After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

Hi,

Seems a bad installation (or bad DB upgrade). Could you tell us if it is a problem that appeared in a working ZM setup or a problem starting the first time?

Regards,

Hello,

I had Zoneminder working fine in this machine, with no problems in the DB.
I am using mariaDB (mysql). Zoneminder was doing great till someday it was giving error starting the process.
I couldnt just start Zoneminder process, so i cant acess to web-browser to configure cams and other stuff.
I unninstaled Zoneminder to lower versions and tried a lot of things, and the problem was all the same in all versions, i cant start Zoneminder.
I googled a lot and i cant find the solution to solve this problem, i would really aprecciate if u could help me :)

Thanks in advance
