Automating ZEO daemon startup

I am receiving error messages when attempting to start ZEO
in daemon
mode. I have looked up several tutorials, but they are all
out of
date, or don't help.

I have setup ZEO according to:
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/robust-instal
lation
which is why I'm posting here, rather than on the Zope
lists.

I receive an error message and a progressive series of dots
when I
attempt to start ZEO:

[zopelocalhost zope]$ zeo/bin/zeoctl start
. Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/opt/zope/zope/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py",
line 719, in ?
    main()
  File
"/opt/zope/zope/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py",
line 716, in main
    d.main(args)
  File
"/opt/zope/zope/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py",
line 243, in main
    self.run()
  File
"/opt/zope/zope/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py",
line 256, in run
    self.opensocket()
  File
"/opt/zope/zope/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py",
line 278, in opensocket
    sock.bind(tempname)
  File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.error: (13, 'Permission denied')
. . . . . . . . [dots continue to appear at a regular
interval]

If I start ZEO using:
zeo/bin/runzeo

then all is fine, the Zope clients connect, etc. but it logs
to the
console and I want to run in daemon mode.

TIA

Ben

The error is caused by an improper permission setting in
/log/zeo.log  
when the daemon starts up.
This is an annoying bug that probably should be reported to
the Zope  
development team.
For a workaround, see the following lines the the Plone 2.5
Unified  
(UNIX/Linux) Installer's install.sh script.

--snip--

###########################################
# Pre-initialize log file and set appropriate permissions
# (if unset, ZEO server refuses to start as an unprivileged
user via  
'zeoctl start')
touch $ZEOSERVER_HOME/log/zeo.log
chmod 775 $ZEOSERVER_HOME/log/zeo.log

--snip--

Hi Kamal, thanks for responding but the problem still
stands.

The tutorial included instructions to change the permissions
(to 755,
not 775 - which I followed). I changed the permissions as
you
suggested, but it hasn't stopped the error occuring. I even
tried 777
for the log directory and the log file, so I don't think
that's it.

Looking at the .py file it seems the error is around opening
a socket
(and perhaps setting it to 700 as well).

I'll try the Zope list if there's no more ideas as to the
resolution -
that .py file is beyond my understanding

Perhaps it has something to do with the user private groups
in RHEL?

I'm using:
CentOS 3.7
Python 2.4.3
Zope 2.9.4
Plone 2.5

Ben, would you confirm that the user is set properly in
zeo.conf, and  
that user has write perms at $ZEOSERVER_HOME/log/zeo.log ?
For example, if zeo.conf has 'plone' as the effective
user, does that  
user have the ability to write to zeo.log?
You may need to perform a chown on the directory tree to set
the  
appropriate ownership to be consistent with the settings in
zeo.conf.
