I am running into errors while trying to install Zope on a RedHat 7.1 
server (actually I am trying this install on two servers-same errors 
on both).  I want to run Zserver as a separate server apart from the 
Apache web server which is running on port 80.  I first tried 
installing the Zope-2.4.1-linux2-x86.tgz binary.

When I run ./install, I get the following error:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission Denied: '/usr/local/zope/var/Z2.pid'

I have doubled check the permissions.  Every file under 
/usr/local/zope/ is owned by -u root, -g users.  (I even got a 
message from 'flint' on this list about permissions--thanks for the 
message, but there is no Z2.pid file).   Now the interesting thing is 
that there is NO Z2.pid file in /zope/var.  There are two .pid files: 
pcgi.pid and zProcessManager.pid. 

Actually, I got Zope to go (limpingly) by copying zProcessManager.pid 
and naming it Z2.pid, but then I ran into other errors such as no 
tutorials files.  Zope could not locate any of the /Product files.

Out of frustration I tried the Zope rpm installs.  Of course, I tried 
to upgrade python 1.5.2.  However, the python 2.2.1 rpm install files 
installed python2 and did not remove/upgrade python 1.5.2.  I am sure 
Zope is looking for python not python2.  Is this correct?  Is there a 
way to force an upgrade over python and not install a new version 
(python2)?

Just FYI, I have also tried binaries and src files not just RPMs, but 
cannot get those to work either.  I thought I'd start with these two 
problems and go from there.

What might be going on?
