When you start Zope as root, Zope changes the UID to nobody. Check if the nobody user has permissions to write to the Z2.pid file.
This behavior really needs to be changed. Obviously nobody is better than root, but it's still not the safety net everyone thinks it is (see http://www.zope.org/Members/zigg/DontRunAsNobody). Z2 needs to quit if it's being run as root.
I disagree. Let's say it "Z2 must quit with an error message and explanation if it's being run as root and -u option omitted". Ok? Oleg. -- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
