I just installed zoneminder v1.28.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm trying to start it but in the log I get the following message, "Can't create missing temporary directory '/var/run/zm': Permission denied". I've searched the internet and can't find anything to fix this. Can anyone help?

Old question, but not many straight forward answers out there so...

Every reboot I have to do this, but it gets Zoneminder running.

sudo mkdir /var/run/zm -p && sudo chmod 777 /var/run/zm/

Or sudo mkdir /var/run/zm -p && sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/run/zm/

Then start

for me, its not a real risk to do either one of these, but you should check your own security needs before choosing.
