I searched my email archives of Zope for 'Permission denied' which I found
in the traceback which I found as suggested by Michel.
  "error: (13, 'Permission denied')"

There weren't but a couple of messages with such, but one caught my attention.

Jeff Bauer was talking about someone running Zope as root.
As I am still a clueless newbie with Linux, I hadn't added any users yet.

Well I reinstalled Linux, yes again. For me it is easier than trying to
find extraneous files and removing them as I experiment with setup and
configuration.
I have to keep my drive reasonably clean as it is only a 1gig partition.

I adduser'd jimmie.

I then installed KDE 1.1 set it up and configured it.
Now I have a setup I can grok. :)
My penguin is happy.

Installed Zope as root. It told me jimmie didn't have permission. :)
Need to learn more about permissions.
Tried Zope as root. Same errors.

Logged in as jimmie. Tried Zope. Success.

Thanks Jeff and Michel. :)

Now time to get into it.
