Make sure you have Web Folders installed - this is an option in the
IE5 install. Web Folders come for free (I think) in Win98 and Win2000
but not under NT4. If you haven't got a Web Folders icon under My Computer
then it isn't installed.

One way is to edit z2.py. You want the lines

# Port for HTTP Server. The standard port for HTTP services is 80.
HTTP_PORT=8080

Change the second one and restart Zope.
