Is the OPT_EMAIL option enabled (under "Email" in the options)?

Yes, you could put all of this in your main httpd.conf, but by keeping it a separate file, the zoneminder package maintainers can easily keep the directives specific to zoneminder isolated and updated independently of your main httpd.conf file. Would you prefer to be making hand edits to merge their ...

The symlink into /etc/apache2/conf.d is the standard Debian/Ubuntu approach to adding new components to your existing Apache installation. It does not replace your running Apache configuration nor should it affect anything on your server unless you have stuff already under a /zm/ path. Take a look ...

If I may make a suggestion: use signed ints for everything. If you need that one extra bit that you've lost to the sign, it's rare that one additional bit will solve your problem permanently, so just upgrade to a 64-bit signed int.

I wanted to post this to the Future Development forum but my request to join the group has been pending for a while now so I thought I'd post it here while the ideas are still fresh. All of the components of ZM are tightly coupled. I'd like to see future versions written more with an eye toward ...

Most operating systems already use such a buffer for disk writes. Writing a thousand tiny files in a short period of time does not result in a thousand tiny write IOPS. For Linux specifically (the site won't let me paste links since I'm a "new user", but you can probably figure these out): www ...
