Please note that it shouldn't do a purge, so the db contents and any config rules should remain in place and all you need to do is re-enable the ppa and re-install mysql and zoneminder. That being said, make sure you have a db backup. That is the crucial data and if you have that you can restore. I ...

What do teh logs say?

It may be that one of the monitors is 1 pixel taller than the other and is causing layout to break as you describe. Try sorting them differently. 1.37 does a much better job of this

It should be for debian based distros: Alias /zm/cache "/var/cache/zoneminder/cache" <Directory "/var/cache/zoneminder/cache"> Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> Require all granted ...

You can always go full nuclear and do sudo apt remove --purge apache2* libapache2* Then sudo apt install apache2 You may need to actually move out of the way the contents of /etc/apache2 in between if it doesn't clean itself up entirely. That should get a fresh, working apache2 install. Then you can ...
