yadig? yet another debian install guide - using default stable versions of apache/mysql/php and compiling zm without ffmpeg


1. install debian usings defaults, without software packages

to use the 2.6 kernel (recommended for bttv cards) type in linux26 at the cd-boot prompt. use expert26 for a more verbose 2.6 kernel install, or expert24 for a verbose 2.4 kernel install. here is the debian installation manual if needed: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual


2. login as root and install apache 1.3, mysql server 4.0, php 4.3, required libraries

debian:~# apt-get install apache mysql-server libmysqlclient12-dev php4 php4-mysql g++ make netpbm libssl-dev libjpeg62-dev libmime-perl libwww-perl libarchive-tar-perl libdate-manip-perl libarchive-zip-perl libmime-lite-perl libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libpcre3-dev


3. increase shared memory and reboot

debian:~# echo kernel.shmmax = 134217728 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
debian:~# reboot


4. download, extract, configure zoneminder, import sql structure, create zmuser, compile

debian:~# wget http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.22.1.tar.gz
debian:~# tar -xvzf ZoneMinder-1.22.1.tar.gz
debian:~# cd ZoneMinder-1.22.1
debian:~/ZoneMinder-1.22.1# ./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin --with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data
debian:~/ZoneMinder-1.22.1# mysql mysql < db/zm_create.sql
debian:~/ZoneMinder-1.22.1# mysql mysql
mysql> grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';
mysql> quit
debian:~/ZoneMinder-1.22.1# mysqladmin reload
debian:~/ZoneMinder-1.22.1# make install


5. connect to http://debian/zm and change these options...

System/ZM_AUTH_RELAY - none

Paths/ZM_PATH_ZMS - /cgi-bin/zms


---optional security settings---

6. turn on System/ZM_OPT_USE_AUTH and change the admin password


7. change mysql root password

debian:~# mysqladmin -u root password 'passwordyouwant'


8. install and configure a network time protocol client

debian:~# apt-get install ntpdate
debian:~# echo NTPSERVERS="pool.ntp.org" >> /etc/default/ntpdate


9. install and configure a firewall to only allow incoming http

debian:~# apt-get install firehol
debian:~# firehol-wizard
