Most of this is taken from the zoneminder wiki, others from various posts on their forums. I put them all together and this guide works 200%. This guide serves as my cheat sheet and have implemented in several machines. Goodluck!

In step 10, the following command gives a 404 error:
ReplyDeletewget http://www.zoneminder.com/fileadmin/downloads/cambozola.jar
The command below worked for me based on the link from ZoneMinder's download page.
wget http://www.zoneminder.com/sites/zoneminder.com/downloads/cambozola.jar
Thanks for posting this helpful step-by-step guide to setting up ZoneMinder!
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteBeen using ZM on Ubuntu for a bit but wanted to install alongside my PBX which has to be Centos. Your guide was a cut-and-paste breeze.
Only hitch I ran into was my httpd server runs under the asterisk id so I had to change permissions on the zm.conf file.
Thanks for your time,

Very handy guide. Only update for Zoneminder 1.24.4 on Centos 5.6 is that you need to run zm through dos2unix.
ReplyDeletecd /etc/init.d/
dos2unix -k zm
Does the job if you've already copied the scripts as per your guide above.
service zm start then works ...
