What's New
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
1. This is an *experimental* build of zoneminder which uses the
|
|
nginx web server.
|
|
|
|
2. 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: You must manually inspect the value for PATH_ZMS under Options
|
|
and verify it is set to "/cgi-bin-zm/nph-zms". Failure to do so will result
|
|
in a broken system. You have been warned.
|
|
|
|
3. Due to the active state of the ZoneMinder project, we now recommend granting
|
|
ALL permission to the ZoneMinder mysql account. This change must be done
|
|
manually before ZoneMinder will run. See the installation steps below.
|
|
|
|
4. This package uses the HTTPS protocol by default to access the web portal.
|
|
Requests using HTTP will auto-redirect to HTTPS. See README.https for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
5. This package ships with the new ZoneMinder API enabled.
|
|
|
|
New installs
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
1. This package supports either community-mysql-server or mariadb-server with
|
|
mariadb being the preferred choice. Unless you are already using MariaDB or
|
|
Mysql server, you need to ensure that the server is configured to start
|
|
during boot and properly secured by running:
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install mariadb-server
|
|
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
|
|
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
|
|
mysql_secure_installation
|
|
|
|
2. Assuming the database is local and 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 -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
|
|
|
|
The database account credentials, zmuser/zmpass, are arbitrary. Set them to
|
|
anything that suits your environment.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This version of zoneminder no longer requires you to make a similar change
|
|
to the credentials in /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Config/database.php
|
|
This now happens dynamically. Do *not* make any changes to this file.
|
|
|
|
4. Edit /etc/php.ini, uncomment the date.timezone line, and add your local
|
|
timezone. 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. Disable SELinux
|
|
|
|
We currently do not have the resources to create and maintain an accurate
|
|
SELinux policy for ZoneMinder on Fedora. We will gladly accept pull
|
|
reqeusts from anyone who wishes to do the work. In the meantime, SELinux
|
|
will need to be disabled or put into permissive mode.
|
|
|
|
To immediately disbale SELinux for the current seesion, issue the following
|
|
from the command line:
|
|
|
|
sudo setenforce 0
|
|
|
|
To permanently disable SELinux, edit /etc/selinux/config and change the
|
|
SELINUX line from "enforcing" to "disabled". This change will take
|
|
effect after a reboot.
|
|
|
|
6. This package comes preconfigured for HTTPS using the default self signed
|
|
certificate on your system. We recommend you keep this configuration.
|
|
|
|
If this does not meet your needs, then read README.https to
|
|
learn about alternatives.
|
|
|
|
7. Edit /etc/sysconfig/fcgiwrap and set DAEMON_PROCS to the maximum number of
|
|
simulatneous streams the server should support. Generally, a good minimum
|
|
value for this equals the total number of cameras you expect to view at the
|
|
same time.
|
|
|
|
8. Now start the web server:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable nginx
|
|
sudo systemctl start nginx
|
|
|
|
9. Now start zoneminder:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder
|
|
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
|
|
|
|
10.The Fedora repos have a ZoneMinder package available, but it does not
|
|
support ffmpeg or libvlc, which many modern IP cameras require. Most users
|
|
will want to prevent the ZoneMinder package in the Fedora repos from
|
|
overwriting the ZoneMinder package in zmrepo, during a future dnf update. To
|
|
prevent that from happening you must edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
|
|
and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo. Add the line "exclude=zoneminder*"
|
|
without the quotes under the [fedora] and [fedora-updates] blocks,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This version of zoneminder no longer requires you to make a similar change
|
|
to the credentials in /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Config/database.php
|
|
This now happens dynamically. Do *not* make any changes to this file.
|
|
|
|
2. Verify permissions of the zmuser account.
|
|
|
|
Over time, the database account permissions required for normal operation
|
|
have increased. Verify the zmuser database account has been granted all
|
|
permission to the ZoneMinder database:
|
|
|
|
mysql -uroot -p -e "show grants for zmuser@localhost;"
|
|
|
|
See step 2 of the Installation section to add missing permissions.
|
|
|
|
3. Verify the ZoneMinder Apache configuration file in the folder
|
|
/etc/httpd/conf.d. You will have a file called "zoneminder.conf" and there
|
|
may also be a file called "zoneminder.conf.rpmnew". If the rpmnew file
|
|
exists, inspect it and merge anything new in that file with zoneminder.conf.
|
|
Verify the SSL REquirements meet your needs. Read README.https if necessary.
|
|
|
|
4. Upgrade the database before starting ZoneMinder.
|
|
|
|
Most upgrades can be performed by executing the following command:
|
|
|
|
sudo zmupdate.pl
|
|
|
|
Recent 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>
|
|
|
|
5. Now start zoneminder:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
|
|
|
