Can someone please quantify "lots" of events?

1,000; 10,000; 100,000...

@sigge And if all installed as per bbunge, then as per MJN, enable php in apache, using MJN's command, or maybe this

sudo a2enmod php7.0

I "purged" all the packages including mysql. Just kept apache2. Then reinstalled them all.

Now it works!

Wait for it. Am still working on upgrade procedures, which work sometimes, fighting for a warranty claim on my Maytag heat pump, and other "life" issues.

although my settings are:

You could always change the password ('zmpass') to something that satisfies the minimum requirements listed. You will have to make sure it is reflected in /etc/zm.conf too.

The message above is related to zmuser or root?
I think it's root. The root password contains upper case, lover case, numbers and special characters.

Apologies I didn't spot that it was the MySQL root user. Disregard my suggestion! (or simplify the root password if acceptable from a security perspective).
