Can't link zoneminder to apache.

[evilblackdog]

I apologize but I am a complete noob when it comes to linux/Ubuntu (13.1). I've tried searching around and wasn't able to find a solution. It's probably so easy that nobody typically has issues with it.

When I get to the "Link Apache to Zoneminder" of the setup directions (can't link due to being a new user)
I receive an error.
"
root@ubuntu:/home/evilblackdog# sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf’: No such file or directory
"

I'm not sure how to fix it. I was just going through the steps to set it all up and everything seemed to be going fine.

Thank you guys,

Your command line seems ok, except for the fact that you seem to be root already, so no need for sudo.

I don't know if that has anything to do with it though.

I tried it without it and got the same result. Thank you for the suggestion though.

If you are using Ubuntu 13.10 there have been some changes to Apache. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get ZM running on a fresh install of 13.10. I recommend you drop back to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and follow these instructions:

Oh to link to Apache in Ubuntu 13.10 use:
ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/zoneminder.conf

Thanks a ton.
If you didn't get it to work then I don't stand a chance. I'll go back to 12.04

Thanks again.
