The Zope server can't be run , I think I do something wrong .But I don't know where I wrong .

You can run runzope as a non-root user and leave effective-user unset in zope.conf file OR set effective-user to a non-root user in zope.conf and execute runzope as root. See "effective-user" directivers in zope.conf for more details. -- -tick
