[Zope] Re: installation security best practice question

Hi

Currently i am installing zope as root and then logging in as a user and making an instance. When i go to run the zope instance as the user its says i do not have the permissions to run the files.

If i change the permissions on the zope folder so that everyone has all permissions then it works however this isnt a great securtiy option

Give your Zope Instance(s) one dedicated user (e.g. 'zope'), i.e. Change the owner of the whole Instance to this user and then you won't have any troubles with the standard permissions that are configured by mkzopeinstance.py If you start your Instance(s) as that above user then you can avoid running your Instance(s) as root. Not much magic involved there... Kind Regards Maik
