Zoneminder requires a web server and a background task:

 service httpd start
 service zoneminder start

From Start ZoneMinder

Look if there is something wrong with SQL dump import

In my case, in installation manual for Ubuntu 14.04 it is asked to import database dump with 

MySQL -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

this failed and halted due to error with creation of 'Logs' table. I then edited the SQL file to add 

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `Logs`;

before 

CREATE TABLE `Logs` (

and then imported the dump successfully. The zm service then started correctly without errors
