just installed - getting all text with hyperlinks

Post by nottoobad »

Hi,
I'm totally new to ZM - I wanted to try it out so I followed the installation instructions https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... 2-04-jammy
it seems ok but I'm not getting a properly rendered webpage at http://localhost/zm/?view=console
this is supposed to be my zm webpage image:

I'll try a link to the file in google drive:

You're missing the font file, I think.
Did you start with sudo su ? I'm guessing not.

$ sudo su
# apt install zoneminder -y
# a2enconf zoneminder
# service apache2 reload

Then I'm pretty sure it'll work OK. If not, you may have to start over.

thank you very much @dougmccrary, unfortunately that didn't work.
I did run the install commands with sudo, got into a bit of a pickle and tried some other stuff, the full blow by blow is below. I did google some fault-finding but it didn't work.

How do I start over and am I using the correct installation instructions?
It's bedtime in the UK, so I'll see your reply (if you're kind enough) tomorrow, thank you very much.

You need to run the zoneminder ~package~ as root - su. It needs to be root for some of what it does.
so -

sudo su

apt install zoneminder
