Trying to install with https enabled

Hi guys,

I've been using ZM for years and love it - but have now decided to improve my system to use the ZMeventnotification and face recognition push to my IOS mobile.

To do this I understand that ZM must be running in HTTPS with real certifcates from Letsencypt for example.

To get a certicate from Letsencrypt I've got a domain running from xxxxx.ddns.net and that works fine with Apache.

I've installed ZM as standard on Ubuntu 20.04 using this guide https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... der_1.34.x and it works fine but not in HTTPS as you might expect.

I've googled around for a guide / wiki and not found anything. I don't want to run a 'docker' as I prefer to build locally.

I have HTTPS and ZM running seperately and was wondering how I make my HTTPS webserver work with ZM.
Once that is sorted then I can move onto the ZMevent notification fun !

Many thanks Tim

seems it was working all along as when I go to xxxxx.ddns.net/zm up pops my zm console page !

Not sure if I went about it the correct way but following the digitalocean instructions to get https working then overlaying the wiki guide to install zm seems to work but I did add an extra line to the install script.

a2enmod ssl
