A: What does it say in {zope-home}var/Z2.log?
B: What happens if you run the commands from the init.d script one by
one from a command line?
C: I also run MDK 8.2, and I'm not thrilled with the RPM. Personally, I
copied that init.d script, deleted the RPM, put a binary installation
package of Zope under /usr/local and then modified the init.d script to
start my copy of Zope instead of the RPM copy. The only benefit RPM
offers in this case is the ability to verify packages, and a quick cron
script using the md5sum command would do that for you just as well.
