You have answer above. 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)

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
