Not quite sure how you've got into that situation. To run Zope as a user 'zope' you can still *start* it as root. As root, try:
./start -u zope
now i'm getting the startup exception again. the output is below:
<snip>
2002-03-01T17:20:31 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/z2.py, line 688, in ? IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/zope/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/var/Z2.pid'
So, the user 'zope' does not have write access to the var directory and therefore cannot create the Z2.pid file.
seb
are you sure about that? please look at the following output: [root@grumpy Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86]# pwd /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86 [root@grumpy Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86]# ls -l | grep var drwxrwxrwx 2 zope users 4096 Mar 1 12:48 var [root@grumpy Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86]# the var directory owner is *zope* and has full access. am i overlooking something?
