README.SLACKWARE This build uses the mmap method for camera access, as opposed to shared memory. That means, there is no need to configure shared memory limits any more. You can revert back to the shm method by removing --enable-mmap from the build. To use ZoneMinder, you need to have Apache, PHP and MySQL. CONFIGURATION # Be sure to follow the directions in /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld before you try and setup your database. 1) Database setup: # mysql -u root -p source /usr/share/ZoneMinder/db/zm_create.sql use mysql; grant select,insert,update,delete,create,alter,lock tables on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass'; quit; Reload the mysql server with "mysqladmin reload -u root -p". 2) Apache configuration: Uncomment mod_php at the end of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. Add this line to httpd.conf: Include /etc/httpd/extra/zm.conf LoadModule cgi_module lib64/httpd/modules/mod_cgi.so LoadModule rewrite_module lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so # You may need to chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd first Restart apache with "/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart". To make ZoneMinder launch on system boot: /etc/rc.d/rc.local: ================================== if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zm ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.zm start fi /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown: ================================== if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zm ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.zm stop fi Set your timezone in /etc/php.ini. Ex: date.timezone = "US/Central" Database upgrade files are provided in /usr/share/ZoneMinder/db. See http://www.ZoneMinder.com/wiki/index.php/Documentation#Logging for info on how to counter the massive amount of syslog spam that ZoneMinder generates. The ZoneMinder web interface shall be available at http://hostname/zm/ Have fun!
