chown root.root /var/Zope-2.1.1-src/var
chmod 700 /var/Zope-2.1.1-src/var

should do the trick, provided that you want to run Zope as root.
Personally, I shoved it in my home directory and run it from there,
because I'm playing around with writing my own Products.

There are several io streams used by programs:
stdin: keyboard input (redirected by < )
stdout: console output (redirected by > )
stderr: error messages (redirected by 2> )

That way you can redirect all output of a command to a file, but still
see error messages.

python z2.py 2> zope-err.log &

or something similar will redirect all stderr output to zope.log.

python z2.py &> zope-err.log &

will redirect both stdout and stderr to zope-err.log. For more
information on this, check out the bash man page and search for
REDIRECTION. You'll find out more than you ever wanted to know :-).

Zope is already logging all requests in a form that log analyzers like
analog, et. al can get to in <Zope Dir>/var/Z2.log.
