I would recommend starting with a fresh configuration file.? It looks
like some of the revisions indicated will not work.? In particular the
pid_file and vid_control_params revisions do not look like they would work.
Next, I'd recommend rebooting the computer to ensure that there are not
multiple instances of Motion running nor that any ports or devices got
stuck.
Finally, make sure that no other program is using the webcam. Only one
program at? time can access a webcam.? The message indicating "device
busy" means that some other program is using the webcam.
Also, for additional reference, there are a few intro videos available
for 4.2 .? They use as a sample a netcam so you would need to revise
'videodevice' where ever in the videos it is revising the 'netcam_url'

Also make sure to consult the motion guide.

There seems to be the issue. One might "killall motion" prior to
starting a new instance:
