It means the Zope process does not have permission to write to the var directory (under the Zope home).
Don't run Zope as root; set up a different Zope userid to run the software and have the software and data homes owned by the Zope userid.
ok. i created a user called *zope* and recursively changed the ownership of the zope directories to the zope user. but now i'm getting a *permission denied* message when i run the zope startup script. the output is below: [zope@grumpy Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86]$ ./start ./start: /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/bin/python: Permission denied ./start: exec: /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/bin/python: cannot execute: Permission denied [zope@grumpy Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86]$ pwd /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86 [zope@grumpy Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86]$ cd bin [zope@grumpy bin]$ ls -l total 1424 -rwxrwxrwx 1 zope users 1453722 Jan 25 13:47 python [zope@grumpy bin]$ the file *python* is owned by the zope user who has full access to the file. yet, i'm getting a *permission denied* error when the startup script attempts to execute this file. any ideas on how to resolve this issue? tia
