OK Sean:

As you told me I did the following:

logged as root
Installed Python2.1 from source and its working fine
Installed Zope 2.6.1 from source using Python 2.1

I chmod o+t var

If I try to ./start being logged as root
I get a message: A user was not specified to setuid to;
I also get a message saying that /usr/local/Zope/var directory isn't owned
by root
(I have read the SETUID.txt document but could not come out with an answer)

If I try to ./start being logged as aodor  (./start -u aodor)
I get a message: access denied

Can you tell me what's missing?
Can ZServer and Apache run together or do I have to shutdown Apache to start
ZServer?
What should the permissions, Owner and Group for the var directory be?

They will definitely co-exist - install Python 2.1.3 from source in
/usr/local, and change the binary name for /usr/local/bin/python to
/usr/local/bin/python2.1.  Install Zope from source by using that python:

e.g. 'cd [zope-src-dir]; python2.1 wo_pcgi.py'

I tried that and it didn't work. Could the problem be that my RedHat 8
installation has python 2.2.1?
If so, would I solve the problem installing python 2.1.3? can 2.2.1 and
2.1.3 coexist in the same server?
