I have a fresh install of Zope 2.6.4, installed from the Gentoo ebuild. I ran "zope-config -zpasswd", and then started my instance from the script provided in /etc/init.d (all default Gentoo). Now, when I go to http://localhost:8080 I get the following message: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Error Type: IOError Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '//usr/share/zope//zope-2.6.4-r1/lib/python/App/dt ml/zope_quick_start.dtml' -------------------------------------------------------------------- The page then offers the following troubleshooting advice, none of which seems to be actually helpful in this case (although I could be missing something!) * The URL may be incorrect. * The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. * A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. I've checked /usr/share/zope//zope-2.6.4-r1/lib/python/App/dtml/zope_quick_start.dtml and made sure that the user running zope (in this case 'root') has explicit permissions to the file, which it does. I've checked the logs for this instance of zope, and there are no errors reported. I'm sure the problem is something embarrassingly easy, however I can't think of what else to check. I notice that the path mentioned begins with '//', although I can't imagine that that would be the problem (its odd, but still valid). I've also been searching google for more information on this problem, however the only hit I found which seemed to possibly be the same problem was in Japanese :( I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or advise they might be willing to share. TIA, Steph
