Steffen, It's advisable to unpack, compile, and start Zope as a non-root user unless you really want Zope to start on port 80. That said, you need to pass the -u option and a username to the start script ala: #./start -u zope - C On Fri, 2002-11-08 at 09:42, Bowen Steffan ap Geraint GT/IT wrote:
Brian Further problems
I have downloaded, tar & installed zope twice now, following all instructions that I have found. On trying to start Zope I get a message "A user was not specified to setuid to fix this to start as root see/doc/setuid.txt"
I have looked at setuid.txt and cannot work out the syntax to enter any command after trying multiple many many times. I was su ed to root when I ran the install in /usr/local/dc as in the documentation.
I would be pleased to get some assistance
Thanks Steffan

I have recently started a new job, and my first assignment is to upgrade currently dormant system which is in zope 1.10.2 (source release, python 1.5.1, linux2) to the latest version and I see that this week the latest became 2.6, I had never even heard of Zope before Tuesday, so I've been looking into it and found some documentation on installing and upgrading Zope 2.x and Upgrading to 2.2.0 (final release). Would this cover from 1.10.2 , or is there more help needed and if so where could I find the needed information.

Egad! 1.10.2? :^)
First, you'll need to convert your old object database to the ZODB 3 file storage format. From waaaayyyy back in HISTORY.txt:
An option has been added to the bbb.py script in the utilities directory to convert ZODB 2 database files to ZODB 3 format. The bbb.py script now accepts an '-f' option that takes an argument specifying an output file name. For example, to convert the ZODB 2 data file, Data.bbb, in the var directory, to ZODB 3 FileStorage format::
python utilities/bbb.py -f var/Data.fs var/Data.bbb
Note that version data are not converted.
