Ben, Check the permissions on the var folder, it needs to be writable by the user that starts Zope. This being said if you start Zope as root then the user changes to nobody, so var needs to be writable by nobody. something like chmod -R nobody:nobody var works for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Ocean" <beno@TheWebsons.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2000 9:50 PM Subject: [Zope] Closer But No Cigar

Hi; Well, I've finally got python-1.5.2 installed and running and Zope re-installed from the source code to the point where it gives me the good 'ol *Done!* line, but when I type ./start & it chokes. Here's the print-out:

thor:/apache/vhosts/Zope-2.2.4-src# ./start & [1] 4983 thor:/apache/vhosts/Zope-2.2.4-src# ------ 2000-12-23T21:44:24 PROBLEM(100) ZServer Computing default hostname ------ 2000-12-23T21:44:24 INFO(0) ZServer Medusa (V1.16.4.3) started at Sat Dec 23 13:44:24 2000 Hostname: thor.galaxynet.com Port:8080

What am I missing? TIA, BenO
