[Zope] Installing Zope under RedHat

Hi,

I've been running Zope on my Win98 box just to try it out initially (less
setup involved), but now I'm trying to install it on my Linux machine for
better stability etc. I've successfully installed it, and it runs fine* when
I start it manually, but I cannot get it to start on bootup: I've set up a
script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and a link to it in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ (which is
the correct runlevel), but although on bootup it says "Starting Zope.... [
OK ]", Zope actually doesn't launch.
Unfortunately, I don't have the details of the script with me at the moment
(I'll get them ASAP), but until then does anyone know any reasons that might
be causing this? Is there anything in particular that has to be started
before Zope? At present I'm trying to run it with ZServer on port 8080
(although Apache is running on the box on port 80).

Thanks,

Andrew
