I had the same problem as above and tried #8, this seemed to work for a while but then the errors reappeared in the log files. I then noticed that the time on the Zoneminder web page did not match the server time. I found a post (which for the life of me I can't find again to post here) that described this problem and how set the correct timezone in etc/php5/apache2/php.ini. This fixed the time issue, unauthenticated user issue and the socket issue.
