Debian 9 with Zoneminder 1.30.4
06OCT17 - This procedure has been verified with the Debian 9.1.0.
Note: 23JUN17 - I was able to get the libvlc source to work! I have added the install for vlc-plugin-base which allows the Zoneminder install to complete without errors. However, I have been getting some console errors from VLC. It may be my old camera and you may have good results with libvlc but I consider ffmpeg better to use.
I used Debian 9 net install CD (https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-9.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso).
Install only: web server, SSH server and standard system utilities from tasksel
Login and become root (su root) or prepend sudo to the following commands
If needed check to make sure you are up to date
apt update apt upgrade apt dist-upgrade
Install additional LAMP components Mariadb server (recommended)
apt install php mariadb-server php-mysql apache2-mod-php7.0
Secure Mariadb, create root password et. al.
mysql_secure_installation
NOTE:The MySQL/MariaDB configuration file is located at: /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf To better manage the MariaDB server I recommend you move the config file and replace the default my.cnf symbolic link (this also works for MySQL 5.6).
rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf
cp /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Change Mariadb settings:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Make the following changes:
character-set-server = latin1 collation-server = latin1_swedish_ci
Note: The above settings are actually the Mariadb default. Changing back to default is necessary to avoid errors when logging into Zoneminder. This was added on 01APR17 but is not an April Fool! It may be necessary to align these settings with your regional language.
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Restart Mariadb
service mariadb restart
Install Zoneminder
Add the Deb Multimedia repository. (instructions at: https://deb-multimedia.org/)
Edit sources.list
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add to the end of the file:
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org stretch main non-free
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
After you have added the necessary line in /etc/apt/sources.list the first package to install is deb-multimedia-keyring.
apt update apt install deb-multimedia-keyring
If apt-get can not find the new key, do that :
wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/deb-multimedia-keyring/deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb dpkg -i deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb
Update packages list:
apt update apt upgrade apt dist-upgrade
Install Zoneminder
apt install zoneminder vlc-plugin-base php7.0-gd
Set permissions of /etc/zm/zm.conf to root:www-data 740
chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
Enable Zoneminder service to start at boot
systemctl enable zoneminder.service
Add www-data to the sudo group (to enable use of local video devices)
adduser www-data video
Start Zoneminder
systemctl start zoneminder.service
Check to see that Zoneminder is running
systemctl status zoneminder.service
Enable CGI and Zoneminder configuration in Apache.
a2enmod cgi
a2enmod rewrite
a2enconf zoneminder
Add timezone to PHP
nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and make changes as follows for your time zone. Be sure to remove the ; before date.timezone
[Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = America/New_York
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Change permissions in /usr/share/zoneminder/
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
Restart Apache
service apache2 restart
Open Zoneminder in a web browser (http://server-ip/zm).
Alternate install MySQL Server
Note: Install of MySQL was not tested with the Debian 9.0.0 release but should work based on past experience
apt install php default-mysql-server php-mysql apache2-mod-php7.0
Make a change to MySQL settings: (Note: Your my.cnf may be in another location)
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
In the [mysqld] section add the following
sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Restart MySQL
systemctl restart mysql
Continue with Zoneminder install https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_9_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.4_the_Easy_Way#Install_Zoneminder
