This is a permission a problem with your var folder. Ensure that the Zope process has write permission to that folder. I assume you are running Zope as root and Zope changes its UID to nobody. To be honest the only reason to start Zope as root is to run Zope on a port < 1024. Is this what you really want? -aj ----- Original Message ----- From: <wayne@wayneconnolly.com> To: <zope@egroups.com>; <zope@zope.org>; <zope@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 10:38 Subject: [Zope] error message PANIC(300) at startup

G'day all,

When I try to start Zope-2.5.1_1 (after an installation without any error message on freeBSD) I got the following error-message:

PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/www/Zope/z2.py, line 690, in ? IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/www/Zope/var/Z2.pid'

When I have a look at the directory /usr/local/www/Zope/var/ the Z2.pid is missing... what can I do ?
