Hi!
I tryed installing Zenoss Core 3.1.0 on FreeBSD 8.2 from ports in VMware.
FreeBSD was fresh, had no ports before the trail.
The installation passed fine.
mysql server was started.

Than:

rehash
service zenoss init

I got a problem:

mv: /usr/local/zenoss/etc/zope.conf: set owner/group (was: 949/0): Operation not permitted
mv: /usr/local/zenoss/etc/zope.conf: set owner/group (was: 949/0): Operation not permitted
Wrote file /usr/local/zenoss/etc/zeo.conf
Wrote file /usr/local/zenoss/bin/zeoctl
Changed mode for /usr/local/zenoss/bin/zeoctl to 755
Wrote file /usr/local/zenoss/bin/runzeo
Changed mode for /usr/local/zenoss/bin/runzeo to 755
mv: /usr/local/zenoss/etc/zeo.conf: set owner/group (was: 949/0): Operation not permitted
Starting Zope Object Database
.
daemon process started, pid=20126
Loading initial Zenoss objects into the Zeo database
(this can take a few minutes)
Unable to create the initial Zenoss object database

I spent some hours to solve the problem.
At last I did that:

zentest# cp /usr/local/zenoss/etc/zope.conf.in /usr/local/zenoss/etc/zope.conf
zentest# chown zenoss:zenoss /usr/local/zenoss/etc/zope.conf

With new "zope.conf" the initialization had been completed.

Previous "zope.conf" was wrong. It was copied from /usr/local/zenoss/lib/python/Zope2/utilities/skel/zope.conf.in

I think it can help somebody.

But if you think the program will work wrong in the future, please tell me.
Thanks.

Thanks, Shane!
Should I revert to the snapshot I made before manual changes and "service zenoss init" ?

Script doesn't work in FreeBSD port because:

1)shared-functions.sh & install-functions.sh are in $ZENHOME/init

2)All variables and functions aren't defined:

# environment variable
export OS_USERNAME="**OS_USERNAME**"
export OS_UID="**OS_UID**"
export ZENHOME="**ZENHOME**"
export MYSQLHOST="**MYSQL_HOST**"

....etc

# set the python shebang line
shebang

# create the log directory
mkdir -p ${ZENHOME}/log

# restart external server daemons
restart_snmpd
restart_mysql

# copy the etc/*.conf.example files to etc/*.conf if etc/*.conf don't
# already exist (we don't want to clobber people's configs)
update_conf_files

....etc

Oh wow, a lot of things ended up off base. Did your tweaking fix that init_pre script?
