Hello everyone!

I am asking for some help since my upgrade of 1.32.3 to 1.34.2 shut my zoneminder down. The upgrade procedure itself did not report any troubles, yet after the upgrade it does not start:

What can I do with that?

P.S. It is (not) running on

What database server are you running?
Apache2 or NGINX?
How did you do the upgrade? Did you stop Zoneminder first?
Have you tried restarting the PC?

~$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.29, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

~$ apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
Server built: 2019-09-16T12:58:48

Updated by
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.34
$ sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade zoneminder

zoneminder was stopped during upgrade

Since that I have done both reboot and full 'apt-get upgrade' without noticeable effect...

I suspect you will have further issues, but this one you should be able to solve by doing:
mysql -u zmuser -p zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_update-1.33.11.sql

You may have to manually apply the rest as well ymmv.

Maybe try sudo zmupdate.pl

Thank you, Isaac! Your advice really helped. Althoug zmupdate.pl reported "Database already at version 1.34.2, update skipped." it appeared that all (or most) of the updates from /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_update* were not actually applied.

I have ran all respective updates manually and then zm started ok.
