i know you already said you followed it to the letter...

But maybe you have a zone.exe in your folder.. and its trying to run off that?

Is your boot5zones have start zonerperl instead of start zone, in them?

Should look like this in the middle of the file:

start zoneperl . 172.16.21.80 8780 127.0.0.1
start zoneperl . 172.16.21.80 8781 127.0.0.1
start zoneperl . 172.16.21.80 8782 127.0.0.1
start zoneperl . 172.16.21.80 8783 127.0.0.1
start zoneperl . 172.16.21.80 8784 127.0.0.1

Easy way to check would be see if you have a zone.exe in your folders, if so delete it, then rerun and see if your boot5zones even works at all.

Also did you fix the logs errors? All you should need to do is create a folder for that... should be easy
