What's New
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
1. ZoneMinder now uses a conf.d subfolder to process custom changes to
|
|
variables found in zm.conf. Changes to zm.conf will be overwritten
|
|
during an upgrade. Instead, create a file with a ".conf" extension under
|
|
the conf.d folder and make your changes there.
|
|
|
|
2. ZoneMinder now supports recording directly to video container! This feature
|
|
is new and should be treated as experimental. Refer to the documentation
|
|
regarding how to use this feature.
|
|
|
|
3. 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 yum install mariadb-server
|
|
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
|
|
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
|
|
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 -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 create a config file under
|
|
/etc/zm/conf.d and set your credentials there. For example, create the file
|
|
/etc/zm/conf.d/zm-db-user.conf and add the following content to it:
|
|
|
|
ZM_DB_USER = {username of the sql account you want to use}
|
|
ZM_DB_PASS = {password of the sql account you want to use}
|
|
|
|
Once the file has been saved, set proper file & ownership permissions on it:
|
|
|
|
sudo chown root:apache *.conf
|
|
sudo chmod 640 *.conf
|
|
|
|
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 CentOS 7. 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. Install mod_ssl or configure /etc/httpd/conf.d/zoneminder.conf to meet your
|
|
needs. This package comes preconfigured for HTTPS using the default self
|
|
signed certificate on your system. The recommended way to complete this step
|
|
is to simply install mod_ssl:
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install mod_ssl
|
|
|
|
If this does not meet your needs, then read README.https to
|
|
learn about alternatives. When in doubt, install mod_ssl.
|
|
|
|
7. Now start the web server:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable httpd
|
|
sudo systemctl start httpd
|
|
|
|
8. Now start zoneminder:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder
|
|
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
|
|
|
|
Upgrades
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
1. Conf.d folder support has been added to ZoneMinder 1.31.0. Any custom
|
|
changes previously made to zm.conf must now be made in one or more custom
|
|
config files, created under the conf.d folder. Do this now. See
|
|
/etc/zm/conf.d/README for details. Once you recreate any custom config changes
|
|
under the conf.d folder, they will remain in place indefinitely.
|
|
|
|
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 restart the web server then start zoneminder:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl restart httpd
|
|
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
|
|
|
|
|
