Sorry, my fault :) Of course you're right... The problem was that I took for granted the scenery where there was another webserver (mainly Apache) on port 80. I don´t know if that´s the case with Borges's problem, but I thank you for pointing that out. Gil Paul Winkler wrote:

Try this instead in the mappings tab: www.example.com:80/vhm_test
It should work, since port 80 is the http default port number.
Well, *something* has to be running on port 80 for that to work. You can't magically bind to a port just by configuring vhm...
either run zope behind another webserver that runs on port 80 (recommended);
or set up port forwarding on your firewall so that traffic to port 80 gets sent to zope on 8080 (this doesn't work for clients on localhost);
or start zope as root with the -u flag and run it directly on port 80 (blech).*
* blech because it doesn't work at all with ZEO, and because starting as root seems unnecessarily foolhardy given that there are other perfectly good solutions.
