Did upgrade with source or RPM?
Did you make sure that the database was upgraded?

Any errors in your zmdc.log error_apache.log or Mysql? Your database has the first post but the events table is not updated after the event like it should.
More info pls

I think it tries to make the events directory in other place, but I don't know were...

Sorry for the following dumb question but I have to ask...
Did you configure the web_user and web_group as the same as apache?
Have you checked to see whom owns the events directory and the camera directorys below it?
The error says it's trying to write to events/1 so that would be the /<webroot>/events/1 or at least it should be.
