Mike, Hi... What port are you trying to bind Zope to? 8080? Or one under 1024? And how are you starting Zope? If you're trying to bind to a port under 1024 (such as port 80), you'll need to start Zope as root. - C -----Original Message----- From: Mike Salib To: zope@zope.org Sent: 10/16/99 9:38 PM Subject: [Zope] help! zope start failure on linux hi everybody, i'm running Zope 2 under RedHat Linux 5.2 Every time I start Zope now, I get this error: File "/home/mike/Zope-2.0.1-linux2-x86/z2.py", line 430, in ? logger_object=lg) File "/home/mike/Zope-2.0.1-linux2-x86/ZServer/medusa/http_server.py", line 53 4, in __init__ self.bind ((ip, port)) File "/home/mike/Zope-2.0.1-linux2-x86/ZServer/medusa/asyncore.py", line 205, in bind return self.socket.bind (addr) socket.error: (13, 'Permission denied') I'm not a unix newbie; i've been using unix for years. I know about basic file permission security. I've performed the following commands with no effect: chown nobody.nobody var chown nobody.nobody var/* chmod ago+rwx var chmod ago+rwx var/* I've verified that the var directory itself and all the files contained therein are owned by user nobody and group nobody and that everything is readable, writeable, and executable by user, group and all. I've also tried repeatedly deleting the pid files in the var directory. I've searched the zope@zope.org mailing list archives for the last few months. Other people have reported this problem, but some still can't seem to get it working. If anyone could suggest what I'm doing wrong here, please do!
