I would go back over the instructions to see if you missed something. You may want to start with a fresh Ubuntu install. Do Not use a VM or try to install in a container. Don't look at a step and think you don't need it. I have run that install on average once a week since 16.04 came out and have never had an install fail or refuse to run. Oh, do not use the PPA master as sometimes that does not work well...

Hi had the same issue yesterday. After 2 retry on fresh install on Ubuntu i found the cause. With the PPA iconnor, it seem to install ZM 1.29 and not 1.30. I successful to finish installation with the 1.29 installation guide with assign right and create DB in MYSQL. But at the end, i have the ZM 1.29 and not 1.30. I am here in my understanding, if it can help someone?

It looks like there is an issue with your mysql credentials.

Why the version installed of ZoneMinder is 1.29 after corrected mysql issue? I will retry this week-end with Centos and retry with Ubuntu.

Ok. I resolve the my problem. Thanks iconnor, it's a mysql credentials problem. My mistake was putting a root password. This morning i was't give root password for mysql when installing Ubuntu and it's working with Zoneminder 1.30.

Thanks
