[Zope] Zope on Mac OS X -- startup exception

[Chris Africa]

I just installed Zope 2.4.3 (python 2.1) on Macintosh OS X Server (10.1.1).
The install went okay, but I can't start up the server. The error log shows
this error:


------
2001-12-03T15:38:11 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception
Traceback (innermost last):
  File z2s.py, line 861, in ?
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/Zope/var/Z2.pid'

------
2001-12-03T15:38:11 PROBLEM(100) zdaemon zdaemon: Mon Dec  3 10:38:11 2001:
The kid, 25215, died on me.



Another Zope user gave me this piece of advice: "The problem looks like you
installed the package as a different user to the one you're trying to run it
as."

I installed as cafrica and logged in to my machine as cafrica, but the
passwords are different. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I fix it?
