I (still) cannot pack my ZODB via the Web. This has been vexing me for months. I get this error:

Error Type: IOError Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '$ZOPEDIR/var/Data.fs'

Make sure zopeUser owns the var/ directory as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, but changing the ownership of $ZOPEDIR/var prevented Zope from starting up: 2003-09-04T15:13:55 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /zope/z2.py, line 855, in ? SystemExit: $ZOPEDIR/var is not owned by root, fix this to start as root (see doc/SETUID.txt) I need to run on port 80, and the SETUID.txt file indicates root must own $ZOPEDIR/var. Jon
