Thanks for this. I had the same issue on the upgrade to Lion and this solution solves it.

You might want to do a bit more for completeness.

sudo dscl . -create /Users/zend uid 103 UserShell /usr/bin/false RealName “ZendServer’s dedicated group”
– This will create a user with a bit more information and the inability to use a shell on default log in (bit of security there); along with a name so you can see why it exists. Also:

sudo dscl . -create /Groups/zend gid 103
– The installer creates a group with a matching gid. Not sure where that’s used, but I think the default installer creates that group even if the uninstaller doesn’t get rid of that group.

Found the above our running two machines side by side – one that had snow leopard on it before I installed ZendServer; and one that had snow leopard installed afterwards (which is what nuked the zend user and group)

Iâ€™ve heard there are some wildlife groups trying to get Apple to do more stuff with the actual S.L.â€™s lol. I donâ€™t know- people are saying itâ€™s good PR for Apple- they should jump on that.

Worked for me! Hope Zend will fix this issue soon. Should not be that much of a problem.

I could see it was 103 by doing an ls -l on the data directory. If there’s no username associated with the user ids for a file owner, the raw number is printed instead of the user friendly name.
