Zoneminder 1.30.4 on Ubuntu 16.04/16.10/17.04 Server
[[Ubuntu|<Home]]


__TOC__
===Temporary install for Zoneminder 1.30.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit only===


===Ubuntu 16.04/16.10/17.04 with LAMP===
The following is a shell script to install Zoneminder 1.30.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.


This procedure can be used to install Zoneminder on a basic Ubuntu install, a server install or a desktop install.
==Note: if you had Zoneminder installed you can omit the following two commands from the script==


Ubuntu basic install can be done from the net install CD (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads) This is creates a CD from the file mini.iso. When prompted (tasksel) install standard system utilities, OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server. This is the minimum that is required to set up and run Zoneminder and does not load other apps that are not needed.
This entry appends the timezone to the php.ini


Ubuntu Server Install: When prompted by Tasksel install OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server.
awk '$0="date.timezone = "$0' /etc/timezone >> /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini


Ubuntu Desktop: You will have to install tasksel in a terminal (sudo apt-get install tasksel) then run tasksel to install OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server.
These add entries to the my.cnf


If you get a blank screen after installing Ubuntu 16.04 minimal install or server, press Alt + F1 to open a console.
echo "[mysqld]" >> /etc/mysql/my.cnf
echo "init_connect = 'SET @@sql_mode = CASE CURRENT_USER() WHEN \'zmuser@localhost\' THEN \'NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION\' ELSE @@sql_mode END;'" >> /etc/mysql/my.cnf


Log in then become root:
Create a file:


  sudo su
  nano install-zm


Make sure you are up to date
Copy and paste the following contents into the file
 
apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade
 
At this point you should have Ubuntu 16.04 installed with LAMP which includes the default MySQL 5.7. You have the option to use Mariadb Server 10.0 which will replace MySQL 5.7 (Click on Options link in Contents above) or continue with MySQL 5.7..
 
You may want to set the system swap file usage. See:  https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issues_with_Zoneminder_Installation_on_Ubuntu#Ubuntu_Swap_File
 
You will need to make a settings change to MySQL as follows:
 
NOTE:  The MySQL default configuration file (/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf)is read through several symbolic links beginning with /etc/mysql/my.cnf as follows:
 
/etc/mysql/my.cnf -> /etc/alternatives/my.cnf
/etc/alternatives/my.cnf -> /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf
 
/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf is a basic file
 
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
 
Ctrl+o Enter to save
 
CTRL+x to exit
 
Restart MySQL

===Optional Upgrade to MariaDB Server 10.0. before installing Zoneminder===
 
MariaDB has some enhanced features which do not exist in MySQL and thus migration back to MySQL might not always work.
 
NOTE: This procedure is to upgrade to Mariadb before installing Zoneminder!
 
Upgrade the LAMP installed MySQL 5.7 to Mariadb with the command:
 
  apt install mariadb-server
 
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  (this removes the current symbolic link)
 
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
 
A tool that you may want to install is mysqltuner. This is handy to see what database paramaters need to be adjusted as your ZM system builds up events.
 
apt install mysqltuner
 
Continue installing Zoneminder: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_16.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.0_the_easy_way#Install_Zoneminder_1.30.0
 
 
Here is a link to manually install LAMP with Mariadb server  [[Install MariaDB Server 10.0]]
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
===Optional Upgrade to MariaDB Server 10.0. with Zoneminder (or other databases) installed===
 
NOTE: This procedure is concerned with backing up and recreating the Zoneminder database. You can use the same commands, with other database names, if your system has other databases running in MySQL.
 
Stop Zoneminder
 
service zoneminder stop
 
Backup Zoneminder database (or other databases)
 
mysqldump -uroot -p zm > zm.sql
 
Upgrade the LAMP installed MySQL 5.7 to Mariadb with the command:
 
apt install mariadb-server
 
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.
 
Remove the current symbolic link
 
rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf 
 
Create new 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
 
Create new empty zm database
 
mysql -uroot -p
 
You are now in the Mariadb console
 
CREATE DATABASE zm;
 
Quit Mariadb console
 
\q
 
Restore zm database from backup
 
mysql -uroot -p zm < zm.sql
 
Set permissions
 
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
 
Start Zoneminder
 
service zoneminder start
 
You should now be running Mariadb server!
 
===Install Zoneminder on Ubuntu 16.04 with shell script===
 
This will install Zoneminder by using a shell script with one basic command (how easy is that!)
 
You will need to download the file from:
 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwH00-h4hi0LbEtzY0g2ZVFmc2M
 
or view the file contents here:
 
[[Shell script zm_install]]
 
I have tested this on budgie-remix 16.04-1 desktop x64 and Ubuntu 16.04-1 server x64. This shell script should work on and Ubuntu 16.04 desktop (Mint, Lubuntu et. al.).
You do not have to have LAMP, Apache or MySQL installed to run this. The script will install everything Zoneminder needs to function and set up Zoneminder!
 
WARNING: This script installs Mariadb Server and Client and will replace MySQL if it is installed!!!
 
Copy the file, zm_install, to your home directory.
 
Open a terminal and run:
 
chmod 755 zm_install
 
Start the script by entering:
 
./zm_install
 
Follow the prompts. Things are pretty simple till you get to adding the timezone to PHP then you will need to know how to operate Nano. As a help you can see how it is done in the procedure above.
 
I did not include the fix for the API in this script but it is an edit to apache2.conf which is shown on above procedure.
 
WARNING: This script installs Mariadb Server and Client and will replace MySQL if it is installed!!!


Good Luck!
run the file


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.
./install-zm

Temporary install for Zoneminder 1.30.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit only

The following is a shell script to install Zoneminder 1.30.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.

Note: if you had Zoneminder installed you can omit the following two commands from the script

This entry appends the timezone to the php.ini

awk '$0="date.timezone = "$0' /etc/timezone >> /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

These add entries to the my.cnf

echo "[mysqld]" >> /etc/mysql/my.cnf
echo "init_connect = 'SET @@sql_mode = CASE CURRENT_USER() WHEN \'zmuser@localhost\' THEN \'NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION\' ELSE @@sql_mode END;'" >> /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Create a file:

nano install-zm
