For some reason there are no zombies near me. I see them spawning in the console but never see them. Is there something i need to change or what? Please help

Could you show me your config?

{
"Spawn Settings": {
"Spawn near players": true,
"Min pop for near player spawn": 10,
"Min distance from player": 40.0,
"Max distance from player": 80.0,
"Spawn Time": 19.8,
"Destroy Time": 7.3,
"Zombie Settings": {
"Murderer Population (total amount)": 50,
"Murderer Health": 100.0,
"Scarecrow Population (total amount)": 50,
"Scarecrow Health": 200.0
},
"Chance Settings": {
"Chance per cycle": 100.0,
"Days betewen spawn": 0
}
},
"Destroy Settings": {
"Leave Corpse, when destroyed": false,
"Leave Corpse, when killed by player": true,
"Half bodybag despawn time": true,
"Quick destroy corpses": true
},
"Behaviour Settings": {
"Attack sleeping players": false,
"Zombies attacked by outpost sentries": true,
"Ignore Human NPCs": false,
"Ignored entities (full entity shortname)": [
"scientistjunkpile.prefab",
"scarecrow.prefab"
]
},
"Broadcast Settings": {
"Broadcast spawn amount": true,
"Broadcast types separately": false
}
}

Are there 10 or more players on your server? You have "Min pop for near player spawn" set to 10 in your config, so the server must have 10 or more players for zombies to spawn near players.

It's a solo server so do I just change the "min pop for near player spawn" to 1? 

That should work.

{
"Spawn Settings": {
"Spawn near players": true,
"Min pop for near player spawn": 1,
"Min distance from player": 40.0,
"Max distance from player": 80.0,
"Spawn Time": 19.8,
"Destroy Time": 7.3,
"Zombie Settings": {
"Murderer Population (total amount)": 175,
"Murderer Health": 100.0,
"Scarecrow Population (total amount)": 195,
"Scarecrow Health": 200.0
},
"Chance Settings": {
"Chance per cycle": 100.0,
"Days betewen spawn": 0
}
},
"Destroy Settings": {
"Leave Corpse, when destroyed": false,
"Leave Corpse, when killed by player": true,
"Half bodybag despawn time": true,
"Quick destroy corpses": true
},
"Behaviour Settings": {
"Attack sleeping players": false,
"Zombies attacked by outpost sentries": true,
"Ignore Human NPCs": false,
"Ignored entities (full entity shortname)": [
"scientistjunkpile.prefab",
"scarecrow.prefab"
]
},
"Broadcast Settings": {
"Broadcast spawn amount": true,
"Broadcast types separately": false
}
}

I still don't see any zombies, but I get the notification that they spawned.

Update:
It seems the zombies are spawning now, but they're teleporting/lagging. I'll try cutting the number of zombies down maybe that'll help

It's fine now. Seems  like putting the amount of zombies to a higher number causes them to lag so I put it back to default.

I see that the zombies don't spawn everywhere like they use to. It seems they only spawn in the area you're at and once you leave that area, you don't encounter anymore zombies.
