Hi; Well, I've finally got python-1.5.2 installed and running and Zope re-installed from the source code to the point where it gives me the good 'ol *Done!* line, but when I type ./start & it chokes. Here's the print-out: thor:/apache/vhosts/Zope-2.2.4-src# ./start & [1] 4983 thor:/apache/vhosts/Zope-2.2.4-src# ------ 2000-12-23T21:44:24 PROBLEM(100) ZServer Computing default hostname ------ 2000-12-23T21:44:24 INFO(0) ZServer Medusa (V1.16.4.3) started at Sat Dec 23 13:44:24 2000 Hostname: thor.galaxynet.com Port:8080 ------ 2000-12-23T21:44:24 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Sat Dec 23 13:44:24 2000 Authorizer:None Hostname: thor.galaxynet.com Port: 8021 ------ 2000-12-23T21:44:24 INFO(0) ZServer Monitor Server (V1.8.4.1) started on port 8099 Traceback (innermost last): File "/apache/vhosts/Zope-2.2.4-src/z2.py", line 710, in ? pf = open(PID_FILE, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/apache/vhosts/Zope-2.2.4-src/var/Z2.pid' What am I missing?
