When i try to pack the data base I get the following error for Data.fs

Error Type: IOError Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

Does anybody know what the permissions should be set to for the var directory and the files withinn it.

I had the same problem a while ago. I run Zope as nobody.nobody, but var was owned by root.users as I remember it. I you run it as nobody.nobody, permissions should be like 0771 on the var dir. Data.fs should be like nobody.nobody and 0660. If you run it as root.<whatever>, it should (could) be 0711 on var. Data.fs should be root.root and 0600. Correct me if I'm wrong. -- Best regards / Mvh., Steen Suder, sysadm kollegie6400.dk -|- OpenSource --- Sign of the time Scan-Aqua ADVARSEL WARNING http://www.uk.k64.dk/sfs/Scan-Aqua/
