[Zope] Zope 2.6.3 and packing

[Roel Van den Bergh]

Hi,

I just installed a vanilla Zope 2.6.3 build from source with Python 2.1.3
from source, installed CMF and NuxUserGroups on top of it.
Imported a CMF site from a 2.5.1 production Zope server and started playing
around. Did not encounter many problems (yet)

But every time I try to pack the Data.fs I get :

Error Type: IOError
Error Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/usr/local/zope/2-6-3/var/Data.fs.pack'

I've added 'zope' as a user to the system with 'nologin', added zope to my
group 'roelvdb' and started Zope with option -u zope

I've been playing around with security settings of files and folders, but I
do not seem to get the right combination
Does any one have an idea or a walktrough?

TIA, Roel
