I am following the, easy way install. When I run sudo a2enconf zoneminder, I get ERROR: Conf zoneminder does not exist!
Installed on Ubuntu 14.04. Any suggestions?

That command is not in the Easy Way setup for 1.28.1

It is in the upgrade instruction to get to the latest development version:

Step 3: Set up Apache

sudo a2enconf zoneminder
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod cgi

Use the WIKI instructions. They are, admittedly, more up to date than the docs.

I just reviewed these instructions and they are not right for Ubuntu 14.04 and ZM 1.28.1, at least the version that is on the PPA now. For a bit of history, the package maintainer had some issues with versions going to the wrong place on the PPA a while back. One of the versions did require those commands but the "original" of 1.28.1 was uploaded after the "wrong" versions had been removed. I know those commands are not right as 1.28.1 does not have the API and therefore does not need rewrite enabled in Apache.

Thanks guys, after following WIKI instructions. I was able to get ZM up and running. :)
