[Zope] newbie: cannot connect to localhost after installing

[ghaley@mail.venaca.com]

	two things:

	usually zope installs in a directory called /opt/zope/ and it is
from there that the start script runs.  if you moved zope scripts to your
/etc/init.d/ directory, you will need to start it with something like:

	/etc/init.d/zope/start 

	i'm not sure this is such a great idea.  it may be better to set
up a script that executes and starts zope from the right place.  something
that can happen is that when you start moving components out of the
default location, things don't work the way they should.

	2.  when you go to localhost, do you get the apache welcome page
at all?  you might try http://127.0.0.1 make sure your apache install
worked, then try to go to port 8080.
