
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start
sudo zmpkg.pl start

Now open your web browser and point to http://localhost/
If that doesn’t work, try http://localhost/zm.php

===Create your monitor and start viewing===

Here are some options I use when configuring a monitor for my Axis IP camera at 640x480, color.:

;Under the General Tab
:*Source Type = Remote
:*Function = Modetect
:*Enabled = Checked
:*Linked Monitors = (leave it blank)
:*Maximum FPS = 4.0
:*Alarm Maximum FPS = 8.0
 

;Under the Source Tab
:*Remote host name = IP of camera (i.e. 192.168.3.2)
:*Remote Host Port = 80
:*Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
:*Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
:*Capture Width = 640
:*Capture Height = 480
 
If you want to utilize mpeg instead of jpeg, use this for the host path: 
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?

SuSE 10.1 and ZoneMinder

2006-10-13T15:30:12Z

BarryH: /* Download and install latest Zoneminder release (v1.22.2) : */

Dgsconseil was kind enough to write a step-by-step
newbie kit to install ZoneMinder under SUSE
10.0 OSS. I copied it and modified it to for
SuSE 10.1 with a GUI and the KDE. 
 

This is only a short How-To on how I installed SuSE and
ZoneMinder software on SUSE 10.1 OSS,
it is not intended to be a reference because I do not specify any of the
security rules or optimizations needed for a production server. I just specify the main steps to get Zone
Minder Running. 
 
By the
way, this is '''not''' the smallest installation possible. It’s just what I used and it worked. It seemed that if I skipped any of the additional packages, I’d
run into trouble. 
 

=== Fresh install of SuSE 10.1 OSS (CD install)===
Base installation with KDE Desktop and additional packages
 

;Additional Software Packages chosen during install:
:*Graphical Base system
:*KDE Desktop Environment
:*All of KDE
:*Help and Supports Docs
:*Office applications
:*Multimedia
:*Simple Web Server with Apache2
:*LDAP Server and Tools
:*Network and Server
:*C/C++ Complier and Tools
:*Kernel Development
:*KDE Development
:*TCL/TK development system
:*Java
:*Experienced user
:*LaTex, SGML and XML

 
''If using the firewall, add HTTP Server to the Allowed Services list, if you want to access ZoneMinder with a web browser.''
 
 

'''Once the Installation is finished, open the YAST control center. (Under System)'''
 

;If you have an internet connection - In YAST, add packman as an http installation source(used to install ffmpeg)
:Type : HTTP
:Server : packman.unixheads.com
:Path : suse/10.1

=== Configure via YAST Software Management ===

ln -s ../zm S99zm
ln -s ../zm K00zm

===Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root.===

;Edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)
: '''remove''' the line related to include functions
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_success by echo success
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
: '''save''' the changes (ie :x!)

===Minor changes in the htdocs folder===
Copy the /srv/www/htdocs/zm.php file on top of the /srv/www/htdocs/index.php file. Rename or delete the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html file

===Deal with the Shared Memory problem===
Add the following lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf file: 
(I chose 256,000,000 because my cams are 640x480)
# Memory modifications for ZoneMinder
kernel.shmall = 256000000
kernel.shmmax = 256000000

'''Now you can reboot your computer to apply changes'''

Well we are at the end of the process...
 
Start all servers if they are not already started when you boot your computer :
From within a Terminal window
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start
sudo zmpkg.pl start

Now open your web browser and point to http://localhost/
If that doesn’t work, try http://localhost/zm.php

===Create your monitor and start playing===

Here are some options I use when configuring a monitor for my Axis IP camera at 640x480, color.:

;Under the General Tab
:*Source Type = Remote
:*Function = Modetect
:*Enabled = Checked
:*Linked Monitors = (leave it blank)
:*Maximum FPS = 4.0
:*Alarm Maximum FPS = 8.0
 

;Under the Source Tab
:*Remote host name = IP of camera (i.e. 192.168.3.2)
:*Remote Host Port = 80
:*Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
:*Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
:*Capture Width = 640
:*Capture Height = 480
 
If you want to utilize mpeg instead of jpeg, use this for the host path: 
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?

SuSE 10.1 and ZoneMinder

2006-10-12T21:01:05Z

BarryH: /* Deal with the Shared Memory problem */

Dgsconseil was kind enough to write a step-by-step
newbie kit to install ZoneMinder under SUSE
10.0 OSS. I copied it and modified it to for
SuSE 10.1 with a GUI and the KDE. 
 

