I fixed it. It seems one symlink was missing from:

I note that this thread solved my issue a while back, but I just did an emerge sync and then update world, BUT I forgot to lock down zoneminder,
and it was upgraded to 1.30.4. Well, my once working zoneminder will no longer start. I am having some trouble figuring out
why it will not start. /var/log/messages seems to indicate that there is a problem with libmysqlclient.so.18.4.0, and also with AnalysisFPS, but
for some reason I feel like that might be a red herring.

Also note, I upgraded the db with zmupdate.pl, it seemed to run without incident.

Here is the output of /var/log/messages after I start zoneminder.

Update to my previous post.

I realized through some other reading that the AnalysisFPS was in fact an error, and I fixed that with the following mysql command:

That message just means that the faulting instruction was in libc. It is probably an application misuse of a C library function, such as passing a null pointer where that is not permitted. We would need to know the faulting function, register context, and preferably a backtrace to diagnose the problem. You will need to build the affected modules with debug symbols (CFLAGS including -ggdb and FEATURES including one of nostrip or splitdebug).

I am not sure if this is what you are after, but I enabled debug and did a trace on /etc/init.d/zonemidner and received the following:

I now see this in /var/log/messages:

I've installed 1.32.3 and seems it worrk, but I can't access to api:
when I test api version http://[server]/zm/api/host/getVersion.json i recive "The requested URL /zm/api/host/getVersion.json was not found on this server."

This is my apache2 config file for zoneminder (10_zoneminder_app.conf)

API Issue SOLVED!!!
With PHP 7.2 we have to make this correction:
in apache configuration we have to add this:

I was not suggesting any particular origin. I thought from guerro's remarks that 1.32.3 was available in the main tree. I did not check that, and see now that there is no 1.32.3 in the main tree.

I categorically discourage anyone installing outside Portage if at all available, because only the simplest of out-of-tree programs avoid making a mess. If you want to use an out-of-tree version, I strongly suggest you find or create an ebuild to wrap the version you want to use, then install that ebuild.

To answer that, we would need to know exactly what was changed, trace down exactly how it now dies, or both. If I were to guess, I would say that Zoneminder was doing something that is not technically legal, but happened to work with your old package setup. When you upgraded, you switched to a package which no longer allows the technically invalid operation.

The oubliette overlay has a working zoneminder-1.32.3. From what I can tell, there is no current zoneminder maintaner for the current tree so an overlay my be your best bet.
