Starting ZoneMinder: Can't open config file '/usr/local/etc/zm.conf': No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/ZoneMinder/Config.pm

This error had wasted half a day of mine............. But ultimately i came to know that its a silly installation issue, which is related to previous installations of zoneminder !

Just go to "/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/" and remove Zoneminder folder manually from there... Thatz it !

Now you can reinstall the debian package & hope it works !
