[Zope] RH 6.1 Startup error

[Karl Anderson]

I'll confirm that a vanilla RedHat 6.1 dist. with the Zope/zserver
2.0.1-4 RPMs doesn't work.  This is bothersome because 6.1 (or maybe
6.0) is the only RedHat dist. that comes with a recent enough Python.

I think that this is because the system logger isn't listening to a
port by default.  I changed /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog.d to do this by
default (with -r) & then restarted it.  For the paranoid, this is yet
another port being listened to, with DoS vulnerabilities mentioned in
the man page.

< #	daemon syslogd -m 0

You're supposed to be able to stop using the system logger with the
ZSYSLOG env var, which is set to "anything" in zserver.sh, but I
didn't have any luck with unsetting that.

I also had to set ZSYSLOG_SERVER for some reason.

ZSYSLOG_SERVER=127.0.0.1:514

Look in /var/log/messages to see that you're getting logs.

Oct 26 17:12:25 localhost Computing default hostname
Oct 26 17:12:25 localhost Medusa (V1.10) started at Tue Oct 26 17:12:25 1999 ^IHostname: dclxvi.foobar.not ^IPort:8080 
Oct 26 17:12:25 localhost FTP server started at Tue Oct 26 17:12:25 1999 ^IAuthorizer:None ^IHostname: dclxvi ^IPort: 8021

I'm still not getting Zope running with this fix, however - can't
write the pid file, even after I chmod'd /var/zope/var to be
rwx by everyone.  I have no idea what's going on.

dclxvi /var/zope### ./zserver.sh
dclxvi /var/zope### Traceback (innermost last):
  File "z2.py", line 498, in ?
    pf = open(PID_FILE, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'zserver.pid'

I'm able to get the welcome to Zope page when I tell it to use a pid
file of '':

/usr/bin/env python z2.py -Z '' -z /usr/share/zope -w 8080 -f 8021 -m '' -l zope.log 2>&1 >>zope.fatal.log
