Topic: Zoneminder on SME 8 b7

[Shilotsugu]

Hi,
I'd like to get ZoneMinder up and running on my 8b7 server with a minimal of hassle and hunting around for packages. There are many older topics with people running zm, but are pretty spare in details when it comes to what steps were actually done. In the most recent thread I could find (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=48115.0), someone had installed dependencies manually, it was suggested that it could be done with yum.

However, this is the result when I tried:

Code: [Select]

# yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-zoneminder

 * updates: mirrors.kernel.org

No package smeserver-zoneminder available.
Nothing to do

What am I missing? I'm about to try the manual route, but the setup.txt on http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/contribs/zoneminder/ suggests other packages that are not found there.

As long as I'm asking for ponies, it would be nice if someone familiar with the process update the wiki.

Thanks

OK I went looking for you and searched the forums on zoneminder (which you could have done) and came up with the following.
I actually searched the forums on zoneminder and the author sognenovski for more specific results re these packages

smeserver-zoneminder is not in the smecontribs repo, the advice of cactus in 
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,48115.msg238558.html#msg238558
appears to be incorrect

You need to manually download or wget the zoneminder and smeserver-zoneminder packages to an empty folder on your sme server
from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/contribs/zoneminder/

To get other dependencies you will need to enable other repos, ie the repos where those dependencies are available eg
dag and/or others, (some investigation or experimentation may be required to ascertain which repos have the dependency packages you require)
refer to wiki for how to do this ie
http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Yum_Repository

Following this as a guide
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/contribs/zoneminder/zoneminder_setup.txt

This worked on a sme7.5.1 box

Setup the dag repository
http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag

I did this basic install of the two main packages, but others are needed, see this forum post
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,38451.0.html

The following needs to be expanded as per above thread, no more time at present to go further with this just now.

login as root
then do
mkdir -p /opt/zoneminder
cd /opt/zoneminder
wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/contribs/zoneminder/smeserver-zoneminder-0.1-4.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

ls -al
(to check files have been downloaded)

yum localinstall smeserver-zoneminder* zoneminder* --enablerepo=dag

Is this ok [y/N]:

Followed by
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

That should get you going.
Depending what other packages and modules you want to install will determine what happens next, but the basic idea will be the same as above.
Note there are issues with the bttv packages, you require the correct kernel-module-bttv package for the kernel version you are running, so "someone" will need to recompile those as each new kernel is released. The ones on the download link are very old.

I'm not sure whether some of the above "issues" are automatically resolved when using sme8, so let us know how you go and a wiki article can be created.
It will need a maintainer though to build the new modules whenever a kernel update occurs, unless they can be obtained from elsewhere on the Internet.

I suggest you read thoroughly all of these threads (all pages) for setup tips and usage advice etc

and
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,38451.0.html

Probably this thread is the most useful (read all pages for good install & usage info)
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,38451.0.html
It seems to have the "latest" install info, so the above steps could be modified accordingly.

ls -al

cd to that folder and do
yum --enablerepo=dag localinstall *.rpm

enabling the dag repo will allow yum to also install any dependencies including the perl-Device-SerialPort dependency rpm

yum localinstall smeserver-zoneminder* zoneminder* --enablerepo=dag

Note on a sme 7.5.1 this rpm mentioned in the earlier zoneminder posts is already installed
[root@master ~]# rpm -q perl-MIME-Lite
perl-MIME-Lite-3.027-1.el4.rf

Also the current kernel  (on sme7.5.1) is
[root@master ~]# uname -r
2.6.9-89.31.1.EL

So the kernel-module-bttv package is wrong and needs to be recompiled or obtained elsewhere

Mary,

So much excellent information all in one place, thank you.

OK I went looking for you and searched the forums on zoneminder (which you could have done) and came up with the following.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I only have a limited amount of time to allocate to SME (including chasing rabbits down forum topics) so having it all together like the HowTos or contribs is a great time saver. Although I previously read some of the posts you mentioned, I probably would have missed something like adding Dag.

Here is the attempt (I also tried "yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=dag localinstall *.rpm" with same results):

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I suspect that the newer sme8 version may have something to do with 'missing' mysql library dependency.
[root@#### /]# find -name *libmysqlclient*
./usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15
./usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0
./usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
./usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0

Any way to get it to recognize the newer version, or should this go to a bug tracker?

I probably would have missed something like adding Dag.

So when you added the dag repo, did you point it at EL4 or EL5 rpms ?

