HOW TO INSTALL ZONEMINDER, v1.34.0. ON UBUNTU 19.10 (eoan), with mysql 8
Today, Mr. Isaac Connor has published the first successful Zoneminder-master-eoan package for Ubuntu 19.10. in his website .
To avoid errors when installing Zoneminder , MySQL-server is installed first.
Installation of MySQL-server
On the Ubuntu terminal
sudo su apt install mysql-server rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf cp /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf sed -i "15i default_authentication_plugin= mysql_native_password" /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/init.d/mysql start
mysql
CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ''; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES ; quit
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
Installation of Zoneminder
To install Zoneminder Please refer Connor’s web site Open the terminal and run following commands.
mysql CREATE USER 'zmuser'@localhost IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'zmpass'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zm.* TO 'zmuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES ; quit mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install zoneminder
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf adduser www-data video a2enmod cgi a2enconf zoneminder a2enmod rewrite chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/ systemctl enable zoneminder service zoneminder start service apache2 reload
Open zoneminder web console (http://localhost/zm/)

You can see the USB camera and a Hikvision IP camera are working in the above figure
Note:- If you fail and get an error ( ERROR 1396 (HY000))
,when creating mysql user with “CREATE USER” , that means there is
already a user. In that case please replace it with “ALTER USER” .
If you get “MySQL: “Access denied for user
‘debian-sys-maint’@’localhost’”” when updating zoneminder , you can
correct it by making following changes.
On the Ubuntu terminal
sudo gedit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Then you can see the automatically generated debian password for mysql
as follows in the opened “debian.cnf” file
( In your case , you may get a different password)
# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password =
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password =
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[client]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password =
s4bSHUP05s1J32G5
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password =
s4bSHUP05s1J32G5
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
Now you will have to grant permissions to ‘debian-sys-maint’@’localhost’” as follows
ALTER USER 'debian-sys-maint'@localhost IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 's4abSHUP05s1J32G5';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' WITH
GRANT OPTION; quit sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