This is only a short How-To on how I installed SuSE and
ZoneMinder software on SUSE 10.1 OSS,
it is not intended to be a reference because I do not specify any of the
security rules or optimizations needed for a production server. I just specify the main steps to get Zone
Minder Running. 
 
By the
way, this is '''not''' the smallest installation possible. It’s just what I used and it worked. It seemed that if I skipped any of the additional packages, I’d
run into trouble. 

=== Fresh install SuSE 10.1 OSS (CD install)===
Base installation with KDE Desktop and additional packages
 

;Additional Software Packages chosen during install:
:*Graphical Base system
:*KDE Desktop Environment
:*All of KDE
:*Help and Supports Docs
:*Office applications
:*Multimedia
:*Simple Web Server with Apache2
:*LDAP Server and Tools
:*Network and Server
:*C/C++ Complier and Tools
:*Kernel Development
:*KDE Development
:*TCL/TK development system
:*Java
:*Experienced user
:*LaTex, SGML and XML

 
''If using the firewall, add HTTP Server to the Allowed Services list, if you want to access ZoneMinder with a web browser.''
 
 

'''Once the Installation is finished, open the YAST control center. (Under System)'''
 

;If you have an internet connection - In YAST, add packman as an http installation source(used to install ffmpeg)
:Type : HTTP
:Server : packman.unixheads.com
:Path : suse/10.1

=== Go into YAST Software Management ===

;Verify that these packages are installed, Install any that are missing (Enter each name in Search box)

===Updating perl CPAN and installing perl packages===
I've done all off the perl related installation under user root because of problems with cpan packages installation. It seems like a slow process, have patience.
 
 
From within a Terminal window:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Bundle::CPAN
reload CPAN
install Archive::Tar (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install Archive::Zip (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install MIME::Lite
install MIME::Tools
install DateTime
install Date::Manip updated 2006-03-04 thanx to mickecarlsson
install Bundle::libnet

===Downloading and installing latest Zoneminder release (v1.22.2) :===

'''Download and save ZoneMinder tarball from:'''
http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz

'''Extract tarball''' 
From within a Terminal window, inside directory that ZoneMinder download was saved to
tar zxvf ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz
cd ZoneMinder-1.22.2

===Download and apply the v1.22.2 patch for ffmpeg from Wiki===
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/1.22.2_Patches
 

'''To apply the patch you should do the following'''
:* Download the patch and move a copy to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Open a command shell (terminal window)
:* Change directory to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Apply the patch by typing the following command
:patch -p0 < zm-1.22.2-ffmpeg.patch
:* Check that the patch is applied correctly and you do not get any rejects
:* If necessary rebuild, then reinstall

===Configuration Time===
Within a Terminal window, in ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory

===Configure MySQL===

Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory and Login to MySQL (PW is probably blank)
mysql -h localhost -u root -p

'''Under the MySQL prompt -'''
(Entering Each line will echo a bunch of lines, just ignore them)
source db/zm_create.sql;
grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zm'@localhost identified by 'zm';
flush privileges;

===Updating perl CPAN and installing perl packages===
I've done all off the perl related installation under user root because of problems with cpan packages installation. It seems like a slow process, have patience.
 
 
From within a Terminal window:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Bundle::CPAN
reload CPAN
install Archive::Tar (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install Archive::Zip (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install MIME::Lite
install MIME::Tools
install DateTime
install Date::Manip updated 2006-03-04 thanx to mickecarlsson
install Bundle::libnet
install Device::SerialPort
install Astro::SunTime Updated 2006 03 24 correct spelling error on SunTime (thanx to mickecarlsson)
install X10
 

===Configure servers to be started at boot time===
From within a terminal window:
su -
cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
ln -s ../apache2 S98apache2
ln -s ../apache2 K01apache2
ln -s ../mysql S98mysql
ln -s ../mysql K01mysql

===Start servers manually===
From within a terminal window:
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start

===Downloading and installing latest Zoneminder release (v1.22.2) :===

'''Download and save ZoneMinder tarball from:'''
http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz

'''Extract tarball''' 
From within a Terminal window, inside directory that ZoneMinder download was saved to
tar zxvf ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz
cd ZoneMinder-1.22.2

===Download and apply the v1.22.2 patch for ffmpeg from Wiki===
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/1.22.2_Patches
 

'''To apply the patch you should do the following'''
:* Download the patch and move a copy to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Open a command shell (terminal window)
:* Change directory to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Apply the patch by typing the following command
:patch -p0 < zm-1.22.2-ffmpeg.patch
:* Check that the patch is applied correctly and you do not get any rejects
:* If necessary rebuild, then reinstall

