I am running into errors while trying to install Zope on a RedHat 7.1 servers. I have tried installing Zope on two servers and get the same errors on both servers. I want to run Zserver as a separate server apart from the Apache web server which is running on port 80. I am installing the Zope-2.4.1-linux2-x86.tgz binary.

Can anyone help me?

When I run ./install, I get the following errors:

Compiling python modules File "/usr/local/zope/lib/python2.1/test/nocaret.py", line 2 [x for x in x] = x

SyntaxError: can't assign to list comprehension SyntaxError: from __future__imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future3.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future4.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future5.py, line 4) SyntaxError: from __future__imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future6.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future7.py, line 3) Then, it seems to creates the inituser, default database, pcgi resource file, start script, and stop script without error.

When I run ./start, the Zserver seems to start. I receive instructions about :8080 and :8021 ports, but then I get the following error:

PANIC (300) x2 Startup Exception Traceback (innermost last):

File /usr/local/zope/z2.py. line 757, in ? IOError: [Errno 13] Permission Denied: '' I have doubled check the permissions. Every file under /usr/local/zope/ is owned by root:users.

What might be going on? Of course, when I try to open the zope program via a web browser, the error says that the server was not located.

Thanks for any help you may offer.

Hi Michael, The errors you get during the installation of the Zope-2.4.1-linux2-x86.tgz binary should not worry you. They come from a Python 2.1 test suite, which is not needed for Zope. So, your installation is fine. Then during the start, you get a permission error for the file */usr/local/zope/var/Z2.pid*. The Zserver is not allowed to access the process id file due to a permission problem. Which is the user, you use to start Zope? Do again check, wether this fits with the users:group *and* permission settings of /var directory and the Z2.pid file. The problem really lies in that access permission conditions. Something does still not fit there. The user running the Zope server process has to have *write* access to that file Z2.pid. HTH -- Flynt
