[Zope] Virtual Host Monster and <BASE ..>

[Patrick]

You might have to make a virtual root for your real root as in make  a url
like http://www.domain.com/zope could be referenced to your root folder so
that when you type www.domain.com/zope you end up in your root folder...

Hope this helps,,

My 2 cents,
Patrick.
