Hi, I am installing ZOPE-2.4.1 on linux (Redhat 7.0) After installation ,when i start zope i get a permission denied error. Details are listed below as on console :- *************************************************************************************************** [root@EP Zope2.4.1]# ./start -P 163.122.12.10:8000 ------ 2001-10-17T14:37:13 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Wed Oct 17 20:07:13 2001 Hostname: 163.122.12.10 Port: 8080 ------ 2001-10-17T14:37:13 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Wed Oct 17 20:07:13 2001 Hostname: EP.tatainfotech.com Port: 8021 ------ 2001-10-17T14:37:13 INFO(0) ZServer PCGI Server started at Wed Oct 17 20:07:13 2001 Unix socket: /home/ep/zope/Zope2.4.1/var/pcgi.soc ------ 2001-10-17T14:37:13 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /home/ep/zope/Zope2.4.1/z2.py, line 757, in ? IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/ep/zope/Zope2.4.1/var/Z2.pid' *************************************************************************************************** Although , the output says that the server has started ,but actually it has not (I checked that on the browser). I have given all the required read & write permissions to the /var directory and all files in it. But that does not help and still gives the above errors. It would be of great help if u could help me solve this. Regards, R.Girish, Associate Systems Engineer, Tata Infotech Ltd, ITPL,Bangalore-560066.
