Building up a DVR with ZoneMinder, and even with a repository for
openSuSE
10.2 with ZoneMinder, there was difficulty. Two versions are available,
jpeg only or with mpeg. Adding the repository and using Yast should do
it,
right? Nope, the only difference in the RPM names is .mp. as
zoneminder-1.22.3-0.18.i586.rpm and zoneminder-1.22.3-0.mp.18.i586.rpm
So Yast sees them in the available list and only displays up to the end
of the version number (same for both - zoneminder-1.22.3-0.18) and
ignores
listing the other. So which one is listed? The mpeg version is first in
the list on the repository, so I told it to install just in case - it was
not the mpeg version.
So, download and RPM it with -Ui to replace the just done one. No, it
tells
me what I don't have installed, 5 library files. There were two avaiable
for Yast to install and the others are not in the repositories, including
guru and packman. Googleing for them only shows them for Knoppix so
they
are probably different.
So I did what I should have done to start with:
smart install zoneminder-1.22.3-0.mp.18.i586.rpm
It went looking somewhere and like magic pulled them like rabbits out of
a hat.
So it is running!
Now to have it do what needs to be done - move the mysql database [for
the R
part of DVR] to the proper partition, currenly in /srv (ZoneMinder
doesn't
let you specify during setup or keeps how to secret or buried). Amazon
shipped me 3 mysql books at the end of the week, so I should have that
figured out soon. It might even be another total reinstall to move /srv
to
a monster partition (200G+). Our current Wincrap based DVR uses all of a
250G drive for recording - and it just failed along with the video input
card - $180 vs $25 for the Linux ones.
Looks like I going to be using smart for any and all installs from now on
and forget Yast and RPM.

Ok, I did that. I used rsync -ax /srv/www /DVR/www
With that complete with no errors and verified - all attributes are the
same, etc., then mv www www_old then ln -s /DVR/www www and that was
successfull - an la /srv/www showed me a list of files on /DVR with
identical attributes, sizes, etc.
So now Apache tells me I don't have access priveleges to the ZM files. I
put another brief web page into the newly located /DVR/www/htdocs/ and it
worked properly so there is no problem with Apache
So there is still some pointer in ZoneMinder that needs to be set and no
documentation for it. I know that when you create a database in mysql you
can specify location, but ZM does not seem to do that.
I am currently doing a full reinstall with a huge /srv partition. This way
will work and will take less time than the playing around I've done to make
it work.
