Hi,
Today decided to download and install Zope 1.10.2 on my Dec Station
5000/240. I am new to Zope and have no experience but I have some
experience with python. I hope there is someone else who already
tried to install zope on Ultrix?

First I installed the new python1.5.2 - I hope Zope works with this
new python release? As I am planning to use Zope with apache-1.3.4,
I executed the script "w_pcgi.py". After some compiling, the process
reported errors: My system (ULTRIX 4.3A) does not support shared
modules, so I edited all "Setup" Files in "lib/python", commented
the line "*shared*" and did a "make python". Then I had a new
python binary that I installed over the old.
Was this the right thing to do or is there a better way? I found
no description of how to build Zope statically.

Ok, now I copied the "Zope.cgi" file into my /cgi-bin/ Directory
and started it ->  I received the Error: "Service temporarily
unavailable". Ok, the reason for it was that the "var" directory had
wrong permissions, I did a "chmod ugo+rwx var" and a "chmod ugo+rw
var/*" - 
but is this not quite dangerous for my system security?
Anyway, after that I received another error:
"Sorry, a SERIOUS APPLICATION ERROR occurred."

I had a short look into the logfile but it gave me no clue, so I gave up
for now. I hope you have some clue?

Here is the file "var/pcgi.log":

Please contact me if you have any idea to solve my problem.
