NEW INSTALLS
================================================================================
1. Unless you are already using MySQL server, you need to ensure that
the server is confired to start during boot and properly secured
by running:
sudo service mysqld start
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
sudo chkconfig mysqld on
2. Using the password for the root account set during the previous step, you
will need to create the ZoneMinder database:
mysql -uroot -p
mysql> create database zm;
mysql> grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to
'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';
mysql> exit;
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
3. IMPORTANT: Edit /etc/php.ini and put in the appropriate timezone for
date.timezone!
4. The ZoneMinder web interface is disabled by default, you will need
to edit this file to enable it:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/zoneminder.conf
HINT: Most users will want to simply delete the line that says
"Deny from all".
5. Configure the web server to start automatically:
sudo chkconfig httpd on
sudo service httpd start
6. This package has automatically configured and installed an SELinux policy
called local_zoneminder. A copy of this policy is in the documentation
folder.
7. Finally, you may start the ZoneMinder service:
sudo service zoneminder start
Then point your web browser to http://<machine name or ip>/zm

UPGRADES
================================================================================
1. You will need to upgrade the ZoneMinder database as described in the
manual. This command should be sufficient:
sudo zmupdate.pl --user=root --pass=<mysql root pwd> --version=<from version>
It is recommended to backup your database and then upgrade your tables
to InnoDB when prompted.
