I upgraded my server to Debian 10, then followed the instructions for installing ZM the easy way. I didn't see any errors and the service is running, but when I go to the link in my browser I get this error: Unable to connect to ZM db.could not find driver
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Jim
Upgrade Problem
Re: Upgrade Problem
Check for a version of PHP older than 7.3.
Re: Upgrade Problem
The version is PHP 7.3.4-2
Re: Upgrade Problem
I uninstalled zoneminder and did a fresh install following the updated instructions. I can log in to and create a database outside of zoneminder without a problem. But zoneminder still gives me the error: Unable to connect to ZM db.could not find driver
Re: Upgrade Problem
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.
Re: Upgrade Problem
I did a fresh install in a virtual machine and got it running. However, I'm not able to add a camera. Nothing happens when I click on the Add button.
Re: Upgrade Problem
I'm trying another fresh install. When I get to this step: sudo dpkg -i deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb I get the following error message: dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin

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

Re: Upgrade Problem
I created the file per the wiki and it has all the correct information.
