Issue

I currently have 1 Raspberry Pi 3B+ running as a hub. I am trying to connect a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a camera. motionEyeOS seems to install fine on the Zero without any error messages but refuses connections to port 80. This means I cannot configure the camera or any other settings (such as setting the device up as a fast network camera). The device does allow connections to port 8081 to view the camera stream.

The hub device works absolutely fine and both devices have official power supplies so don't believe power is an issue.

Connection refused on port 80 could be caused by one of the following (as far as I can tell):

you're not using motionEyeOS but rather motionEye for your actual camera system(s) and that's port 8765 by default
the motionEyeOS setup has somehow got corrupted and it simply won't start correctly anymore (in which case you'll need to reflash everything)
you have manually changed port 80 to something else in Expert Settings
you've got the wrong IP address or you have some other network connectivity issues

Log Files Had weird character lines with /00/00/00... in between reboots. Don't know if that's supposed to be there, but the editor definitely complained about this.

Issue Web interface was at port 8765 instead of 80 and the system kept rebooting every 5 minutes or so.

And in case someone does stupid like me the solution is: Reflash the sdcard, save the wpa_supplicant.conf on the boot partition with the other files (bootcode.bin etc) not in the empty boot folder and voilà!