===Configuration Time===
Within a Terminal window, in ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
./configure --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webgroup=www --with-webuser=wwwrun ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zm ZM_DB_PASS=zm

===Configure MySQL===

Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory and Login to MySQL (PW is probably blank)
mysql -h localhost -u root -p

Under MySQL prompt type
(Entering Each line will echo a bunch of lines, just ignore them)
source db/zm_create.sql; grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zm'@localhost identified by 'zm'; flush privileges; quit

===Compile ZoneMinder===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
Now compile and install this nice piece of software !
make
sudo make install

===Configure ZoneMinder to be started at boot time===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
su -
# from zoneminder source directory
cp scripts/zm /etc/rc.d cd /etc/rc.d
chmod +x zm
cd rc5.d
ln -s ../zm S99zm
ln -s ../zm K00zm

===Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root.===

;Edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)
: '''remove''' the line related to include functions
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_success by echo success
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
: '''save''' the changes (ie :x!)

===Minor changes in the htdocs folder===
Copy the /srv/www/htdocs/zm.php file on top of the /srv/www/htdocs/index.php file. Rename or delete the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html file

===Deal with the Shared Memory problem===
Add the following lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
(I chose 256,000,000 because my cams are 640x480)
# Memory modifications for ZoneMinder
kernel.shmall = 256000000
kernel.shmmax = 256000000

'''Now you can reboot your computer to apply changes'''

Well we are at the end of the process...
 
Start all servers if they are not already started when you boot your computer :
From within a Terminal window
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start
sudo zmpkg.pl start

Now open your web browser and point to http://localhost/
If that doesn’t work, try http://localhost/zm.php

===Create your monitor and start playing===

Here are some options I use when configuring a monitor for my Axis IP camera at 640x480, color.:

;Under the General Tab
:*Source Type = Remote
:*Function = Modetect
:*Enabled = Checked
:*Linked Monitors = (leave it blank)
:*Maximum FPS = 4.0
:*Alarm Maximum FPS = 8.0

;Under the Source Tab
:*Remote host name = IP of camera (i.e. 192.168.3.2)
:*Remote Host Port = 80
:*Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
:*Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
:*Capture Width = 640
:*Capture Height = 480
 
If you want to utilize mpeg instead of jpeg, use this for the host path: 
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?
 

;Additional Information:
:ZoneMinder Logs are in /tmp
:zmaudit.log

SuSE 10.1 and ZoneMinder

2006-10-12T20:57:47Z

BarryH: /* Configuration Time */

Dgsconseil was kind enough to write a step-by-step
newbie kit to install ZoneMinder under SUSE
10.0 OSS. I copied it and modified it to for
SuSE 10.1 with a GUI and the KDE. 
 

This is only a short How-To on how I installed SuSE and
ZoneMinder software on SUSE 10.1 OSS,
it is not intended to be a reference because I do not specify any of the
security rules or optimizations needed for a production server. I just specify the main steps to get Zone
Minder Running. 
 
By the
way, this is '''not''' the smallest installation possible. It’s just what I used and it worked. It seemed that if I skipped any of the additional packages, I’d
run into trouble. 

=== Fresh install SuSE 10.1 OSS (CD install)===
Base installation with KDE Desktop and additional packages
 

;Additional Software Packages chosen during install:
:*Graphical Base system
:*KDE Desktop Environment
:*All of KDE
:*Help and Supports Docs

:*Experienced user
:*LaTex, SGML and XML

 
''If using the firewall, add HTTP Server to the Allowed Services list, if you want to access ZoneMinder with a web browser.''

./configure --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webgroup=www --with-webuser=wwwrun ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zm ZM_DB_PASS=zm

===Configure MySQL===

Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory and Login to MySQL (PW is blank)
mysql -h localhost -u root -p

Under MySQL prompt type
(Entering Each line will echo a bunch of lines, just ignore them)
source db/zm_create.sql; grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zm'@localhost identified by 'zm'; flush privileges; quit

===Compile ZoneMinder===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
Now compile and install this nice piece of software !
make
sudo make install

===Configure ZoneMinder to be started at boot time===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
su -
# from zoneminder source directory
cp scripts/zm /etc/rc.d cd /etc/rc.d
chmod +x zm
cd rc5.d
ln -s ../zm S99zm
ln -s ../zm K00zm

===Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root.===

;Edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)
: '''remove''' the line related to include functions
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_success by echo success
: '''replace''' all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
: '''save''' the changes (ie :x!)

