If you are ROOT Zope will run as 'nobody'. Therefore 'nobody' must be given write access to the var directory.

For me that did do the trick. I thought it was more secure to start it as root so that it runs as nobody (top shows it running as user nobody). I created a blank Z2.pid file, changed the owner to nobody, and now it seems to be working. Can anyone confirm the most secure way to run Zope? ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Newbie - Zope won't start
Read the /doc/INSTALL When you run install you should give it the username and group ./install -g nobody -u nobody Try that and start it again.

This is exactly what you should not be. Normally no daemons should run as "root", because it's a potential security hole. Your linux box should have a user "zope", under which the daemon should run. just do a su - zope and run the "start" script again. For me that did do the trick.

[Zope] Newbie - Zope won't start
I downloaded and installed Zope for Linux as per the instructions at zope.org. When I try to start Zope with ./start & I get a report that it has started up on ports 8080, 8021, and 8099. Then I get this: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/zope/Zope-2.2.1-linux2-x86/z2.py", line 708, in ? pf = open(PID_FILE, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/zope/Zope-2.2.1-linux2-x86/var/Z2.p id' I installed it as root and am root when I issue the start command. This is a stock Red Hat 6.2 Intel box. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
