Greetings thank you for your help. first i want to ask if i should reply to you like what i am doing now, or send the message to zope@zope.org <mailto:zope@zope.org>? I am new to mailing lists and don't know the rules. You should always stay on the list. It is common to just use 'Reply all' option when replying.
In my zope/log folder there is no event.log file, just a simple line readme.txt file. running the zopectl fg displayed the following:
/** OUTPUT **/ /tmp/zope/bin/runzope -X debug-mode=on 2007-06-15 09:33:41 INFO ZServer HTTP server started at Fri Jun 15 09:33:41 2007 Hostname: 0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0> Port: 8080 2007-06-15 09:33:51 INFO Zope Ready to handle requests Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 56, in ? run() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 21, in run starter.prepare() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/__init__.py", line 111, in prepare self.setupFinalLogging() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/__init__.py", line 372, in setupFinalLogging self.setupConfiguredLoggers() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/__init__.py", line 254, in setupConfiguredLoggers self.cfg.eventlog() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/ZConfig/components/logger/factory.py", line 32, in __call__ self.instance = self.create() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/ZConfig/components/logger/logger.py", line 42, in create handler = handler_factory() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/ZConfig/components/logger/factory.py", line 32, in __call__ self.instance = self.create() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/ZConfig/components/logger/handlers.py", line 69, in create logger = self.create_loghandler() File "/opt/Zope-2.10/lib/python/ZConfig/components/logger/handlers.py", line 87, in create_loghandler handler = loghandler.FileHandler(path) File "/opt/Zope- 2.10/lib/python/ZConfig/components/logger/loghandler.py", line 34, in __init__ StreamHandler.__init__(self, open(filename, mode)) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/zope/log/event.log' /** END **/ So seems that you have incorrect permissions set for /tmp/zope/log/event.log and you need to change them or start zope as different user. BTW you've chosen strange place (/tmp) to install your zope ;)
