Greetings,
Thanks for the reply, but I don't think I made myself very clear. When I start the zope server as root (linux here) and run the ./start file on line 494 the problem happens. Can't create the file!
Phil (Susan?) was correct, when you start zope as root, it turns itself into nobody, just like almost all other servers do. 'nobody' does not have permission towrite your var directory. Either run it as a different user, or change your directory permissions. If you are running linux, there are several good security references on LDP site. You should have a fairly firm grasp of unix security if you want to run servers. http://www.linuxdoc.org/ -Michel
