[Zope] I'm having a problem with ./start of ZServer on my machine....

[Xeno Campanoli]

The symptom is as follows:

------
1999-12-23T19:41:32 INFO(0) ZServer PCGI Server started at Thu Dec 23 11:41:32 1999
        Unix socket: /root/shop/Zope-2.1.1-linux2-x86/var/pcgi.soc
------
1999-12-23T19:41:32 INFO(0) ZServer Monitor Server (V1.5) started on port 8099
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/root/shop/Zope-2.1.1-linux2-x86/z2.py", line 574, in ?
    pf = open(PID_FILE, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/shop/Zope-2.1.1-linux2-x86/var/Z2.pid'
devil:~/shop/Zope-2.1.1-linux2-x86# 

the latter indicated directory being in /root for the root user.  As this is 
apparently supposed to work 'out of the box', I thought it would be worth
emailing you first.

My system is a Debian slink, and cksum gets the following:

1156543682 2384334 Zope-2.1.1-linux2-x86.tgz

Please advise.  Thank you.  Sincerely, Xeno
