Ubuntu Server 11.04 64-bit with ZoneMinder 1.25.0 Preview, FFmpeg, libjpeg-turbo, Webmin, Cambozola

From ZoneMinder

This guide is adapted from the 11.04 1.24.x SVN guide, using Zoneminder 1.25.0. It will work with Ubuntu 10.04.3 to 11.04.

UPDATED: Oct 10th 2011

#Install Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04.3 64-bit or higher. (http://www.ubuntu.com/business/get-ubuntu/download)
#At software selection, select LAMP, OpenSSH server, and Mail Server (Postfix).
#For the mail server, it is easiest if you use "Internet Site" and let it use the defaults.
#After install completes, log in and set a static IP address in /etc/network/interfaces. Edit the addresses to suit YOUR network:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

#In firefox, go to https://YOUR_ZoneMinder.IP.ADDRESS.HERE:10000 to reach the Webmin interface.(Login with Ubuntu username and password)
#In left menu, select System>Bootup and Shutdown. Tick the box next to zm and click StartNow and On Boot.
#In left menu, select Servers>Apache Webserver. Click virtual server under Existing virtual hosts tab. Under Virtual Server Details, change Document Root to /var/www/zm and then save.

#Go to http://YOUR_ZoneMinder.IP.ADDRESS.HERE to reach the Zoneminder interface.

To configure Postfix so Zoneminder can send out e-mails, you may have to configure it to work with your specific ISP. This may not be the most secure method.

sudo su
nano /etc/postfix/main.cf

In the file that opens, remove the line that says “relayhost = ” (next to the end of the file) and add the following lines to the end (where ###CHANGETHIS### is the SMTP address given to you by your ISP):

#### ADDED BY HAND TO USE MY ISP SMTP ACCOUNT WHEN SENDING EMAILS ####
relayhost = [smtp.###CHANGETHIS###.com]
smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/sasl-passwords
# smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = digest-md5 # enable if your isp supports this

Save the file and close it. Now type in:

nano /etc/postfix/sasl-passwords

You will get a blank document window. Type in where ###CHANGETHIS### is your SMTP address given to you by your ISP, and “yourusername” is the user name you use to login to your ISP's e-mail, and obviously “yourpassword” is the password you use. Make sure the “:” stays between the two.

[smtp.###CHANGETHIS###.com] yourusername:yourpassword

Save and close the file. Type in the following to enable the password with your e-mail service:

postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl-passwords

Then restart the e-mail service with:

postfix reload
