Can some one definitively explain how to set _ALL_ the permissions, etc., so that Zope can start properly on boot?
for the most part, zope under apache should be running as nobody. unless you change something during your setup that makes it run differntly. but if you did the default installation, it should be ok. to change all the owner for everything under a certain directory. as root, in the /opt directory, type: $ chown -R nobody.nobody zope this will recurse the change owner down through the directory and all its subdirectories, setting both owner and group to nobody. also, in httpd.conf file, there are two lines that direct who the owner and group for your web files run as, if these are not nobody change them in that file. restart apache and zope and you should have everything set up. ciao! greg.