===Minor changes in the htdocs folder===
Copy the /srv/www/htdocs/zm.php file on top of the /srv/www/htdocs/index.php file. Rename or delete the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html file

===Deal with the Shared Memory problem===
Add the following lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
(I chose 256,000,000 because my cams are 640x480)
# Memory modifications for ZoneMinder
kernel.shmall = 256000000
kernel.shmmax = 256000000

'''Now you can reboot your computer to apply changes'''

Well we are at the end of the process...
 
Start all servers if they are not already started when you boot your computer :
From within a Terminal window
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start
sudo zmpkg.pl start

Now open your web browser and point to http://localhost/
If that doesn’t work, try http://localhost/zm.php

===Create your monitor and start playing===

Here are some options I use when configuring a monitor for my Axis IP camera at 640x480, color.:

;Under the General Tab
:*Source Type = Remote
:*Function = Modetect
:*Enabled = Checked
:*Linked Monitors = (leave it blank)
:*Maximum FPS = 4.0
:*Alarm Maximum FPS = 8.0

;Under the Source Tab
:*Remote host name = IP of camera (i.e. 192.168.3.2)
:*Remote Host Port = 80
:*Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
:*Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
:*Capture Width = 640
:*Capture Height = 480
 
If you want to utilize mpeg instead of jpeg, use this for the host path: 
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?

SuSE 10.1 and ZoneMinder

2006-10-12T16:26:19Z

BarryH: /* Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root. */

Dgsconseil was kind enough to write a step-by-step
newbie kit to install ZoneMinder under SUSE
10.0 OSS. I copied it and modified it to for
SuSE 10.1 with a GUI and the KDE. 
 

This is only a short How-To on how I installed SuSE and
ZoneMinder software on SUSE 10.1 OSS,
it is not intended to be a reference because I do not specify any of the
security rules or optimizations needed for a production server. I just specify the main steps to get Zone
Minder Running. 
 
By the
way, this is '''not''' the smallest installation possible. It’s just what I used and it worked. It seemed that if I skipped any of the additional packages, I’d
run into trouble. 

=== Fresh install SuSE 10.1 OSS (CD install)===
Base installation with KDE Desktop and additional packages
 

;Additional Software Packages chosen during install:
:*Graphical Base system
:*KDE Desktop Environment
:*All of KDE
:*Help and Supports Docs
:*Office applications
:*Multimedia
:*Simple Web Server with Apache2
:*LDAP Server and Tools
:*Network and Server
:*C/C++ Complier and Tools
:*Kernel Development
:*KDE Development
:*TCL/TK development system
:*Java
:*Experienced user
:*LaTex, SGML and XML

 
''If using the firewall, add HTTP Server to the Allowed Services list, if you want to access ZoneMinder with a web browser.''
 
 

'''Once the Installation is finished, open the YAST control center. (Under System)'''
 

;If you have an internet connection - In YAST, add packman as an http installation source(used to install ffmpeg)
:Type : HTTP
:Server : packman.unixheads.com
:Path : suse/10.1

=== Go into YAST Software Management ===

;Verify that these packages are installed, Install any that are missing (Enter each name in Search box)

cd ZoneMinder-1.22.2

===Download and apply the v1.22.2 patch for ffmpeg from Wiki===
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/1.22.2_Patches
 

'''To apply the patch you should do the following'''
:* Download the patch and move a copy to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Open a command shell (terminal window)
:* Change directory to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Apply the patch by typing
:patch -p0 < zm-1.22.2-ffmpeg.patch

SuSE 10.1 and ZoneMinder

2006-10-12T16:24:35Z

BarryH: /* Configure ZoneMinder to be started at boot time */

Dgsconseil was kind enough to write a step-by-step
newbie kit to install ZoneMinder under SUSE
10.0 OSS. I copied it and modified it to for
SuSE 10.1 with a GUI and the KDE. 
 

This is only a short How-To on how I installed SuSE and
ZoneMinder software on SUSE 10.1 OSS,
it is not intended to be a reference because I do not specify any of the
security rules or optimizations needed for a production server. I just specify the main steps to get Zone
Minder Running. 
 
By the
way, this is '''not''' the smallest installation possible. It’s just what I used and it worked. It seemed that if I skipped any of the additional packages, I’d
run into trouble. 

