Failed to start ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance

Post by Melsiar »

Hello,

I noticed this anomaly in my logs (I think since I did my last update) :
#systemctl status zoneminder

● zoneminder.service - ZoneMinder CCTV recording and surveillance system
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Do you have any idea for this problem?

if I try to start the service manually, it's the same (systemctl start zoneminder)

zoneMinder v1.36.35 runs on GNU/Debian 11 stable.

Thank you for your help
