It helps enormously, now I know which way is up 8-)

Still, there seem to be problems:

If I try to visit
http://localhost/zm/index.php
I get a 404.

If I try to run the daemon manually I see:

bob@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo zmc -d localhost
03/27/24 13:43:48.107397 zmc_dlocalhost[400666].ERR-zm_db.cpp/55 [Can't connect to server: Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost']

03/27/24 13:43:48.107614 zmc_dlocalhost[400666].FAT-zm_config.cpp/67 [Can't connect to db. Can't continue.]

Zoneminder was set up using sudo apt install zoneminder, no manual configuration. 

The errors above make it look like maybe some sort of install script needs to run
for setting permissions. Sudo zmu reports the same permissions error as zmc.

I did check that 
sudo more /etc/zm/zm.conf
displays a reasonable looking file.

Any further hints appreciated!

Thanks for writing!
