I am still a newbie and today I tried to pack my ZODB, but that's not working. Turning debugging on doesn't help much: 2003-07-31T15:18:36 ERROR(200) ZODB packing Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/share/zope/zope-2.6.1/lib/python/ZODB/DB.py, line 499, in pack File /usr/share/zope/zope-2.6.1/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py, line 1496, in pack (Object: /var/lib/zope/zope-2_6_1/var/Data.fs) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/zope/zope-2_6_1/var/Data.fs' How is it possible that I can edit my ZODB just fine (through plone), but I cannot pack it? Apparently, it fails on attempting to open Data.fs for reading (i.e. file=open(name, 'rb')). The file is owned by user zope and group zope-2_6_1, with rw permissions for both. Any ideas?
