Software package install not loading?

[eiger3970]

Hello, I installed ZoneMinder 1.36.12+dfsg1-1 from Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia Cinnamon 64-bit's Software Manager.
I see no GUI, nothing in the Menu and no documentation how to run from Terminal?
I've opened a browser and http://localhost/zm/ shows error: This page isn't working. localhost is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500.

I'm reading this guide, but am having trouble matching the instructions with my experience? https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... -04-bionic

I tried this as per Step 8, although I haven't installed LAMP...I'm assuming the Software Manager has installed what's needed as there's no other instructions to do anything?

Code: Select all

linuxmint@linuxmint:~$ systemctl enable zoneminder
Synchronizing state of zoneminder.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable zoneminder
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/zoneminder.service → /lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service.
linuxmint@linuxmint:~$ systemctl start zoneminder
Job for zoneminder.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status zoneminder.service" and "journalctl -xeu zoneminder.service" for details.

Any suggestions please?

Try starting over, install LAMP, then this - don't skip the sudo su

Linux Mint 21.3. Virginia Cinnamon 64-bit runs on Ubuntu 22.04 jammy
The link is for Ubuntu 18.04.
Seems messy, so I might make a KVM and install Ubuntu Server 22.04 jammy, then install LAMP, then install ZoneMinder 1.36 from https://launchpad.net/~iconnor

Just figuring out the best way to install LAMP on Ubuntu Server.
Maybe:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install tasksel
sudo tasksel install lamp-server

or this from the ZoneMinder 1.36.x on Ubuntu 22.04 guide:

Code: Select all

apt install apache2 php mariadb-server php-mysql libapache2-mod-php

I might try this guide https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... der_1.36.x
