This how-to is for IP Camera's only.

{{Note box|Zoneminder is available as a contribs, but that is a very old one for SME server 7. Today, Zoneminder has it's own easy repository, and hopefully these instructions can be turned into a new updated contrib. For now, this how-to is intended to be used with IP camera's only.}}

This how-to can be discussed on the forums [https://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,52163.msg267101.html#msg267101| '''here'''].

====Requirements====
 
====Requirements====
Zoneminder is available from the Zoneminder repository. You need to configure the '''[[zmrepo]]''' as explained [[zmrepo| here]].
+
* Koozali SME Server '''9.x 64-bit'''
 +
* '''PHP 5.6''' is required for a fully functional Zoneminder and its API's installation. Since Koozali SME Server 8.x and 9.x come with a lower version of PHP, one must install the '''[[PHP_Software_Collections|PHP Software Collections]]''' first.

Zoneminder's configuration file is located at /etc/zm.conf. Not really known if it is required, but you can change the Apache user in the zm.conf file from apache:apache to www:www, and double check the database credentials in the same file with the ones you have used.

{{Note box|Need the find out the correct way to start the service for the mysqlinit process (which starts after the zoneminder service) will have MySQL restarted whilst Zoneminder is using it. The Zoneminder service has to be restarted manually.}}
+
The mysqlinit (init-default-databases) process (which starts after the zoneminder service) will have MySQL restarted whilst Zoneminder is actively using it. The Zoneminder service will stop/not start due to this. To prevent Zoneminder to start too quickly we delay the Zoneminder service to start a bit later by adding a sleep command in the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/zoneminder.
{{Note box|We still need to add the various TCPPort(s) to the db to open up the firewall if remote (off LAN) camera's are being used.}}

sed -i '/^start()/{N;s/$/\nsleep 10/}' /etc/rc.d/init.d/zoneminder

Now to cleanup everything you may want to perform the usual post-upgrade and reboot events. All that is left is the MySQL database '''zm''' and the logfiles. It's up to you what to do with them.