I set it to EL4 as that was in the linked wiki page (http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag). I've updated it with EL5 as mentioned and tried again.

You probably need to search for that and install it in order to get zoneminder working on sme8, otherwise update zoneminder rpm to use newer dependencies.

I have not tried it on sme8 but a quick search took me here
http://serverfault.com/questions/164759/need-libmysqlclient-so-14
which refers to
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/12470926/dir/redhat_el_4/com/mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4.remi.i386.rpm.html
which led to the RPM here
ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/1/mirror/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/MySQL-shared-standard-4.1.22-0.rhel4.i386.rpm

download the above rpm to a empty folder and do
yum localinstall MySQL-shared-standard-*.rpm

It may be a bit of trial and error needed, so google on libmysqlclient.so.14 as there are many search result answers
Later when I hook up my sme8 test machine I will look at it, but busy at present
Maybe others have a better answer, or an answer based on their practical experience.

I tried to install the latest ZoneMinder
These were my steps
Installed SME Site Maker to setup the /opt/surveillance directory for web view::
Then I installed all these dependancies with

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=* --disablerepo=smedev --disablerepo=smetest --disablerepo=smeupdates-testing My repos are the regular ones with additional "Dag - EL5; ATRpms - EL5; sme7contribs; FWS".
The dependancies were :::
ffmpeg (only install through dag. Enabling dag and atrpms will result in missing dependancies, so don't use the above code to install ffmpeg.)
gcc
gcc-c++
dkms
perl-Device-SerialPort
perl-Archive-Zip

I think that is all to it. After the above steps,

and then do a make and make install
Again, that installs it into my /opt/surveillance which was setup previously with SME Site Maker. Be sure to have a db password already generated before starting Site Maker. This is a fresh SME 8 testing machine, and I don't know if something has been broken with all the dependencies that were installed.

I am having another issue now.
I have a main SME 8 server as a gateway and another SME 8 server for only video surveillance. I set up a hostname called security.mtrosemedia.tk to the Remote IP for the internal server. That works just fine when going directly to the site, but trying to go to security.mtrosemedia.tk/surveillance doesn't work.
I would like a way to be able to access the internal server clearly without so much being forwarded. Right now I have ports forwarded to the internal IP port 22 in order to get ssh tunnel. I have the hostname setup to pass the security.mtrosemedia.tk name. And my logic is telling me to setup a proxy pass directive to get to the security.mtrosemedia.tk/surveillance name. Is that right? All the other pages revert back to my main mtrosemedia.tk server. So, security.mtrosemedia.tk/webmail or /server-manager opens my main server's pages and not the security surveillance server pages. Any ideas?

[Shilotsugu]

Thanks to Mary, the program itself is installed and functioning. However, Ive been frustrated (yes, I'm slow) with trying to get the program to recognize the video feed. At first it would seem like a ZM issue, but I still get a blank screen after following the advices on ZM's how-to page. Now I am wondering if there isn't some hidden setting on the server itself that I'm missing. I'd like to try newburns' method, but need to uninstall the current program. Because of the specialized steps used above, is there a particular order I should follow to remove this properly?

[newburns]

Which version does Mary have functioning? Do you have a link to those posts? My method should allow for the latest version. I'm no developer so I was hoping some of the more seasoned users would respond to those posts.

[Shilotsugu]

I've been struggling to get this working with nothing to show except for an expensive camera collecting dust in my garage. There have been plenty of claims that this setup works (easy-peasy), but I suspect the process is really made arcane as possible and the steps just vague enough so that they can continue to have bragging rights. The particular steps to get this version (1.22.3) "working" are listed in the comments above, but both ZM and SME have since changed versions again - so I doubt the advice in this thread is valid any longer. While following this thread may likely satisfy the literal definition of "get ZM working on 8b7", it doesn't mean there will be a useable solution in the end. I wish I could stay positive about this, but there are too many time-wasting rabbit holes and roadblocks of outdated advice and conflicting versions, that it's just not worth it anymore.

I might as well buy a dedicated windows machine and load it with the recording software that came with the camera. At least I know that will work. What a waste of time and money.

[guest22]

The same goes for Mary and others... I believe the effort to help you is beyond the usual hint and tips to be expected in a forum.

And yes, things do evolve and progression is being made, hence nothing stays the same.

[janet]

Shilotsugu

Have you tried using a USB camera, to test your setup ?
I seem to recall reading that a USB camera should be detected without requiring compiled modules.

