Can you send us a traceback like Bin Zhang did? Troy viriya wrote:
Hi, I run Zope-2.6.0 on FreeBSD 4.6.2 I got err message from failed start too. I am very new with Zope-2.6.0. I fixed by try and error method : 1.) start script >>> exec /usr/local/bin/python $cwd/z2.py -u root -w 80 "$@" 2.) z2.py >>>> line 830 if os.getuid() == 0: -----> if os.getuid() == 1: 3.) chmod o+t var/*.pid

Please don't send HTML messages to the list. It looks to me like your start script is not correct. You need to tell zope a user to change to. As the instructions below say, you should read the doc/SETUID.txt file: If you do need to have ZServer listening on low ports, you will need to start 'z2.py' as the 'root' user, and also specify what user ZServer should 'setuid()' to. Do this by specifying the '-u' option followed by a username or UID, either in the 'start' script or on the 'z2.py' command line. The default used to be 'nobody'; however if any other daemon on a system that ran as 'nobody' was compromised, this would have opened up your Zope object data to compromise. Troy Bin Zhang wrote:
I just downloaded Zope 2.6.0 to a Linux Redhat 7.1 machine. The install went without an error. But when I tried to start Zope it failed with the following messages.
