Yes, of course.  Typo.

Yes, I figured it was a permissions problem, but I didn't find the answer in
the docs.  It is an ownership issue, not a

No dice.  I even tried chmod -R 777 on the entire zope dir structure. Same
error. (Don't worry, I would never leave it set this way)

The problem is apparently related to running zope as root.  I reinstalled as
a regular user and had no problems, which is what I should have done in the
first place.  And you're right; zope doesn't change users, only the user
that ZServer runs as is set by the start script.

All is working fine now.

Thanks for your help,
