Tried using the official documentation and couldn't get zoneminder to load.

The main problem is during install no Database or User is installed.

This is what worked.

Fresh Install Debian 11

su sudo usermod -a -G sudo <username>

sudo reboot

sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt install mariadb-server

sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation follow instructions:

Change to your requirements this works

current PW enter for none socket auth Y Change Root PW Y (enter your new root mysql Password) Remove anon Y Remove Remote Y Remove test Y Reload Priv Y

sudo apt install zoneminder

mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql Enter mysql PW

mysql -u root -p -e "grant select,insert,update,delete,create,drop,alter,index,lock tables,alter routine,create routine,trigger,execute on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';" Enter mysql PW


sudo chgrp -c www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf

sudo a2enconf zoneminder sudo systemctl reload apache2 sudo systemctl enable zoneminder.service sudo systemctl start zoneminder

Open a web browser window type [Your IP address/zm] without the [brackets]

Hope this helps others. Recommend updating the documentation for Debian 11
