Zoneminder on FreeNAS

[default6]

Hi,
Altough I'm not an expert I succesfully installed FreeNas 8.3.1 with transmission plugin, shares, ftp server etc. I wondered how could I install zoneminder or any surveillance software but I found hard to get zoneminder as a pbi. Eventually I could download them from here: http://releases.ubuntu.fastbull.org/pcbsd/PBI/multimedia/zoneminder/9/x32/
installed but cannot start, "Some error occured" message appears. In the messages log there are rows when I tried to start the plugin:

Code:

Aug 20 19:05:16 freenas manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:416] Couldn't retrieve http://192.168.1.21/plugins/ZoneMinder/_s/treemenu: HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway
Aug 20 19:38:44 freenas manage.py: [plugins.utils:71] Couldn't retrieve http://192.168.1.21/plugins/ZoneMinder/_s/status: HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway

I tried to compile zoneminder from source but it wasn't successful. As I mentioned I'm not FreeBSD expert. Could you recommend a download source from which I can download a working pbi for my freenas (intel Atom2500, 2G RAM, 1T hard disk)
Or should I change something in the FreeNas environment?
Thanks

If you're still on 8.x, PC-BSD PBIs will not work due to ABI incompatibility between 8.x and 9.x. This is not an issue in 9.x jails.

The port install will also fail on 8.x (see the BROKEN/IGNORE message): http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/zoneminder/. I'm assuming that this is fixed on 9.x but have not tried compiling it myself.

I have upgraded to 9.1.0. Now I can't install even the Transmission plugin:

Does your hardware require you to be on 32-bit? If not, you should use 64-bit.

A bug was found in the 32-bit jails for 9.1.0 which has been fixed for 9.1.1, which is due out today or tomorrow.

I am on 64-bit with the same issue.

Moreover I can't even see the plugins to manually download form FreeNAS site.

 

[dlavigne]

Can you see them now? The appcafe used by the plugins browser was down for a bit yesterday but is now back up.

Yes, I can see them now within the GUI but still won't install.

Can't I download plugins manually and install ? From where ?

 

[dlavigne]

If you are getting an error in Plugins, that should be pasted so we can determine the underlying cause. The error that default6 posted was due to the 32-bit jail.

Typically, manual installation is done in Jails, and how to do so is documented here: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Installing_FreeNAS®_PBIs.

Just upgraded to 9.1.1. Everything still the same.

Does the router on your network do any MAC filtering? I'm assuming the FreeNAS system itself has no problems accessing the Internet?

No filtering. Yes, for instance:

This should not be happening. A developer is trying to pinpoint the cause.

How can I help ? Let me know if you need more information.

i've the same issue,

i try to install zoneminder on my freenas, with no sucess.
i've try to install via port on my jail.
when i try to connect to zoneminder by my browser, i get many php error.

after, i've try to install zoneminder "by the hand" on my websever, but i have an error as :

checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: zm requires libmysqlclient.a

....sa, as i don't want to become insane, i've stop for the moment

if somebody can explain how to install zoneminder on freenas (in the jail or as pbi), ...i kiss his feet (only the feet)

thanks

Hi! I've had a further play with zoneminder and got all the way to installing apache and running PHP+MySQL, only to find out that the port had missing files.

Your by-the-hand method should work - it looks like you are missing some mysql parts, make sure you've installed both mysql server and client packages.

At this moment, I've resorted to using zoneminder vmware image - much quicker to set up and use. I guess I will wait for a freenas-specific zoneminder package.

 

[latitude05]

i've the mysql client and server installed
i think it's an issue between static and dynamic library...

i've find a solution by adding this option on my ./configure
--with-extralibs="-L/usr/local/lib/ -L/usr/local/lib/mysql"

but now, i get a new error message
configure: error: zm requires libdl.a
so, i have to find where is the libdl.a lib, i get crazy !!!!

 

[default6]

"At this moment, I've resorted to using zoneminder vmware image - much quicker to set up and use. I guess I will wait for a freenas-specific zoneminder package.[/quote]"

I will do exactly the same action -wait, because I don't have the knowledge to to this manually and after a new software upgrade doing it again.
Thank you for your help

 

[latitude05]

i will try another way...
as i have only 2 camera to check, i get a raspberry-pi and i will use it only to run Zoneminder

 

[nvader]

Anybody with knowledge on how to make this into a pbi? I would love to have it on my Freenas box

 

[petr]

Yes, I second that - I think this will be an amazing plugin! Raspberry PI does not have enough power to do any of the motion detection in any meaningful way.. and the possibility to have it directly mapped to a large storage device to record the footage is a double-win for me!
