I am new Linux/Pi and this forum but know a bit of the basics now. I have been trying over the last 2 days to get Zoneminder working on my new Pi and I just cant do it. Normally I find a tutorial on the web but not one of them I have tried works.

Im running Rasbian. Everything seems to work but when I go to try and load the gui in the browser i get error cant find page requested.

Can anybody share their words of wisdom/tech expertise please before I pull out my hair? :roll:

I had a similar issue when zoneminder seemed to install ok but the web gui did not load with a 404 webpage not found error.
It looks like the Zoneminder gui was located in a different location that where I expected.
The location that was loading when I went to http://raspberry-pi/zm was looking for /var/www/zm/ '
The location that Zoneminder installed the web gui files to was /usr/share/zoneminder/ (found this location in /etc/zm/zm.conf under # Path to ZoneMinder web files)
I created a symbolic link for /var/www/zm/ to point to /usr/share/zoneminder/ and it looks like it's worked.

Other possible things to check could be
What's the url you are using to try and access it?
Check firewall. Do you have other web gui's load for other applications? Is port 80 allowed through?
Does the Zoneminder service start ok?

Good Luck
