      This unpacks Zope into a new directory. Enter the Zope directory and
      run the Zope installer script::

        $ cd Zope-2.4.0-src
        $ python wo_pcgi.py

         You should also say how to install it, if one wants to run as another user rather than root or nobody. I've
         set the sticky bit in the var directory and changed the ownership to root, but I'm having problems when
         accessing my Zope site. Why don't you write what are the recomended ownerships of the zope files and
         directories? There're two how-to's I have as a reference and both differ when talking about this subject. So,
         I guess it would be nice if there is an official version.

         Nevermind, I solved it. The problem is that the folder where Zope is installed and its subfolders (except
         var), should also have this dedicated user as owner.
         However, I still think that you should write something about it, for this how-to says that "nobody" should be
         the owner:
         http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO

         and this one, which is more actual, says that the var directory must be owned by this dedicated user:

         http://www.zope.org/Members/beacon/install_instructions

         According to SETUID.txt it should be own by root. But it doesn't talk about the other folders.
