So first all my events and images are going to a external 20T USB drive that gets mirrored. You are going to find this odd, but.. this is being used as a SIEM
/var/log/events and /var/log/cameras replacing /var/lib/zoneminder/events and /var/lib/zoneminder/images. They still exist as well, but have symlinks to the USB drive. All permissions I have checked and double checked i.e the /var/cache/zoneminder /var/log/zm /etc/zm.conf /usr/share/zoneminder/www /dev/shm
I am sure it probably has something to do with apache2 and a php configuration?? idk. It's not my browser or the cache from my browser as it occurs on all my systems when remote using any browser.
I mean at this point I am just 777 everything until I get something working and will go back and change the perms

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 20 01:02 events -> /var/log/events
drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4.0K Apr 20 00:54 events.bak
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 20 01:45 images -> /var/log/cameras
drwxrwxrwx 11 motioneye motioneye 4.0K Apr 19 23:17 cameras
drwxrwxrwx 9 root root 4.0K Apr 20 01:46 events
Anyways, I am not really a php or apache expert. I know enough to apparently be dangerious. Good news is all my cameras easily transferred over. Would be nice to be able to see the live feeds though and pull up footage. Thanks in advance.
Ohh yeah, I also gave apache2 all the permissions it needs. i.e.
sudo a2enmod cgi
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod expires
sudo a2enmod headers
sudo a2enmod env
sudo a2enmod alias
sudo a2enmod mime
