I fixed this permission and of another file, then decided to start the instance as root and seting up as effective user, the normal user.

I got then into lots of errors regarding reading permissions (one file at

time). I gave up and recursively gave o+r permissions to the whole installation.

Finally, I got it running, but all of this smells very wrong and indeed I want to run instances as normal user.

What am I doing wrong??

I encountered the same problem. See my earlier post: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2004-June/151545.html

You aren't doing anything wrong. The file permissions for Zope 2.7.1 are broken since many of the files necessary to start up Zope are only owner readable.

Hi Fernando,

I Install allways Python from source as root. For Zope I create a user zope su to this account and install Zope and create instances in its home folder.

There are no permissions to set like that.
