Reinstall Zoneminder - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit

[tonydotigr]

Can someone provide me instructions to perform a clean reinstall of Zoneminder on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit? Running into a lot of problems re-installing. I can find instructions on installing, but not performing a clean re-install. Main reason for reinstall is to rebuild with better capabilities for HD IP cameras.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It says it can't start mysql.

Is mysql installed?
