What's New
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
1. See the ZoneMinder release notes for a list of new features:
|
|
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/releases
|
|
|
|
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 dnf 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 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 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. Configure the web server
|
|
|
|
This package uses the HTTPS protocol by default to access the web portal,
|
|
using rhe default self signed certificate on your system. Requests using
|
|
HTTP will auto-redirect to HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
Inspect the web server configuration file and verify it meets your needs:
|
|
|
|
/etc/zm/www/zoneminder.conf
|
|
|
|
If you are running other web enabled services then you may need to edit
|
|
this file to suite. See README.https to learn about other alternatives.
|
|
|
|
When in doubt, proceed with the default:
|
|
|
|
sudo ln -s /etc/zm/www/zoneminder.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
|
|
sudo dnf 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
|
|
|
|
9. 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. 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/zm/www. 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
|
|
|
