I read it several times, but the only reference I found inside regards the effective user, used when you start zope as root and then "setuid" it At least I understood it this way Gaël Andreas Jung <andreas@andreas-jung.com> wrote on 14/05/2004 15.40.44:

Hi All

I've installed zope 2.7.0 (on SuSe 9.0) and succeeded in configuring rewrite rules and virtual host with apache 2 For the time being I'm starting it as root and setuid it as zope (using etc/zope.conf)

I would like to start it directly as zope (I don't need to bind to port/1024) but it's not clear to me how to do it. With the previous version there was the -u switch that allowed you to specify which user to use. I search for some similar option, read the startup script and search the web but I'm not able to find it.

Any pointer to some documentation would appreciated

Thanks

Gael

I use 'sudo -u zopeuser <instance>/bin/zopectl start'.

I didn't thing about it as I was searching for a zope switch but it's a good idea. Thanks For what it's worth, I just wanted to say that I really like this new installation and configuration, really good job Gaël
