I had zoneminder running on Ubuntu 14.08. I had done an update on Ubuntu and the zoneminder would not run anymore. I have reinstalled several times and getting nowhere. The error I am getting on the term. is on the attached screen shot. what is wrong?

It doesn't look like you have followed installation instructions.
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu
For example the upgrade instructions here talk about many things including changing permissions to the file you listed in your screenshot

Could you try to run the command "sudo service zoneminder start"?

your example of the error is a result of a permission problem with the /etc/zm/zm.conf
you could try these methods which are detailed in the instructions mentioned above in this thread.
Code: Select all
root#chown www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
the next error you would encounter is fixed by changing the permissions of /var/cache/zoneminder so then type:
Code: Select all
root#chown -R www-data /var/cache/zoneminder
