hello - can anyone offer some advice on this error message, from a new installation of Zope-2.2.5 on YellowDog Linux 2.3 ppc ?
(stderr.txt pasted below)
the Zope server was compiled from source, by root, and built in /usr/local/Zope-2.2.5
How was the server started? It sounds like it is probably running as someone other than root (which is a Good Thing), and that user does not have permission to write to '/usr/local/Zope-2.2.5-src/var/Z2.pid'. The user is probably 'nobody', which is also good. Where did you get the error messages, from /usr/local/Zope-2.2.5-src/var/debug.log or from the console? The problem should be corrected by changing the permissions of the directory /usr/local/Zope-2.2.5-src/var and probably some of the files in it, so that 'nobody' can write there. Something along the lines of: % chgrp nobody /usr/local/Zope-2.2.5-src/var % chmod g+w /usr/local/Zope-2.2.5-src/var % chgrp nodbody /usr/local/Zope-2.2.5-src/var/* % chmod g+w /usr/local/Zope-2.2.5-src/var/* should do what you need, although there may be more secure ways to do the same thing.
