its zoneminder correctly loaded for apache? Does this file exist? /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf. If not does, /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf exists ? If the last file exists, load it, and reload apache. a2enconf zoneminder systemctl reload apache2 Aah. Ok, just read your oth...

Its clearly an permission issue where apaches httpd (web server running zoneminder) does not have permission to write the /mnt/sda/...

Whats the output of "ls -l /mnt/" and "ls -l /mnt/zoneminder/" ?

Same on 1.34.x.

I've later upgraded to Debian11, zm 1.36.x.

sudo should simply just be an dependency (or the way it checks if its running using sudo changed).

Does /var/log/syslog gives anything ?

I believe it should post some mysql errors to why it would not start in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/mysql/error.log. The ones from systemd is sometimes not really that telling.

Post some more info, like logs, and/or debug logs.
Sounds defiantly like something is crashing. I have had similar issues where the recording had holes in the recordings, and it was because of already mentioned misconfigured buffers.

I'm late! :D Just found out 1.36 is here! Is the repo https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.36 still available? Today I'm getting a "Page Not Found" regards, francis3 Seems like the certificate has been wrongly replaced. The CN is wrong, for which the repo is no longer working. O...

repo is now 1.36.5. Just updated from 1.36.3 (which showed as 1.37).

Everything seems fine.

It "upgrades" the DB from 1.37 to 1.36.5 when running zmupdate.pl, and now version shows correct as 1.36.5

What OS package is that?

Its on Debian 10.

Enabled debugging.. 9 12:21:03 zoneminder zmpkg[29737]: DB1 [Testing "sudo -u www-data true"] Jun 9 12:21:03 zoneminder zmpkg[29737]: DB1 [Test failed, 'No such file or directory' So apperently sudo needs to be installed, so it can do its selfchecks. fixed by installing the sudo package.

Something is clearly wrong, since zm thinks the service is not started correctly, for which it tries to restart it over and over again. It can be worked around, by removing the restart=always in the systemd file. /lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service #Restart=always then systemctl daemon-reload Sti...

I have one report that the resulting install is actually 1.37.0. Fear not, The difference at this time is minimal and the next update will fix the stored version #. Yes. Got the same.. thx for the headsup! Seems to be some issues in regards to versioning. :) shows 1.36.3 apt policy zoneminder zonem...

Its available now, it seems: https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/re ... 36/buster/

According to another post I saw the other day, some special characters are not allowed (or will be "missed"), because they are having issues with escaping them in the c++ layer. (my details might be wrong here, since its only of what I can remember).

I think you got some basic understandings wrong. tmpfs is not an command, but an "temporary filesystem" /etc/fstab is not an command, but an file which you must edit. So to change the tmpfs allocation, edit the file, using vim, nano, emacs or whatever. (nano, might be easier for new users)...
