I assume you also restarted apache.

Make sure apache has write permission to the Zope 'var/' directory. Apache
runs as the user 'nobody' by default. For testing purposes, just make the
Zope var directory world writable (chmod 777 var) and give it another try. 

Just as a general rule of thumb, the '102 fail to connect' errors are
often caused by permission problems such as this. They should be the first
thing you check after receiving this error.
