Zoneminder

[Socaltom]

I'm working with the Zoneminder package that Moonman created.

I've gotten it installed, but I had to manually install the 8 packages that came with it.

Now I've tried to start it and I'm getting the following errors.

From systemctl status zoneminder -l

I think its due to a mysql error. I tried adding user zmuser, but I'm not sure how to create a db or if I need to?
I've searched the wiki, but I haven't found anything I thought would help.
Thanks

Apparently I missed some of the install istructions that popped up. I'm going through those right now. Hopefully that resolves the issue.

If its not one thing its another. Now apache is complaining about php. I think I'll put this on pause for a while and stick with motion.
