Thanks. I set up a new instance but yes that would be the issue. I hadn't stopped the zope server.

 

By the way I had a couple of issues running the mkzopesintance.py file as non-root. Had to use a browser based webadmin tool to assign permissions.

 

Would you know the unix syntax to assign read, write and execute permissions to a user on a whole directory which is required for running mkzopesintance.py under the non-root user?

 

I tried chgrp and chmod but couldn't get it working command line.

Try it again while your Zope instance is shutdown.
