can someone please help me troubleshoot this?
Simple file permission problem. The user you're running Zope as doesn't have write permission to the folder /usr/local/zope/Zope.../var/ in order to write the file Z2.pid. It needs write permission to the whole .../var folder, since that's where the Zope data is. root@yourbox# chown -R running_zope_as /usr/local/zope/Zope.../var HTH. -- Joel BURTON | joel@joelburton.com | joelburton.com | aim: wjoelburton Independent Knowledge Management Consultant
