How can I to start Zope whit a different user than root and cath the default HTTP port?
Use different way - start Zope as root, catch port 80 and drop uid.
I receive an error becouse root hasn't granted the need privileges on /Zope/var/ directory.
This is a different error, not a problem with port 80, ah?
I see Oleg, more exactly I would start ZServer with an user like 'zope', for example, but at the same time I want it links the port 80!
I could use the root user simply but I'll lose my sleep :^)
Can you give me some input?
If you want to bind to ports <1024 you _must_ be root. ZXope can run as another user (the -u <user> option), but it must be _started_ as root, if you want to bind to port 80. Period. Sorry, there is no other way, short of making Sope SUID, which is a very, very, very, very, very, very bad idea. <ridiculously large sig snipped> -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.
