"QWERTYAS Lee" wrote MayDay!! MayDay!!!! I just installed Zope on another machine after using it for a while on another machine. It installed fine, but when I do ./start to start the services the following is what I get: root@host2:/home/Zope-2.0.0b3-src# ./start------1999-08-11T19:02:13 = PROBLEM(100) ZServer Computing default hostname------1999-08-11T19:02:13 = INFO(0) ZServer Medusa (V1.10) started at Thu Aug 12 03:02:13 1999 = Hostname: host2.csps.tyc.edu.tw Port:8080 ------1999-08-11T19:02:13 INFO(0) ZServer FTP server started at Thu Aug = 12 03:02:13 1999 Authorizer:None Hostname: = host2.csps.tyc.edu.tw Port: 8021------1999-08-11T19:02:13 INFO(0) = ZServer Monitor Server (V1.5) started on port 8099Traceback (innermost = last): File "/home/Zope-2.0.0b3-src/z2.py", line 494, in ? pf =3D = open(PID_FILE, 'w')IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: = '/home/Zope-2.0.0b3-src/var/Z2.pid' =20 Seem I can't access var/Z2.pid.... but var/Z2.pid really exist.What = happended :( QWERTYAS Lee

Can Zserver open the Z2.pid file for writing? Bear in mind ZServer will try to change it's UID. Simple (and horribly insecure) fix is 'chmod 666 var/Z2.pid'. A better solution is to make var/ and contents be owned by the user that's ZServer is trying to run as. (DC folks: maybe a try/except around this with a nicer error message?) Anthony
