Tyler,

Good catch. I’ll ask the editor to correct that. Thank you.

Norbert,

Just double checked on a clean install here and the command is working fine. I noticed in your post though you have double quotes and a semi-colon for some reason. Please do not use though the command should be:

# mariadb -u root -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

# usermod -aG video www-datada

this line has a typo

Thanks for the tutorial, however…

Sorry to say, setting up the database throws an error 1046 (Syntax error) on my fresh Debian 9 install.

Works up till “mariadb -u root -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql&quot;

Next command, does throw the above error.
