[Zope] Zope Temporarily Unavailable

[Jonathan Nathan]

hello,

i'm struggling with a zope install.  trying to use zserver with pcgi on
top of apache 1.3.6 (mod_rewrite compiled in, the rewrite rule put into
httpd.conf). it's zope 2.0.0 and python 1.5.2

i get the infamous temporarily unavailable message, which comments:
Error parsing pcgi info file
pcgi-wrapper-version 2.0a5

if i run python pcgifile.py Zope.cgi i get
jon@w1:/web/zope# python pcgifile.py Zope.cgi
PCGI_SOCKET_FILE write permission error: /web/zope/var/pcgi.soc 

the files look like so:

jon@w1:/web/zope# ls -al var/
total 160
drwxrwxrwx   3 zopesrv  nobody    512 Sep 11 04:12 .

yes, i created a user and called him zopesrv and put him in the same group
as nobody.  figured this would ease apache/zope permissions problems.

i'm running the start and stop scripts as root - it seems like zope
creates the pcgi.soc file upon a connection.  if it's root owned and s777,
why am i getting permissions errors on it?  

here's my Zope.cgi:

jon@w1:/web/zope# more Zope.cgi
#!/web/zope/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper
PCGI_NAME=Zope
PCGI_PORT=8079
PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/web/zope/lib/python/Main.py
PCGI_PUBLISHER=/web/zope/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py
PCGI_EXE=/usr/bin/python
PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/web/zope/var/pcgi.soc
PCGI_PID_FILE=/web/zope/var/pcgi.pid
PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/web/zope/var/pcgi.log
PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1
BOBO_REALM=/web/zope/Zope.cgi
BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1
INSTANCE_HOME=/web/zope 

do i need the PCGI_PORT ?  what's the deal with PCGI_MODULE_PATH ?  it
defaulted to /web/zope/lib/python/Zope but the pcgifile.py didn't like
that. i changed it to Main.py because i saw a few other posters do that in
the list archives.  

any advice would be appreciated greatly

thanks
-jon
