Shell script zm-install-bionic
 
__TOC__
 
===Ubuntu 16.10 with LAMP===
 
This procedure can be used to install Zoneminder on a basic Ubuntu install, a server install or a desktop install.
 
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.
 
Ubuntu Server Install: When prompted by Tasksel install OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server.
 
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.
 
If you get a blank screen after installing Ubuntu 16.04 minimal install or server, press Alt + F1 to open a console.
 
 
Log in then become root:
 
sudo su
 
Make sure you are up to date
 
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
 
At this point you should have Ubuntu 16.10 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.
 
rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf  (this removes the current symbolic link)
 
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
 
systemctl restart mysql
 
Recommended: Secure MySQL.
 
mysql_secure_installation
 
 
Optional: A tool that you may want to install is mysqltuner. This is handy to see what database parameters need to be adjusted as your ZM system builds up events.
 
apt-get install mysqltuner
 
Once installed, run mysqltuner from a command prompt as root (sudo). Review recommended changes. Edit the configuration file (my.cnf) and make the recommended changes. Stop zoneminder, restart the database server then start zoneminder.
 
===Install Zoneminder 1.30.0===
 
Install Zoneminder
 
apt-get install zoneminder
 
Create Zoneminder database in MySQL (NOTE:  this also creates the default Zoneminder user and permissions in MySQL)
 
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
 
 
Set permissions of /etc/zm/zm.conf to root:www-data 740
 
chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
 
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
 
Create a new user
 
adduser www-data video
 
Enable CGI, Zoneminder and rewrite configuration in Apache.
 
a2enmod cgi
 
a2enconf zoneminder
 
a2enmod rewrite
 
Fix Permissions
 
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
 
Edit zoneminder.conf
 
nano /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf
 
Add a - before Indexes and a + before FollowSymLinks
 
<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
 
Make sure the following is at the bottom of the file
 
<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
 
 
Ctrl+o Enter to save
 
CTRL+x to exit 
 
Enable and start Zoneminder
 
systemctl enable zoneminder
 
service zoneminder start
 
Add timezone to PHP
 
nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
 
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 Apache
 
service apache2 reload
 
 
 
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
 
Click the '''SAVE''' button

===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-get 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
 
To change Mariadb settings:
 
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
 
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-get install mysqltuner
 
Continue installing Zoneminder: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_16.10_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.0_the_easy_way#Install_Zoneminder_1.30.0

===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-get 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
 
To change Mariadb settings:
 
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
 
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!
