Ubuntu Server 19.04 with Zoneminder 1.32.2

29MAR19 This was done with Ubuntu 19.04 Beta which contains Zoneminder 1.32.3. This is a preliminary procedure and may not work as changes are made to the release.

Install Ubuntu Server from the Ubuntu Server Live install.

Note: If you want to remove the cloud services see: https://nucco.org/2018/05/ubuntu-18-04-chronicles-removing-cloud-init.html

My install did not allow the time zone to be set in the install. To set the time zone: 

nano /etc/timezone

Change the UTC to your local area and time zone such as America/New_York

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Install ntp and ntpdate 

apt install ntp ntpdate

Copy your zoneinfo file as shown. Use your time zone: 

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

Optional: to disable auto updates edit: 

nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

Change the "1" to "0"

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Restart your server.

Install Apache2, Mariadb and PHP (I use Mariadb because of some password length issues with the newer version of MySQL) 

apt install apache2 php mariadb-server php-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.2

Next secure MySQL server by entering requested information. 

mysql_secure_installation

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

Start Zoneminder 

service zoneminder start

Restart Apache 

service apache2 reload

Zoneminder should work! Open Zoneminder in a web browser (http://server-ip/zm).
