A version of Zope will be released on Friday that includes
it's own Apache.  It may be a good starting point for you.

Other possibilities:

  - Upgrade your Apache if it isn't recent (not always possible)
  - Check to make sure mod_rewrite is compiled in:  httpd -l
  - Try using RewriteLog with loglevel 9 and see what it says.
  - Remember to check the apache access and error logs.
