Changing Apache2 Default

Post by radonkulous »

So, after some kicking of computers, I finally have a working zoneminder install. My setup was the live-cd 32bit Lubuntu 16.04 iso with preinstalled 1.29.0. There were no issues during install and I successfully added a camera. My issues began when attempting to access zoneminder remotely. I setup the port forward properly, but instead of getting the zoneminder console, I am greeted with the "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page". After some searching, I found that some advised to create a symlink using the following command:

ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf

Upon doing so, I am greeted with the following error:

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf': File exists

What am I doing wrong?

As an aside, I am using port 8080 as port 80 is used by something else on my router. I've also edited ports.conf to "Listen 8080" and 000-default.conf to "<VirtualHost *:8080>".

I you are able to access the ZM page fine internally via http://192.168.1.0:8080/zm (for example) then you should be able to access http://1.2.3.4:8080/zm from outside.

So, does it work properly internally, from another PC on your LAN?
