if you are starting zope as root, the following (from the Zope root
folder) should work:

chown nobody access
chown -R nobody var

then you can start.  If you're starting zope as some other user, then
replace "nobody" with other user.  All the files in var need to be owned
by nobody or the starting user.  Copying Z2.pid won't work, because zope
sets it afresh each time it runs.
