Richard,

Let's ignore MySQL for the moment.  I think your problem is
using Zope with pcgi.  You mention that you've copied
Zope.cgi to your Apache's cgi-bin directory.  Have you
changed Zope.cgi settings to reflect this?  Also, have
you modified your Apache .conf settings use the
mod_rewrite rule?  What do your apache logs say?

Have your run pcgifile.py (as a cgi script) against Zope.cgi?
The output from this program will help us to diagnose your
problem.  For more info check out:

Note:  Zope.cgi is a pcgi info file, if that's not obvious
from the documentation.
