Re: [Zope] solution for alpha2 permissions problem?

It seems pretty clear from this traceback that Zope does not have permissions to write a pid file. My guess is that since this bit of code operates after Zope has changed uid, nobody probably doesn't have write access to 'var/Z2.pid'

Make sure that the var directory *and all the files in it* are owned by the uid the Zope is running as.

$ chown -R nobody var $ chgrp -R nobody var

That doesn't work, even when I chmod 777 the directory and files. When I truss it, it seems to actually be complaining about not being able to write to stuff in /tmp (which is also writable by nobody/everybody).
