Let me kindly know whether we have to install Zope at the root directory of the Linex machine. B'coz When we tried to install zope at the directory 'root/home/pgmtool' Zope got installed but when the ./start was run it gave the error as 'z2.py permission denied'. what may be the problem ?. Do we need to install zope at the root directory only ?. Please throw some light.

It seems you misunderstand what "root directory" means under Unix systems. "root directory" means / , the root of the filesystem. "root's directory" means the home directory of the user named root (with userid 0). Some times it is set to / but under GNU/Linux it is set to /root/ "root's directory" is usually only readable by the root user, but Zope runs as the nobody user, this explains your permissions problem. hoping this helps.
