Ubuntu 16.04 is scheduled for release on April 21, 2016. As of this, March 25, 2016, the final beta has been released and it contains Zoneminder 1.29.0! The following procedures were run on the final Beta 16.04. Things could change in the next couple of weeks!
If you are interested in upgrading your current Ubuntu/Zoneminder to Ubuntu 16.04, see here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issues_with_Zoneminder_Installation_on_Ubuntu#Ubuntu_16.04_-_ZM_1.29.0_Upgrade I would remind you that these are preliminary procedures and may not always work!
I would advise you not upgrade a working "production" Zoneminder server until I've had a chance to do some testing. If you must test yourself PLEASE use a VM or a PC you can afford to wipe and start over with!
This procedure uses the default MySQL 5.6. Mariadb can be installed to replace MySQL. See Option below.
Thanks,

Zoneminder 1.29.0 on Ubuntu 16.04
Install Basic Server (if you used the mini.iso), OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server
Log in then become root:
sudo su
Make sure you are up to date
apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade
Optional: Install MariaDB Server 10.0. This replaces MySQL 5.6. It will use the current configuration file (my.cnf) and current databases. MariaDB has some enhanced features which do not exist in MySQL and thus migration back to MySQL might not always work.
apt-get install mariadb-server (MySQL will be removed)
Note: The MySQL/MariaDB configuration file is located at: /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf To better manage the MariaDB server I recommend you move the config file:
rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf (this removes the current symbolic link)
cp /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
To change Mariadb settings:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Install Zoneminder
apt-get install zoneminder php5-gd
Create Zoneminder database in MySQL (Note: this also creates the default Zoneminder user and permissions in MySQL)
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
Set permissions of /etc/zm/zm.conf to root:www-data 740
chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
Create a new user
adduser www-data video
Enable CGI, Zoneminder and rewrite configuration in Apache.
a2enmod cgi
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod rewrite
Fix Permissions
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
Fix to allow API to work
nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Change None to All two places as shown below
<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Enable and start Zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
Add timezone to PHP
nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and make changes as follows for your time zone
[Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = America/New_York
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
Restart Apache
service apache2 reload
Open Zoneminder in a web browser (http://server-ip/zm).
