Zoneminder not creating local unix sockets: Socket /var/run/zm/zms-581927s.sock does not exist

1) Keep the default zone apache.conf without the ScriptAlias.

2) Stop both zoneminder and apache2
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service zoneminder stop

2) Remove any stale sockets from /tmp/zm (default location):
sudo rm -vf /tmp/zm/*.*

3) sudo a2enmod cgi

4) Start zoneminder
sudo service zoneminder start

5) Start apache2
sudo service apache2 start

I found out that the order was important for step 4 and 5, otherwise it doesn’t work
