from a previous version you can use zmalter.sql to upgrade your database and

files and make sure that the WEBUSR and WEBGRP definitions near the top are
appropriate for the user associated with your web server, ie. apache or web
or whatever you've defined. In the web/makefile.in file there is also another
definition which is webdir which should be the directory you want to install
the PHP files to, and in src/Makefile.in there is a similar definition of
cgidir which is where your CGI files should go. This is a bit of a pain I
will admit so if anyone can tell me how to get this stuff put into the configure
script I would be most grateful.
So to continue, just type './configure --with-mysql=/usr' (or your MySQL install
path). Then just type 'make' and off you go.

It is possible to rebuild the whole thing from the enclosed automake files but
if you do you will have to ensure that the installation part for the php and
cgi files in the src/Makefile.in and web/Makefile.in is reconstructed, as it
is not present by default.

Once the build has completed you should have several shiny new binaries. I will

zmu - This is the ZoneMinder Utility. It's basically a handy command line
interface to several useful functions. Not really meant to be used by anyone
except the web page (there's no 'help' in it yet) but can be if necessary.
At this stage typing 'make install' will install these binaries to the desired
location. However, it's not quite this simple as in order to get the ZM web
interface up you'll have to create a web directory and configure your web server
to point to it. Once you do you then copy 'index.php' to that directory, you can
rename it if necessary. The 'zms' daemon is designed to run as a CGI program so
you may also need to copy that to a /cgi-bin type place also. There are several
paths that must be defined (or cleared) in index.php to point to various other
binaries and directories before it will work fully but that's pretty much it for
now.
As well as this there are the web PHP files in the web directory and some perl
scripts in the scripts directory, only one of which is actually required for
a minimal installation. These scripts all have some configuration at the top
of the files which should be viewed and amended if necesary and are as follows.
Start your web browser and point it at index.php and off you go.
zmdc.pl - This is the ZoneMinder Daemon Control. This is used by the web
interface to control the execution of the capture and analysis daemons amongst
others. You should not need to run this script yourself.
zmfilter.pl - This script control the execution of saved filters and will be
started and stopped by the web interface based on whether there are filters
that have been defined to be autonomous. This script is also responsible for
the automatic uploading of events to a 3rd party server so you will need to
modify it to suit your confguration.
zmaudit.pl - This script is used to check the consistency of the event file
system and database. It can delete orphaned events, ie. ones that appear in
one location and not the other as well as checking that all the various event
related tables are in line. It can be run interactively or in batch mode either
from the command line or a cron job or similar. In the zmconfig.php there is
an option to specify fast event deletes where the web interface only deletes
the event entry from the database itself. If this is set then it is this
script that tidies up the rest.
zmx10.pl - This is an option script that can be used to initiate and monitor
X10 Home Automation style events and interface with an alarm system either by
the generation of X10 signals on ZM events or by initiating ZM monitoring and
capture on receipt of X10 signals from elsewhere, for instance the setting of
a domestic alarm system.
Finally, check zmconfig.php in the web directory and amend any configuration
necessary in there.
At this stage typing 'make install' will install these everything to the desired
locations.
Start your web browser and point it at zm.php and off you go.
