Hello --

today I installed the EASY WAY to Ubuntu 14.04

All seemed to go well. no errors that I noticed.

Got to step 7 of Install process and

How do I-

"startup ZM console in your browser" ?

Step 8 says "open up a browser and go to http://localhost/zm - should bring up ZM"

so I tried

127.0.0.1

PC name

PC IP

no luck....

can any one advise ??

Thanks Dan

further info::

and I also tried "localhost"

comes back with-

"Not Found

The requested URL /zm was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80"

I tried to redo some install steps- at step 3
ran onto a problem-

dan@ACER:~$ sudo a2enconf zoneminder
ERROR: Conf zoneminder does not exist!

step 4 says "As of Oct 3 2015, zm.conf is not readable by ZM. This is likely a bug and will go away in the next package"
so tried it
dan@ACER:~$ sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf

no help-

dan@ACER:~$ sudo a2enconf zoneminder
ERROR: Conf zoneminder does not exist!

however there is one-- (or maybe I'm wrong on this)

dan@ACER:/etc/zm$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211 Feb 17 2015 apache.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 1298 Oct 22 13:39 zm.conf

thanks dan

now i found this

dan@ACER:/$ sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf in Ubuntu forum


dan@ACER:/$ sudo a2enconf zoneminder
Enabling conf zoneminder.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:

continued with install:

dan@ACER:/$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled
dan@ACER:/$ sudo a2enmod cgi
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Module cgi already enabled

still no joy!
