Package: zoneminder Version: 1.28.1-6~bpo8+1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I was at first unable to run zoneminder because the instructions in /usr/share/doc/zoneminder/README.Debian.gz were apparently incomplete. Until I chown'd /etc/zm/zm.conf and created a modified version of the zonemdinder.service in /etc/systemd/system/ , I was unable to run the program. I recommend telling users to chown zm.conf as root:www-data and to set the user for zoneminder to www-data in the service file, unless there is a better solution. Thanks for your help with debian! andrew Sep 17 13:40:41 debian zmpkg.pl[11065]: Can't open config file '/etc/zm/zm.conf': Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 100.
