I installed Zope 2.3.0-x86 under SuseLinux 7.1 - but I can't start it. When I start "./start" (as root), an error of type 13 occurs: "permission denied" when the start-script tries to create the pid-file (Z2.pid). I have set the write-permissons of all directories/files around Zope to "all" - but the error stays and Zope is not starting up. Does the "var" directory already exists?

A colleague reported recently, that a newly installed Zope was lacking a "var" directory (which probably is build by the "python w*_pcgi.py"). Dieter
