even when I go to http://192.168.0.253/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms it's still blank, although black, not white. here is the white page when I go to http://192.168.0.253/zm maybe something with cgi? logs aren't showing much, where should I look to see what the problem is?

Check /var/log/zm/web_php.log

I assume since you got a blank page you actually did the a2enconf zoneminder.

Normally a blank page means php crashed, and there should be more info in the apache logs, but you posted them and we don't see anything.

sudo a2enconf zoneminder
Conf zoneminder already enabled

no web_php.log

Hey, I have got the same issue after updating Ubuntu Server to 24.04, however my apache error log (/var/log/apache2/error.log) contains the following:

sudo apt install php-intl
sudo systemctl reload apache2

sudo systemctl reload apache2

page is still blank after this.

Don't know if this means anything but I can display

http://192.168.0.253/zm/robots.txt in browser
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
###

and for the heck of it

$ sudo apt list php
Listing... Done
php/oldstable,oldstable 2:7.4+76 all

Getting this in Chromium browser, still blank in firefox

just displaying index.php... should I try and repair php?

Same here, php-intl is already installed.

apt install php

working now... problem is i'm on 1.34 from my repository. how do I get to 1.36?

Still no joy on my end. I am running 1.36. Did you install from the PPA? You probably just need to update your software sources then.

I've done some more digging but still haven't been successful in finding a solution. I wonder whether there is an issue with compatibility with PHP 8.3 which ships with Ubuntu Server 24.04.1. I might end up having to reinstall the entire VM.

Having left this for a while, it seems to have fixed itself with an update of some package. All back to normal... pheew, I was dreading having to set this all up again.
