Blank to all I have installed zope-2.6.0_1 on freebsd 4,7 stable but I have of the problems to make to start it.

If launch zope from root with

su-2.05b# ./start I receive this error SystemExit: A user was not specified to setuid to; fix this to start as root (see doc/SETUID.txt)

I have tried also always launch it with l option - u from root

su-2.05b# ./start -u slupz

SystemExit: /usr/local/www/Zope/var is not owned by root, fix this to start as root (see doc/SETUID.txt)

Someone puo gives to me one aid hand? Thanks to all. Excused for my English.

To run Zope on port 80 on various UNIX-types, it needs to start as root and drop to a normal user. That user is defined in the -u parameter, which you are doing. There are also other things you need to do: make your var directory owned by root and set the "sticky bit" All this is explained in docs/SETUID.txt You could also let it run on an unpriveledged port (like 8080) and start it as a normal user. --jcc
