HOW TO INSTALL ZONEMINDER, v1.34.0. ON UBUNTU 19.10 (eoan), with php 7.4 & mysql 8

[bkjaya1952]

At the moment PHP mysqli connector does not have support for caching_sha2_password. We will have to use mysql_native_password until the PHP 7.4 is revised to support caching_sha2_password.

sudo su 

apt install -y software-properties-common 

add-apt-repository ppa:ndrej/php

apt update

apt -y install php7.4
