Hard to tell without seeing the contents of your zoneminder log.

Do the following:
- restart zoneminder
- wait and watch the log. do not click on anything. Do NOT try to open a live view.
- You will eventually see something like "Capturing at x.xx fps" or you will begin to see error messages. When you see this, copy everything you see from the moment zoneminder was started to just after the error(s) occur. We need to see all of it.

We also need to know what distro you are using and how you installed zoneminder.

The fact that you can see "Capturing at 25.00 fps" in the logs means the backend is working for monitor #6, which means you have programmed that camera correctly.

This also means that the problem is with your Apache configuration as it relates to PATH_ZMS. This is also highly documented. You should review the Wiki documentation for installing ZoneMinder on Ubuntu 14.04, particularly the step that talks about setting PATH_ZMS, but you should also review all the other steps to make sure you did not miss anything else.
