Zoneminder 1.30.4 made it into the "official" Ubuntu 18.10 repositories. You will need to install LAMP then secure MySQL before installing Zoneminder. I use a very minimum install from the 18.10 mini.iso.
1.34.x Coming soon!
 
Here are the basic commands you will need. As always start from a root (sudo su) prompt.
 
Secure MySQL or Mariadb
 
mysql_secure_installation
 
Add entry into my.cnf
 
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
 
Add the following to the end of the file
 
[mysqld]
sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
 
CTRL + o
CTRL +x
 
Restart MySQL
 
systemctl restart mysql
 
Install Zoneminder
 
apt install zoneminder
 
The database is not created automatically. Create the database with
 
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
 
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
 
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
 
Fix permissions
 
chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
 
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
 
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
 
Enable Zoneminder service
 
systemctl enable zoneminder.service
 
Add a user for local cameras
 
adduser www-data video
 
Enable Apache Features
 
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
 
[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 Apache
 
service apache2 reload
 
Zoneminder should work! Open Zoneminder in a web browser (http://server-ip/zm).
