Yeah, I have given up putting Zoneminder on a working machine. KDE interferes, and the Apache2 and PHP installations are weird. There are all sorts of hidden gotchas if you have a machine with some history. PHP8.1 can't be installed over PHP8.0, and it's almost impossible to clear things.
I ordered a small computer which shall have Zoneminder exclusively. Every time there is a major upgrade, I shall reinstall Debian Sid from scratch. I did that on my older machine and bricked it.
ps. AHHH! I just added the two disks from old machine, and the 'sd*' was totally mixed up, and I nuked the boot disk. Good thing I had a boot install usb, or screwed city.
pps always put your install usb in a sacred place, with the password-protected bitcoin wallet
