I'm having problems installing DirectoryStorage
The installation seems to be going well (e.g. everything get installed without error), but when a start Zope, I can't manage to logon. I run zope with the -u switch. Apparently, "the best workaround is to drop root privileges sooner, before starting Zope". Can somebody tell me what this means exactly ?
Dont start zope as root. Change to a different uid before running the start script. see doc/SETUID.txt
My second question is: Is there a way of installing Zope without having to use the -u switch ?
su zopeuser /path/to/zope/start I understand that this restriction in DirectoryStorage will go away in Zope 2.7, but it is good practice to avoid starting Zope as root in any case. -- Toby Dickenson http://www.geminidataloggers.com/people/tdickenson
