zoneminder for Debian
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is one manual step to get the web interface working.
|
||
|
|
You need to link /etc/zm/apache.conf to /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf,
|
||
|
|
then reload the apache config (i.e. /etc/init.d/apache2 reload)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changing the location for images and events
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zoneminder, in its upstream form, stores data in /usr/share/zoneminder/. This
|
||
|
|
package modifies that by changing /usr/share/zoneminder/images and
|
||
|
|
/usr/share/zoneminder/events to symlinks to directories under
|
||
|
|
/var/cache/zoneminder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are numerous places these could be put and ways to do it. But, at the
|
||
|
|
moment, if you change this, an upgrade will fail with a warning about these
|
||
|
|
locations having changed (the reason for this was that previously, an upgrade
|
||
|
|
would silently revert the changes and cause event loss - refer
|
||
|
|
bug #608793).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you do want to change the location, here are a couple of suggestions.
|
||
|
|
(thanks to vagrant@freegeek.org):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These lines in fstab could allow you to bind-mount an alternate location
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/dev/sdX1 /otherdrive ext3 defaults 0 2
|
||
|
|
/otherdrive/zoneminder/images /var/cache/zoneminder/images bind defaults 0 2
|
||
|
|
/otherdrive/zoneminder/events /var/cache/zoneminder/events bind defaults 0 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or if you have a separate partition for each:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/dev/sdX1 /var/cache/zoneminder/images ext3 defaults 0 2
|
||
|
|
/dev/sdX2 /var/cache/zoneminder/events ext3 defaults 0 2
|
||

Access to /dev/video*
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For cameras which require access to /dev/video*, zoneminder may need the
|
||
|
|
www-data user added to the video group in order to see those cameras:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
adduser www-data video
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that all web applications running on the zoneminder server will then have
|
||
|
|
access to all video devices on the system.
