The Zope user needs to be able to read every file under the install directory. Those files are "software", and should be safe to make world readable, e.g.: # chmod -R a+r /path/to/installed/zope The Zope user needs *write* access only into the 'var' and 'log' subdirectories of the instance, but must have read access to the whole instance.
