I just installed ZM 1.34.25 on Debian 10.09 and am getting the following errors:
Failed to write frame image
Can't open /mnt/surveillance/3/2021-04-25/34/04841-capture.jpg for writing: No such file or directory zm_image.cpp 1042

There are a now thousands of these. Any idea what's going on?
Thanks

I got zm working on my desktop. The problem is it's not version 1.34. How do I upgrade when clicking the version number gives me this: You are running the most recent version of ZoneMinder, v1.32.3. No update is necessary.

I installed ZM on my main machine which is also running Debian 10 to see if I could get working. It gives me this error: sudo systemctl status zoneminder ● zoneminder.service - ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance system Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service; enabled; vendor p ...

I upgraded my server to Debian 10 and wiped ZM. When I try to install following the wiki, I get a bunch of errors about unmet dependencies. A lot of them say they have no installation candidate?

I don't have a back up of the DB. It was dropped when I uninstalled ZM the first time. It sounds like things are a mess, so moving forward, what is the best way to wipe out ZM so I can start fresh? I used dpkg -r zoneminder and dpkg --purge zoneminder but I'm not sure that's enough. I also don't ...

What do you mean by: Then add the old db back into mysql/mariadb and # zmupdate.pl to get the db to 1.34? Yes I added the external repo. /etc/apt/sources.list # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.0.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20190706-10:24]/ buster contrib main deb http://deb.debian.org ...

I've followed the steps in the wiki but I only get version 1.32.3 which is what I was running before. The whole problem is it won't upgrade. This is what I get when I click the version number in the console.

You are running the most recent version of ZoneMinder, v1.32.3.

No update is necessary.

I typed the commands you suggested and now the console comes up, but the version says 1.32.3 and I'm getting errors when trying to stream from a camera. How can I upgrade to the latest version so I can start with a clean slate? I don't mind reinstalling everything, but I don't want to wipe out ...

My ZM database had been deleted so I removed ZM again and did an install from the 1.34 deb file. It looks like the database wasn't created. -- The job identifier is 71167.

I initially tried updating but it didn't work. So I uninstalled ZM and tried to do a fresh install per the wiki and the result is what I posted.

I thought the database was created during the install process. How do I recreate it?

I was running ZM 1.32 on Debian 10 and everything was working fine. I then tried to upgrade to 1.34 and it said I was already running the latest version. So I removed ZM so I could do a fresh install. Now I get the following error when starting the zoneminder.service. Any suggestions? zoneminder ...
