hi duncan, this is because the process account (nobody takes over after you run start as root) needs write access to the var subdirectory where you installed Zope. change the mode of that directory (i usually do 'chmod 777 var') and it'll work jens

I have just installed Zope in Redhat 5.2.
As root, I typed "./install"
Then "./start."
In response I get :
