did a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 server then added the desktop gui,
Installed zone minder from here
http://zoneminder.readthedocs.org/en/la ... buntu-14-x
encountered some hiccups when installing apache because of credentials not matching in "mysqul" i fixed that. however My next issue is that that service for zone minder is not starting. Here is the status log when i try to start it.
sudo service zoneminder status

ZoneMinder is stopped
My squl and apache2 are running fine.
I am not sure where to go from here. I have looked into the lines indicated in the errors and it all seems fine. However I am not sure of what it should look like.
here is line 93 of the config.pm
my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:database=".$Config{zm}
.";host=".$Config{localhost}
, $Config{zmuser}
, $Config{zmpass}
all files are in the right location and seem to have the right content. Please advice. much appreciated.