=== Fresh install SuSE 10.1 OSS (CD install)===
Base installation with KDE Desktop and additional packages
 

;Additional Software Packages chosen during install:
:*Graphical Base system
:*KDE Desktop Environment
:*All of KDE
:*Help and Supports Docs
:*Office applications
:*Multimedia
:*Simple Web Server with Apache2
:*LDAP Server and Tools
:*Network and Server
:*C/C++ Complier and Tools
:*Kernel Development
:*KDE Development
:*TCL/TK development system
:*Java
:*Experienced user
:*LaTex, SGML and XML

 
''If using the firewall, add HTTP Server to the Allowed Services list, if you want to access ZoneMinder with a web browser.''
 
 

'''Once the Installation is finished, open the YAST control center. (Under System)'''
 

;If you have an internet connection - In YAST, add packman as an http installation source(used to install ffmpeg)
:Type : HTTP
:Server : packman.unixheads.com
:Path : suse/10.1

=== Go into YAST Software Management ===

;Verify that these packages are installed, Install any that are missing (Enter each name in Search box)

===Updating perl CPANand installing perl packages===
I've done all off the perl related installation under user root because of problems with cpan packages installation. It seems like a slow process, have patience.
 
 
From within a Terminal window:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Bundle::CPAN
reload CPAN
install Archive::Tar (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install Archive::Zip (seems to be optional => depend on the way you install yourdistro)
install MIME::Lite
install MIME::Tools
install DateTime
install Date::Manip updated 2006-03-04 thanx to mickecarlsson
install Bundle::libnet
install Device::SerialPort
install Astro::SunTime Updated 2006 03 24 correct spelling error on SunTime (thanx to mickecarlsson)
install X10
 

===Configure servers to be started at boot time===
From within a terminal window:
su -
cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
ln -s ../apache2 S98apache2
ln -s ../apache2 K01apache2
ln -s ../mysql S98mysql
ln -s ../mysql K01mysql

===Start servers manually===
From within a terminal window:
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start

===Downloading and installing latest Zoneminder release (v1.22.2) :===

'''Download and save ZoneMinder tarball from:'''
http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz

'''Extract tarball''' 
From within a Terminal window, inside directory that ZoneMinder download was saved to
tar zxvf ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz
cd ZoneMinder-1.22.2

===Download and apply the v1.22.2 patch for ffmpeg from Wiki===
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/1.22.2_Patches
 

'''To apply the patch you should do the following'''
:* Download the patch and move a copy to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Open a command shell (terminal window)
:* Change directory to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Apply the patch by typing
:patch -p0 < zm-1.22.2-ffmpeg.patch
:* Check that the patch is applied correctly and you do not get any rejects
:* If necessary rebuild, then reinstall

===Configuration Time===
Within Terminal window, in ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
./configure --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webgroup=www --with-webuser=wwwrun ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zm ZM_DB_PASS=zm

===Configure MySQL===

Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory and Login to MySQL (PW is blank)
mysql -h localhost -u root -p

Under MySQL prompt type
(Entering Each line will echo a bunch of lines, just ignore them)
source db/zm_create.sql; grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zm'@localhost identified by 'zm'; flush privileges; quit

===Compile ZoneMinder===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
Now compile and install this nice piece of software !
make
sudo make install

===Configure ZoneMinder to be started at boot time===
Within a Terminal window, Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory
su -
# from zoneminder source directory
cp scripts/zm /etc/rc.d cd /etc/rc.d
chmod +x zm
cd rc5.d
ln -s ../zm S99zm
ln -s ../zm K00zm

===Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root.===

===Edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)===
'''remove''' the line related to include functions
'''replace''' all occurences of echo_success by echo success
'''replace''' all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
'''save''' the changes (ie :x!)

===Minor changes in the htdocs folder===
Copy the /srv/www/htdocs/zm.php file on top of the /srv/www/htdocs/index.php file. Rename or delete the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html file

===Deal with the Shared Memory problem===
Add the following lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
(I chose 256,000,000 because my cams are 640x480)
# Memory modifications for ZoneMinder
kernel.shmall = 256000000
kernel.shmmax = 256000000

'''Now you can reboot your computer to apply changes'''

Well we are at the end of the process...
 
Start all servers if they are not already started when you boot your computer :
From within a Terminal window
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start
sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start
sudo zmpkg.pl start

Now open your web browser and point to http://localhost/
If that doesn’t work, try http://localhost/zm.php

===Create your monitor and start playing===

Here are some options I use when configuring a monitor for my Axis IP camera at 640x480, color.:

;Under the General Tab
:*Source Type = Remote
:*Function = Modetect
:*Enabled = Checked
:*Linked Monitors = (leave it blank)
:*Maximum FPS = 4.0
:*Alarm Maximum FPS = 8.0

;Under the Source Tab
:*Remote host name = IP of camera (i.e. 192.168.3.2)
:*Remote Host Port = 80
:*Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
:*Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
:*Capture Width = 640
:*Capture Height = 480
 
If you want to utilize mpeg instead of jpeg, use this for the host path: 
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?

