The user running the zope processes might not be who you think it is. If you start zope as the root user the process will switch to the nobody user. Do a "ps aux" to see what user zope is really running as (after starting it) and then adjust the permissions to allow that user to read or write or whatever else is needed.

hey, ive got zope running but when i try to start it up i get:
Traceback (innermost last): File /root/Zope-2.3.1-src/z2.y, line 755, in ? IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: `/root/Zope-2.3.1-src/var/Z2.pid'
it starts up fine in read only mode, but when i try to access things using worldpilot, i get the same crap but for worldpilots files. all the directories are writable, and i can touch and write to the files it mentions from bash. could sombody *please* tell me what is going on here? -Joey D'Anna
