symlink(): Permission denied

[ZonedOut]

Ive upgraded from 1.33 to 1.34.22 on Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS.

Zoneminder still runs fine, but Im trying to turn get zmNinja to connect. In doing so I added user authentication, upon which zmNinja reports "API detection failed". Following the wiki and trying to ensure APIs are set correctly, I didnt get far. So I tried to turn on logging (as the zm log folder was empty). I now get the following error across my ZM screens:

Code: Select all

Warning: symlink(): Permission denied in /usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/functions.php on line 2231 

That functions.php file at line 2231 says

Code: Select all

 if ( file_exists(ZM_DIR_CACHE.'/'.$cacheFile) or symlink(ZM_PATH_WEB.'/'.$file, ZM_DIR_CACHE.'/'.$cacheFile) ) {

Code: Select all

and ZM_PATH_WEB is /usr/share/zoneminder/www whose permissions are  drwxr-xr-x www-data root

the ZM log folder was previously empty but I seem to have at least been able to turn on debug logging which reports:

Code: Select all

Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening and how to rectify it?
