To run as root you have to change effective-user at zope.conf file
I tried to change effective-user from the zope.conf.in file and saved it as zope.conf, I used the command effective-user tleis , as stated in the example of that file, but no thing changed. if anyone knows why please tell me (just curousity)
When everything was ok in the past I was able to run zope through ./zopectl start (as a root) but now the stop command displays that the daemon manager is not open.
Strange that it worked. In general I think you shouldn't run zope as root.

I created a new user as Maciej said, and there i tried to create an instance, but I got a denied permission message. What I did finally is that I deleted the folders in both /tmp/zope and /opt/Zope-2.10 folders, and installed Zope Again and everything is working fine right now! but i still want to understand why this happened to me? Thanks for you
