What's New
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
1. The Apache ScriptAlias has been changed from "/cgi-bin/zm/zms" to
|
|
"/cgi-bin-zm/zms". This has been to done to avoid this bug:
|
|
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=973067
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: ZoneMinder will not update this value during an upgrade. You must
|
|
manually update ZM_PATH_ZMS yourself under Options. This does not affect
|
|
new installs.
|
|
|
|
2. During an rpm package upgrade, zmupdate.pl will now auto-update the database
|
|
and the zonemidner service will restart automatically.
|
|
|
|
3. The ZoneMinder config file, zm.conf, has been moved under /etc/zm.
|
|
|
|
4. Systemd. CentOS 7 uses Systemd instead of the legacy Sys V Init. Under the
|
|
hood, Systemd does things quite a bit differently. Prepare to go through a
|
|
learning curve if you have not done so already.
|
|
|
|
New installs
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
1. Unless you are already using MariaDB server, you need to ensure that
|
|
the server is configured to start during boot and properly secured
|
|
by running:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
|
|
sudo systemctl start mariadb
|
|
sudo mysql_secure_installation
|
|
|
|
2. Using the password for the root account set during the previous step, you
|
|
will need to create the ZoneMinder database and configure a database
|
|
account for ZoneMinder to use:
|
|
|
|
mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
|
|
mysql -u root -p
|
|
mysql> grant select,insert,update,delete,lock tables,alter on zm.* to
|
|
'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';
|
|
mysql> exit;
|
|
mysqladmin -u root -p reload
|
|
|
|
The database account credentials, zmuser/zmpass, are arbitrary. Set them to
|
|
anything that suits your envinroment.
|
|
|
|
3. If you have chosen to change the zoneminder database account credentials to
|
|
something other than zmuser/zmpass, you must now edit /etc/zm/zm.conf.
|
|
Change ZM_DB_USER and ZM_DB_PASS to the values you created in the previous
|
|
step.
|
|
|
|
4. Edit /etc/php.ini, uncomment the date.timezone line, and add your local
|
|
timezone. For whatever reason, PHP will complain loudly if this is not set,
|
|
or if it is set incorrectly, and these complaints will show up in the
|
|
zoneminder logging system as errors.
|
|
|
|
If you are not sure of the proper timezone specification to use, look at
|
|
http://php.net/date.timezone
|
|
|
|
5. This package will automatically configure and install an SELinux policy
|
|
called local_zoneminder. A copy of this policy is in the documentation
|
|
folder.
|
|
|
|
Maintaining an accurate SELinux policy file that does not create issues has
|
|
been a struggle. If SELinux blocks nortmal ZoneMinder acitivity, or you
|
|
feel you just don't need it, SELinux can be disabled for the current running
|
|
session with the following command:
|
|
|
|
sudo setenforce 0
|
|
|
|
To permanently disable SELinux, edit /etc/selinux/conf and change the
|
|
SELINUX line from "enforcing" to "disabled". This change will take
|
|
effect after a reboot.
|
|
|
|
6. Now start the web server:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable httpd
|
|
sudo systemctl start httpd
|
|
|
|
7. Now start zoneminder:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder
|
|
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
|
|
|
|
Upgrades
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
1. Verify /etc/zm/zm.conf.
|
|
|
|
If zm.conf was manually edited before running the upgrade, the installation
|
|
may not overwrite it. In this case, it will create the file
|
|
/etc/zm/zm.conf.rpmnew.
|
|
|
|
For example, this will happen if you are using database account credentials
|
|
other than zmuser/zmpass.
|
|
|
|
Compare /etc/zm/zm.conf to /etc/zm/zm.conf.rpmnew. Verify that zm.conf
|
|
contains any new config settings that may be in zm.conf.rpmnew.
|
|
|
|
2. Verify permissions of the zmuser account.
|
|
|
|
Overtime, the database account permissions required for normal operation
|
|
have changed. Verify the zmuser database account has been granted select,
|
|
insert, update, delete, lock tables, and alter permission to the ZoneMinder
|
|
database:
|
|
|
|
mysql -u root -p
|
|
mysql> show grants for zmuser@localhost;
|
|
mysql> exit;
|
|
|
|
3. Verify the database was upgraded automatically.
|
|
|
|
From the web console, ZoneMinder should show a status of "Running", and the
|
|
version number should have incremented.
|
|
|
|
If it is not running, then try to start it. The web console will indicate
|
|
if there is a database version conflict. If this is the case, then you may
|
|
need to manually update the database from the command line:
|
|
|
|
sudo zmupdate.pl
|
|
|
|
Modern versions of ZoneMinder don't require any parameters added to the
|
|
zmupdate command. However, if ZoneMinder complains, you may need to call
|
|
zmupdate in the following manner:
|
|
|
|
sudo zmupdate.pl --user=root --pass=<mysql_root_pwd> --version=<from version>
|
|
