On Sun, 20 Dec 1998, Jeff Bauer scratched:
My first thought as well (Linux box) and Zope starts, but not on Port 80.
To run port 80 on Unix you'll have to be root, which is probably not a good idea for development, if you can avoid it.

Now I'm confused, had to happen didn't it? 1) Can't install Zope as root because my machine doesn't run as root. Check. 2) Install Zope as me and Zope runs now, can start and stop. Check. 3) Can't run Zope on port 80 unless I'm root. No Check. Why is development on port 80 bad? I've done it many times on a spare IP address with Webstar and QPQ and Webten. When eveything works I move the site to an address with the proper domain. Is this a Unix thing I should know about? Do I need to create a user with root access to control Zope and su <zopeuser> whenever I need to maintain the Zope directory? DAve.
