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 :-

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.
