Try stopping Zoneminder and running zmaudit.pl from a command prompt. Might take a while. My database grew large due to the log file not deleting on schedule. If this works turn off opt fast delete and zmaudit.pl in options and schedule with a cron to run zmaudit.pl once a week.

Linux distro and version, please

Those have always been behind (and are difficult to edit) If you notice they are also for 16.04 and contain: It is recommended that you use an Ubuntu Server install and select the LAMP option during install to install Apache, MySQL and PHP.

Following the directions, after I run this command: a2enconf zoneminder I get this error:
ERROR: Conf zoneminder not properly enabled: /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf is a real file, not touching it

That is the file you have to edit!

There is a problem with the new zoneminder.conf from deb-multimedia. Contents of a good zoneminder.conf has been posted on the WIKI.

We asked for some changes to the zoneminder.conf file. It is possible that something else got changed, too. Will look into it...

Source type should be Local
Device Path /dev/video0
Device Format try PAL or PAL B

Try various resolutions such as 640x480 or look up the camera specs.

Use .jpeg only. Video does not work on a Pi

Still sounds like you have an old version of PHP lurking on your server. It may be time well spent to start over with a fresh Linux install.

I've submitted a bug report to the deb-multimedia maintainer. He replied and said the Zoneminder package has been fixed and should be on the repro in a day or so. He will also fix the stable version which should do the Rasbian version as well. Stay tuned...

Hey gang. My new Model 4 B arrived and I'm testing it with ZoneMinder. So far, the "stock" Buster image (burned to both the MicroSD and my M.2 USB SSD) works great. Install was easy and painless, as was the tweak to boot from the SSD instead of the MicroSD. Response time is fantastic with 1 camera ...

For the Pi use only .jpeg. Video recording does not work on Pi.

Maybe things have changed with multimedia-deb repo, but the zoneminder package from this repo was known to be broken. Multimedia-deb is not an official Debian repo so I'm not sure how to report bugs against their packages. Hot outside today and the wife has me protected in the A/C so I'll look into...

Linux distro and version, please.