[MSmith]

Y'all sure went to a lot of trouble to destabilize a perfectly good SME setup instead of just installing VMWare and a Zoneminder appliance.

http://viktorpetersson.com/open-source/zoneminder-virtual-appliance/

[newburns]

Are you using SME as a VMware host? I would like to setup VMWare, but am having troubles finding the best host software. I typically do a lot of testing and trying out stuff on production equipment, so I don't have much room for mistakes.

Amazing product this Proxmox.

indeed.. IMVHO the only drawback is that it is based on debian (no religion war here, at all).
if it were based on centos / rh there would be more certified hardware

[vpurger]

... but kernel is from rh6 + openvz patch

[guest22]

Maybe it's time to open a 'vitualization' section on the forums...

[Stefano]

Maybe it's time to open a 'vitualization' section on the forums...

no..

there are already some topics and similar requests.. the answer is "no, it's not necessary as SME works as a VM as long as linux virtual machines are supported"..

i.e. it does make no difference if you use virtualbox on your laptop or a very big cluster with a very expensive version of vmware: SME is always the same.

finally, I would add that nowadays, when we (generally speaking) need more servers (defferent O.S. or different version), we should always install something like esxi or proxmox on the bare metal.. installing vmware server or virtualbox inside SME is not a good idea

All IMVHO

[newburns]

I know this is not the vm forum, but I wood like to setup vm for sme. My hardware doesn't allow to install proxmox due to 64 bit virtualization, can you point me in the right direction for esxi or esx iso? I cannot navigate their page as easily

[Stefano]

if you want to use esx or proxmox you must use certified hw..

[newburns]

I am, I think. HP DL380 G3.
It's an issue with proxmox, but i'm sure it works with esx

[Mntsnow]

AFAIK
ESXi requires dual 64bit procs

Yep on page 5 of the eval guide:  https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Evaluation-Guide-1.pdf
HARDWARE MINIMUM
CPU – Two processors of 2GHz
Memory – 6GB
Network – 2x 1GB network adaptor

[newburns]

But I have dual xenon 2.8 processors and 8gb ecc memory, and both nic Ports. How do you find or about the 64 bit processor, or virtualization?

[Franco]

Hi,
I have a HP DL380 G3 running Proxmox with no problems.

Best,

[newburns]

Do you have a link to the iso? I'm guessing I had wrong one because it threw an error about 64 but at start

[Mntsnow]

Newburns,

Check out that PDF that I linked to as it will help you.

Are you wanting to run VMware from within a running server of SME-8 or are you wanting the server hardware to run Vmware natively and then run a virtual instance of Zoneminder and other virtual services?

Also within the bios you need to enable virtualization (I don't recall off the top of my head the exact wording it is in the bios)

[newburns]

I want vm on hardware to run instances of zoneminder, red5, plexmedia server, test sme, and windows XP.

Also, as far as work flew, is it better to install best OS for services, almost resulting in a Linux install per service, or find one Linux distribution most compatible for all services.

[Mntsnow]

Newburns,

I currently run SME-8 natively (hosts 5 domains and websites) on my Poweredge 1950 and then did a install of Vmware Server 2 along side (concurrently) in which I have virtual instances of Zoneminder, WinXP, MS 2003SBE, Windows 7 and a virtual instance of SME8 for dev testing.  All running on my poweredge nicely!

For the Vmware I used the instructions from here http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,49261.0.html and http://wiki.contribs.org/Vmware
For Zoneminder I used http://blog.waldrondigital.com/2012/09/23/zoneminder-virtual-machine-appliance-for-vmware-esxi-workstation-fusion/ and then used VMware Vcenter Standalone converter to convert it over to a compatible vmx file after running in thru Vmware Player (which can convert the OVA file to a version that the Vcenter can convert to the correct vmx file)

[newburns]

Does sme host pretty good? I was always told it's a bad idea to use sme as host, so I was always looking for native vm solutions. Was gong to go with proxmox, but it threw an error, and I never found the iso for vmware on their website so I installed centos, hoping I could find a vm package. But I never got to it because I couldn't authenticate centos against my sme users. Now i'm going to start over. Do you recommend sme host, or find a way for proxmox to work like franco

[Mntsnow]

I have never tried Proxmox and since I only have a single proc in my server I couldn't run the standalone version of Vmware so I'm doing the best I could for me as a newbie into the virtual server world.
