Ubuntu 18.04 with Zoneminder 1.30.4 Preliminary Install Procedure
For upgrade instructions from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 see here:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issues_with_Zoneminder_Installation_on_Ubuntu#Ubuntu_16.04_with_ZM_1.30.4_Upgrade_to_Ubuntu_18.04_with_ZM_1.30.4
Ubuntu 18.04 with LAMP and Zoneminder 1.30.4
Notice: 20APR18 - Zoneminder has been removed from the Ubuntu 18.04, Bionic, repository. PHP updates to version 7.2 also caused some problems which have been resolved (I hope!). This procedure uses a patched install from Zesty along with cakephp and crud updates to work with PHP7.2
Warning!!! This is a preliminary procedure and changes to the nightly build may cause problems.
Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Server Nightly Build (22MAR18) installed with LAMP and OpenSSH Server
To better manage the MySQL server I recommend you copy the sample config file and replace the default my.cnf symbolic link.
This removes the current symbolic link
rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf
This moves the MYSQL Configuration file
cp /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
To change MySQL settings:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
In the [mysqld] section add the following
sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
Note: if you are installing on an existing database server you can use the folowing as an alternate (Thanks to "bodom" for this alternate):
init_connect = 'SET @@sql_mode = CASE CURRENT_USER() WHEN \'zmuser@localhost\' THEN \'NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION\' ELSE @@sql_mode END;'
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Restart MySQL
systemctl restart mysql
Secure MySQL and set root password (Password not set in nightly build). Do not install the password validation plugin as the default Zoneminder password is not strong.
mysql_secure_installation
Dowmload the Zoneminder install package:
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1bZhVcBnlW46SwCnSnZ0sdZzwtOcCiisX' -O zoneminder-1.30.4-bionic-amd64.deb
Note: If needed you can get the file from Onedrive https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApMZyp0q7cregdRym0MrU9BeMP_JUQ or Google Drive https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bZhVcBnlW46SwCnSnZ0sdZzwtOcCiisX
Install Zoneminder - change (user) to the name you use to login.
apt install /home/(user)/zoneminder-1.30.4-bionic-amd64.deb
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
Enable CGI and Zoneminder configuration in Apache.
a2enmod cgi
a2enmod rewrite
a2enconf zoneminder
Add timezone to PHP
nano /etc/php/7.2/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).
Install Zoneminder on Ubuntu 18.04 with shell script
Updated 20APR18
This will install Zoneminder by using a shell script with one basic command (how easy is that!)
I have tested this on Ubuntu 18.04 server x64. You have two options: A Ubuntu Bionic Server with LAMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP) installed or a basic Ubuntu Bionic install, desktop or server, and the script will install Mariadb, Apache2 and PHP. Either script will install everything Zoneminder needs to function and set up Zoneminder!
View the file contents here:
Shell script zm-install-bionic
Copy the contents of the script, open a terminal and run:
nano install
Paste the contents of the script into Nano
Then:
Ctrl + o Ctrl + x
Next run:
chmod 755 zm-install-bionic
Start the script by entering:
./install
Follow the prompts. Things are pretty simple. The timezone will be detected from the OS and added to the php.ini. A modification to my.cnf for Zoneminder will also be done.
Good Luck!
While this script worked for me I can't be responsible if you loose data when you run this. It is intended for a new install not an upgrade.
Ubuntu 18.04 LEMP (NGNIX, Mariadb, PHP)
Start with a basic Ubuntu 18.04 install. You can use a server or desktop install. Do not install LAMP!
Become root
sudo su
Install Ngnix, Mariadb and PHP components
apt install nginx mariadb-server php-fpm php-mysql fcgiwrap
Secure the Mariadb server
mysql_secure_installation
Restart Mariadb
systemctl restart mysql
Edit the php.ini file
nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini
Locate (Ctrl+w) cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 and change to
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
Remember to remove the leading ;
Also fix date. Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and make changes as follows for your time zone. Make sure to remove the ; from the front of 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
Restart php-fpm
systemctl restart php7.2-fpm
Download the Zoneminder install package. This may take a minute to connect
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1bZhVcBnlW46SwCnSnZ0sdZzwtOcCiisX' -O /tmp/zoneminder-1.30.4-bionic-amd64.deb
Install Zoneminder
apt install /tmp/zoneminder-1.30.4-bionic-amd64.deb
Create a new user
adduser www-data video
Fix Permissions
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
Enable and start Zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
Edit the Ngnix default configuration.
nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Locate the line "index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;" and add index.php
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Create a Zoneminder conf file
nano /etc/nginx/zoneminder.conf
Enter the following into the zoneminder.conf file (This file was improved by databoy2k)
location /zm/cgi-bin { gzip off; alias /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; } location /zm { # if ($scheme ~ ^http:){ # rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$host$1 permanent; # } gzip off; alias /usr/share/zoneminder/www; index index.php; location ~ \.php$ { if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; } expires epoch; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock; } location ~ \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico)$ { access_log off; expires 33d; } location /zm/api/ { alias /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api; rewrite ^/zm/api(.+)$ /zm/api/index.php?p=$1 last; } }
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Edit the default sites enabled
nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
In the "server" section after listen [::] :80 default_Server; add
include /etc/nginx/zoneminder.conf;
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Restart Ngnix
service nginx restart
Note: If Nginx gives you an error on restart go back one step and re-enter include /etc/ngnix/zoneminder.conf;
IMPORTANT FINAL STEP: Open Zoneminder in a web browser (http://server-ip/zm). Click on Options - Paths and change PATH_ZMS to /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms
Note: To avoid problems with feeds from multiple cameras "fcgiwrap" should be configured to start at least as many processes as there are cameras. It can be done by adjusting DAEMON_OPTS in "/etc/default/fcgiwrap".
nano /etc/default/fcgiwrap
Enter (change the 1 to the number of cameras)
DAEMON_OPTS="-f -c 1"
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
