Fedora Core 6 Step-by-Step
This short guide takes you through the specific tasks you need to install ZoneMinder 1.22.3 from scratch onto a Fedora Core 6 box. It assumes you have selected the 'Server' and 'Development' package options during install. If you select 'All Packages' then you can probably skip most of the first section. It also assumes you have disabled selinux during installation. If not then you will need to disable it by editing /etc/selinux/config or create appropriate policies for the various system components to allow ZoneMinder to run.
The instructions assume a database name of 'zm', a database user of 'zmuser' and a database password of 'zmpass'. You should change these to something more secure in the ZoneMinder 'configure' line and the database 'grant' line.
