[Zope] newbie install problems

[Maring, Steve]

Roger that.  Successfully compiled Zope 2.5.1 with Python 2.1.3.  When
trying to run the "start" script, however, it complains of permission
problems on the var directory:

2002-06-05T16:28:39 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception
Traceback (innermost last):
  File /home/smaring/zope/Zope-2.5.1-src/z2.py, line 690, in ?
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/home/smaring/zope/Zope-2.5.1-src/var/Z2.pid'

And rightly so considering the permissions:
drwxrwxr-x    2 1000     users        4096 Jun  5 12:28 var/

I added root to the users group in /etc/group, since I was trying to run the
start script as root, but that didn't help.  It must be trying to run as a
different user.  Anybody know what is going here?  Or where I can find the
"FAQ"?

Thanks.
Steve

this is a FAQ: you must use python 2.1 with zope 2.5.1. python 2.2 is not 
officially spported. as far as i know this is clearly mentioned in the 
docs that come with the source distribution.