'''Patch'''

;To apply the patch you should do the following
:* Download the patch and move a copy to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Open a command shell (terminal window)
:* Change directory to your ZoneMinder build directory
:* Apply the patch by typing
:* patch -p0 < zm-1.22.2-ffmpeg.patch
:* Check that the patch is applied correctly and you do not get any rejects
:* If necessary rebuild, then reinstall

Now Configuration Time !
Code: (be sure you are in ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory)
./configure --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webgroup=www --with-webuser=wwwrun ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zm ZM_DB_PASS=zm

Make sure you’re in the ZoneMinder-1.22.2 directory and Login to MySQL (PW is blank)
Code:
mysql -h localhost -u root -p

Under MySQL prompt type
Code: (Entering Each line will echo a bunch of lines, just ignore them)
source db/zm_create.sql; grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zm'@localhost identified by 'zm'; flush privileges; quit

Now compile and install this nice piece of software !
Code:
make sudo make install

Configure ZoneMinder to be started at boot time
Code:
su - # from zoneminder source directory cp scripts/zm /etc/rc.d cd /etc/rc.d chmod +x zm cd rc5.d ln -s ../zm S99zm ln -s ../zm K00zm

Logoff and logon as root, or create a new session as root.

edit /etc/rc.d/zm with your favorite text editor (kwrite ?)
remove the line related to include functions
replace all occurences of echo_success by echo success
replace all occurences of echo_failure by echo failure
save the changes (ie :x!)

Copy the /srv/www/htdocs/zm.php file on top of the /srv/www/htdocs/index.php file. Rename or delete the /srv/www/htdocs/index.html file

Deal with the Shared Memory problem
Add the following lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
Code: (I chose 256,000,000 because my cams are 640x480)
# Memory modifications for ZoneMinderkernel.shmall = 256000000 kernel.shmmax = 256000000

Now you can reboot your computer to apply changes

Well we are at the end of the process
Start all servers if they are not allready started when you boot your computer :
Code:
sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 start sudo /etc/rc.d/mysql start sudo zmpkg.pl start

Now open your web browser and point to [url]http://localhost/[/url]
If that doesn’t work, try [url]http://localhost/zm.php[/url]

Create your monitor and start playing !

Here are some options I use when configuring a monitor for my Axis IP camera at 640x480, color.:

Under the General Tab
Source Type = Remote
Function = Modetect
Enabled = Checked
Linked Monitors = (leave it blank)
Maximum FPS = 4.0
Alarm Maximum FPS = 8.0

Under the Source Tab
Remote host name = IP of camera (i.e. 192.168.3.2)
Remote Host Port = 80
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
Capture Width = 640
Capture Height = 480

If you want to utilize mpeg instead of jpeg, use this for the host path:
Remote Host Path = /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?

Additional Information:
ZoneMinder Logs are in /tmp
zmaudit.log

SuSE 10.1 and ZoneMinder

2006-10-12T14:23:34Z

BarryH:

Dgsconseil was kind enough to write a step-by-step newbie kit to install ZoneMinder under SUSE 10.0 OSS. I copied it and modified it to for SuSE 10.1 with a GUI and the KDE.

This is only a short How-To on how I installed SuSE and ZoneMinder software on SUSE 10.1 OSS, it is not intended to be a reference because I do not specify any of the security rules or optimizations needed for a production server. I just specify the main steps to get Zone Minder Running.

By the way, this is '''not''' the smallest installation possible. It’s just what I used and it worked. It seemed that if I skipped any of the additional packages, I’d run into trouble.

<nowiki>'''Fresh install Suse 10.1 OSS (CD install) ""
"'Base installation with KDE Desktop and additional packages'"

'''Additional Software Packages chosen during install:'''
Graphical Base system

If using the firewall, add HTTP Server to the Allowed Services list, if you want to access ZoneMinder with a web browser.

Once the Installation is finished, open the YAST control center. (Under System)

If you have an internet connection: In YAST, add packman as an http installation source

Updating perl CPANand installing perl packages
I've done all off the perl related installation under user root because of problems with cpan packages installation. It seems like a slow process, have patience.
Code:
