RE: [Zope] error message PANIC(300) at startup

: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/www/Zope/var/Z2.pid' Zope creates the file everytime it starts up. Some FreeBSD variants and Gentoo Linux is known to restrict rights for "nobody" to "nothing". Unless you want to change the nobody user, create a "zope" user and do a chmod. Don't forget to change the user in either the start script or in your own startup script. Cheers, Timo
