ZoneMinder failed to start

[jkousholt]

Hi guys

I'm having some trouble starting ZoneMinder 1.29

Linux version 3.16.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2 (2017-04-30)

I followed this guide https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_8_64 ... e_Easy_Way

start zoneminder.service

Code: Select all

root@debianserver:/home/jan# systemctl start zoneminder.service
Job for zoneminder.service failed. See 'systemctl status zoneminder.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

But when i run

Code: Select all

systemctl status zoneminder.service

I get this result:

Code: Select all

I can't change the status to "Start". It's keeps saying "Stopped".

The php page is "working", but why does it say "Failed to start ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance system." when i view the service status?

I couldn't find anything regarding the "status=2" code.

Btw I'm toying around with to old webcams, which both appear when using Cheese. But I can't set them as monitors. Properly related to the error above.

Does anyone have some thoughts about this issue?

I ran that install a week ago and it worked perfectly. Recommend you start over with a clean Debian 8.8 minimal install and try again. It is possible that something has changed in Debian 8.8. Am setting up to get Debian 9 so I will not take the time to review the install for Debian 8 until I am satisfied with the new version.

I'm running several services on the current server. Therefore I'm not keen on doing a clean Debian install.
How about running ZM on a VirtualBox?
How does it perform when using USB webcams?
