Version 1.01 - Added pkg install option.

I followed your guide from beginning to end, great job!

Two little tweaks I had to do though:

• During the pkg install phase, I had to run the command twice: it stopped the first time after having installed some packages, re-running it completed the installation.
• With my version of PHP (or PHP-FPM, I don't really know), I had to update the file located at /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf instead of php-fpm.conf.

Funny ... I did run the pkg install with all and only required one pass to install all.

No ideas. I updated with pkg update and run the install with pkg. I didn't have time to finish the configuration and test to see if runs. A little out of time with work catching fire ;)

The php-fpm.d folder is the way the configuration files are being organized by default for PHP7.0

Here's a video showing off my system.

Minor note; I'm going through this setup now with PHP7.0 and the config is in the php-fpm.d folder and not php-conf.d.

Thanks @Cesaric. Any other changes please let me know so I can update the guide. I didn't have time to go through it with the new php version and as per your comment directories have changed ...

Will do... so far, you have "Americas/New_York" on your screenshot in your manual (you have it right in the description). Just need to drop the "s" on America.

@melloa do you mind attaching your nginx.conf file? I'm getting odd formatting when I copy and paste it from the "...1.01.pdf".

Copied from the DOC, please let me know if won't work.

I ended up formatting manually but comparing side-by-side the my.cnf's are nearly identical.

I just finished up the instructions and got the zoneminder page to come right up in my browser. Nice work and thank you for putting that together!!!

Great you got it working. Will make the changes you've identified.

Question:

The config been changed is still on the same folder:

root@test1:/usr/local/etc # find / -name php-fpm.conf
/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf

What exactly have you changed in the flow?

Yes, www.conf is found on:

root@test1:/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d # ll
total 38
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 18494 Jun 4 23:57 www.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 18494 Jun 4 23:57 www.conf.default
root@test1:/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d #

But the original instructions from github README made no changes to it. Are we saying now it needs to be changed instead of php-fpm.conf?

Thanks!

I believe the FPM config has been split up into two files (php-fpm.conf and www.conf) for PHP7.0 if I remember correctly. They literally just moved everything after something like line ~30 in php-fpm.conf into www.conf.

hmmm ... OK ... will need to duplicate to capture all changes. Thanks for the heads-up.

yup, I new that was the folder name, but obviously typed it wrong. I'll fix my post

Just went through the steps installing with

pkg install zoneminder nginx mysql56-server php70-pdo_mysql php70-gd fcgiwrap php70-
session

and didn't have to make any changes on any config file name or location. Zoneminder started and runs fine:

Thoughts?

not sure what you are asking, but we did integrate some fixes into the port (which may be built for pkg by now) last week.
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/8d5ce6a1bc7f1ce090c35dfb5472274281bb4bd8

You might not even need to specify 'php70-pdo_mysql php70-gd php70-session' anymore.

Great, thanks for committing the fixes.

What I'm referring to is the post above that @Cesaric mentioned there was a "new" configuration file: "Minor note; I'm going through this setup now with PHP7.0 and the config is in the php-fpm.d folder and not php-conf.d."

I did install with php 7.0 and zonemider worked without any changes to my install steps, so trying to confirm to update the guide.

You might not even need to specify 'php70-pdo_mysql php70-gd php70-session' anymore.

Ok, I will test that.

ahh, if this is a fresh jail/VM then it should be in the php-fpm.d folder.
If not, then since you edited your php-fpm.conf, it wouldn't have been deleted, so your still using an older style config that does include the php-fpm.d folder.

Very interesting thread. I'm currently experimenting ZoneMinder 1.29.0 in a VirtualBox CentOS VM hosted on my FreeNAS System.
I'll migrate to a Jail as soon as I feel more confortable with it.

Any chance to see a plugin one day ?
