[Zope] [Q]Requesting Help for Zope install

[Carl David]

I feel like an idiot, but I just can't get zope running on a RH7.1 linux
box, no matter what permissions I set for the var directory or its
contents, and whether or not I install as root, or -u nobody, etc.,
etc., etc..
It runs from the command line, but not from /etc/rc.d/init.d/...
If I start using the Control Panel, the control panel screws up (can't
close window).
chkconfig doesn't work.
I've run out of options, and worse, I got this going once before, and,
of course, kept no notes.
Can someone definitively give me a hand?
Thanks
Carl David
