The user that Zope runs as does not have permission to write one of it's
pid files.  Make sure that if you run Zope as root, that the user
'nobody' can read and write the /var directory.  Otherwise there are a
number of good online tutorials on basic system security and tools that
you should familiarize yourself with.
