Zoneminder does not start.

I have built ZoneMinder from the AUR. It compiled but I am having difficulty getting the software to start.

Startup:

$ sudo systemctl start zoneminder.service
Job for zoneminder.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status zoneminder.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

$systemctl status zoneminder.service

 zoneminder.service - ZoneMinder CCTV recording and security system

I have been scouring pages but to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.
