With the recent systemd upgrade (from version 236 to current 238) zoneminder will fail to start with the following error in the logs:

zoneminder.service: New main PID 360 does not belong to service, and PID file is not owned by root. Refusing.

I took a look at the Arch Linux service file and I see that they run the service as the apache user

This user change also requires that the '/var/run/zm' directory exists.

In the end this needs to be added to the service file.

[Service]
User=apache
RuntimeDirectory=zm
