[Zope] Re: ExtFile Question

[Joseph Kocherhans]

I really don't think apache has anything to do with this. The extfile 
product is trying to create directories under 
/opt/zope/doucet/static/reposit It looks to me like the user that your 
zope instance in running as doesn't have write access to 
/opt/zope/doucet/static/reposit and thus can't create the directories. 
If you don't know what user zope is running as try 'ps waux | grep zope' 
a bunch of info should come up and the first column will be the user. 
Make sure that user can write to /opt/zope/doucet/static/reposit

hth,
