[Zope] Data.fs error on Pack

[Jon Whitener]

I have a similar problem.  I installed Zope on Linux as a regular user, but then changed it to run as root so that ZServer can use port 80.  I changed the ownership of the var directory to root, and use the command line parameter -u regularUser.

Now I can run Zserver on port 80, but I cannot pack the ZODB via the Web.  I get:


   Error Type: IOError
   Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/user/Zope-2.6.0/var/Data.fs.pack'

I'm no Linux expert.  What do we need to do to start Zope as root, switch running to a regular user (using -u on z2.py), and still be able to pack the database?
