Now that the software is installed, I need to configure the ZoneMinder database.
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
Note: Entered my root password on file. I suppose this is creating a database. I also confirmed the files path of zoneminder files before running the command.
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant select,insert,update,delete,create,alter,index,lock tables on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
Note: I did a copy and past of this command; entered password; came back pretty quick. Maybe it's just a security update.
Setting Permissions
Set /etc/zm/zm.conf to root:www-data 740 and www-data access to content
Note: Not sure what this means, but I’m setting permissions
chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
Note: Done
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
Note: Done
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
Note: Done
Note: That’s it for this post. On to configuring Apache.
